If you’re a business owner like me, you’ve probably heard about video being one the most important tactics in marketing. Why? Because consumers love to watch videos. So, whether you’re in business or just love creating videos with friends and family, this gift guide is for you.

AirSelfie Camera

AirSelfieCamera.com

The AirSelfie Camera is pretty cool because it fits in your pocket or purse and is lighter than a pen. It flies like a drone, but you don’t need to be experienced with them to use the AirSelfie. You just download the app, toss it up in the air, and it flies. (But don’t do this on a windy day. Remember, it’s lighter than a pen. My husband learned this hard way when we were playing with it in the backyard.) You can take photos and videos and post them to any social network.

The AirSelfie Camera sells for $299.

CliqueFie Max

CliqueFie.com

The CliqueFie selfie stick and tripod. It is ultra-portable because it easily breaks down for storage and travel. It also comes in fun colors, like hot pink, and is controlled by a wireless Bluetooth remote so you don’t need to worry about cords, apps, or extra buttons are required to take your shots.

The CliqueFie Max sells for $49.99.

SelfieSpin 360

SelfieSpin360.com

Let’s round out the selfie themed products with the SelfieSpin 360. This product is pretty creative and gives you a great reason to use the slow motion setting on your phone. Imagine a selfie stick that you can take a 360 degree video by spinning it over your head. That’s what this does. You can also attach your GoPro to it and jump under water for some pretty cool video and still shoots. I’ve used this with my iPhone, but can’t wait to get a GoPro on it and head to the beach.

The SelfieSpin 360 sells for $40.

PogoCam

When I discovered this product, I was blown away. PogoCam is a wearable camera with a universal adapter to fit almost any pair of glasses magnetically. It’s smaller than a tube of lip balm, light, and won’t get in your way as you record memories — so you stay in the moment. The images you capture are easy to transfer and can be shared across all social sites.

Miggo’s Pictar

Miggo’s Pictar is like a DSLR for your iPhone. It converts an iPhone into a real camera with a spring-loaded grip, external buttons for easier control and better pictures, and 10 pre-set modes for any type of scene. As someone who has both a DSLR and an iPhone, it’s so nice to have something like this that is light to just add to my iPhone to get that DSLR quality when I don’t want to carry the real thing around.

The Miggo Pictar sells for $100-$110.

Medium Photo Backdrop Boards

MediumPhotoBoards.com

I love looking at flat lays and images with beautiful backdrops. Medium Photo Backdrop Boards are perfect for bloggers, creators, and photographers. They make your images look so much better by being placed on or infront of what looks like a marble, granite, rustic wood, slate, or a burlap background. The boards are 28x22 inches. Portions of each sale go towards the pet adoption and preservation.

Medium Photo Backdrop Boards sell for $40 each.

GorillaPod 325

Joby.com

This GorillaPod 325 is small, but mighty. I use this all the time. It’s a tripod for an iPhone that works wonders because it’s so flexible. You can wrap it around objects for unlimited angles and precise composition control. It also has new a stainless steel reinforced ball head with 90° tilt that is perfect for shooting in portrait or landscape mode for FaceTime, live streaming and selfies… or shooting episodes of Baking with Bunny with my daughter. It’s also compact and lightweight so I can take it anywhere.

The GorillaPod 325 sells for $24.95.

Home Cinema Projector
