And, because we know that finding the perfect gift is no easy task, we’ve done it for you.
You’re welcome.

They are irresistibly affordable, come in a variety of shades and are equipped with the latest snapping features. We love, we want, we need. Please someone, anyone, get us one. Or, two. Or, one of each. Please.
To help make the search even easier, we’ve shortlisted five of our favourites and we’ve even included who they’d be best suited for.
Behold, our pick of the lot:

This classic, portable camera is perfect for the person who misses “the good ol’ days”. Aside from looking effortlessly chic, the camera features some of the latest state of the art technology, which allows you to shoot in a variety of modes such as the bulb exposure mode, the shutter remains open (up to 10 seconds) while the shutter button is depressed, enabling photo capture that shows attractive night views and light streaks.
The camera is super easy to use and comes in two can’t go wrong colours – black and brown. It also features a neat selfie mirror to help you get that perfectly composed snap.
We suggest: The brown mini 90. It has that authentic instax vibe.
What we love: There are two separate shutter buttons – one for portraits and another for landscape, which makes capturing your precious memory so much easier.
