Plushtography: Great Gifts for Photographers

This is a cute idea that also makes sense. There’s lots of people who are crazy for cameras. These people often dispose of their income on camera-related accessories and trinkets. It’s like the founders of Plushtography said to themselves: why not make big, soft, huggable camera lenses for them to embrace? And so they did:

Plushtography is run by the minds of Benson, Christine and Kevin. With a perfect mixture of craft, creativity, and passion, our powers combine to populate your world with huggable prime and zoom lenses. Our products are 100% handmade, and each one is pre-hugged by a team of koalas to ensure maximum huggability.

The plushes, based on actual Canon and Nikon lenses, are made from fleece, felt “and love”. The Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Nikon 35mm f/1.8 lenses measure 8″ x  8″ x 7″ and cost $41 domestic / $47 international. Next week, a whopping 9.5″x 9.5″ x 18″ Canon 24-105mm f/4 goes on sale for $77 domestic / $82 international. These huggable camera lenses would make great gifts for photographers. I’m sure I know at least a few people who “need” one of these…
