OK, so it's better than the plastic Safeway bag!

DVDs are the perfect stocking stuffer. The cheapo in me likes them because they take up space and the giver in me loves that everyone loves movies but, would rarely buy one for themselves.

People have said that gift cards are unpersonal and that they don't require thought. I tend to disagree with that, especially in the case of stocking stuffers and throw ins. You can stick with the standbys- Starbucks, grocery stores, Target, Blockbuster, Visa or go more personal and get one from the person's favorite store/cafe/restaurant/wherever. Go to Safeway or CVS to get them.

For the photog on your list, the Pinhole Camera Solargraphy Kit helps them build a green camera in 1-2 hours. There isn't any lens on the camera, so pictures are best taken in bright light situations. It's a fun retro gift.  Use 35mm film (not included) preferably ISO200. Here are the tech specs off of the website: 

Film type: Aperture 1.16mm. Focal length: 20mm. F stop F/130. Pinhole cameras do not have optical lenses. Film is exposed by light through a tiny hole in front of camera. Because there is no lens, the image will be in focus at all distances. Best pinhole pictures are taken on a bright day. The camera must be very still when shooting. Exposure times range from 5 seconds to hours and sometimes days.

With the Crystal Purse Holder, you can clip it on the side of any table bar and hang your purse far above the bacteria infested bar floor.
