Secret Santa help!

[MalingeringMary]

We have a work Secret Santa with a budget of £10 (I'm happy to go slightly over). I've pulled the newbie.

Been with us 3 weeks, is now on holiday for 3 weeks.

All I know is, he's early 30s, he has 3 kids and likes photography 🤷‍♀️

Any ideas please? Thank you!

Could you buy him a fish eye lens attachment for his phone?

Or one of those cardboard kits that turns your phone into a projector?

Triple aspect frame? Like this

Projector kit is a good idea, thank you!

Thanks for the idea. I wouldn't want to presume his taste in home decor though!

Something edible? Does he drink? Box lindt chocs, fancy flavoured pork scratchings, flavoured nuts, bottle of red, mug he could use at work- maybe with a photography theme?

Gorilla type tripod for his phone? (Bendy, twists round stuff, lots if you use that term on Amazon.)

Thanks for the ideas. I think he's Hindu, from a half overhead conversation, so wouldn't want to risk booze/pork scratchings etc. And he only drinks water at work!

It's so hard when he's off for so long between now and Christmas, and as we work in different departments, conversation is limited to when we bump into each other in the kitchen! Argh!

Ooh, on the shortlist, thank you!

Lens/sensor cleaning kit?
Fingerless gloves? I do photography and can’t work my camera with full gloves but my hands get chilly with no gloves but I guess it depends what sort of photography he’s in too.
A voucher for a local camera shop or book shop?
A chocolate orange and a pair of funky socks?

Stalk him on SM to try to see his background, things he likes to do, hobbies

id play it safe and get a Shoo bottle or something similar especially as you say he only seems to drink water
