Great gift ideas

Things I wanted for Christmas but knew I'd probably have to buy them myself...so I did.

 

My “Caden” brand back pack camera bag. It has lots of compartments for holding all my photography gear and even a space for my tripod and water bottle. The price was just under $30.

My Nikon 300mm telephoto zoom lens was just under $52 (including shipping). Great for nature photography when you don't want to get too close to wildlife but still want to get a close up shot.

 

A “Neewer” brand 2X telephoto converter. This converter, when attached to my 300mm lens will effectively double the focal length from 300mm to 600mm. This was less than $30.

“Xit” brand wide angle, fisheye lens for getting a great wide angle view of the landscape you're photographing. Cost (including shipping) was less than $30.

 

A “Bower” brand 3.5 telephoto converter lens. This converter will effectively convert my 300mm lens to over a 1000mm lens at no where near the normal cost of a traditional 1000mm lens. The cost was less than $30. All of these items were purchased on Ebay. If you're unfamiliar with ebay.com you can check them out using this link: https://ebay.to/2Smb1ho

 

This last item (my favorite) did NOT come from Ebay. This large capacity drinking cup w/lid came from an online ETSY store. The store / business is female owned and operated. She does excellent work as you can see. The drinking cup is metal (keeps my beverages cold) but surrounded with a resin (like plastic) that keeps the cold from transferring to my hand. If you're wondering how I know this is a female owned business, I work with her husband in the office furniture business.

This was my Christmas gift list to me. Ebay and Etsy are great places to shop for gifts any time of the year. Check them out and tell me about your experiences. I'd love to hear about the great gift deals you get.
