Diana Starter Kit
Vintage plastic Diana cameras date back to the early ’60s, and are coveted by photographers for their dreamy, lo-fi effect. Originals go for $100 and up on eBay and are becoming increasingly scarce. Fortunately, the camera has been reissued (with a few upgrades) as the Diana+. If you know nothing about cameras, but need a gift for someone who’s into photography, this is a pretty good bet.
$50 at Lomographic Society International | Buy

Portrait Commission with Diane Rollins Feissel
I hesitate to tell the world about her lest she become too busy to fulfill my gift requests, but Diane painted our wedding portrait, and it’s one of my very favorite things. We even joined forces with some friends last year to purchase a portrait as a wedding gift for some friends.
I can’t resist the charm of marking an important life transition with artwork. Diane’s portraits are touching gifts for any occassion, but an especially lovely gesture for weddings, new parents, or grandparents who would love a family portrait. You can even commission her and allow the recipient to decide on the image they’d like her to paint.
When it’s really important that you get it right, this is the way to go.
$700 at Diane Rollins Feissel | Buy
(Price varies by subject and size of the portrait.)

Leica M8
The coveted camera that makes photographers feverish with desire. Buying it online makes it less likely that someone has licked it before you receive it. Though you can’t really guarantee that, I suppose.

The Z Club
An excellent gift for folks who already have too much stuff. Zingerman’s seeks out rare foodstuffs and ships them direct. Every box is a surprise, but past shipments have included long-“extinct” raw stilton cheese, marmalade made from tiny Southeast Asian oranges, and an exotic elixir made from the tears of virgins. Delicious.
$600 at Zingerman's | Buy
(For four shipments of 8-10 items each.)

Francis Francis! X3 Espresso Machine
Soooo. One $3 latte a day for a year is $1,095. This machine pays for itself in six months.
One of the best compact home espresso machines in the under-$1,000 price range. Excellent foam, small footprint, happy colors. Best of all, you can actually replace the parts when it breaks instead of throwing the whole thing away and starting over.

They also have a girl head, and they’d make fantastic book ends. Please click through just to read the excellent description of the product, which reads, in part:

Sigg Water Bottles
I adore this thing. It keeps tap water cool and crisp, reigns in my expensive and destructive plastic water bottle purchases, and helps me keep track of how much water I drink in a day. Also, the bottle opening is little, so I’m not constantly sloshing water all over myself while I’m on the treadmill. It comes in a kazillion colors and designs, but my favorite is the swirly black and white. Go get one.
