Snap Happy
What It Is: A Polaroid camera for the 21st century. The Socialmatic camera is square-shaped to simulate an app, which in and of itself is a bit meta, as the beloved filters of Instagram are Polaroid-inspired. Want to save a photo from a special day? You can edit it using the camera’s digital scree, post it to social media, or print it off on the spot, making it an ultimate memory-making device from the originators of the instant film camera.
Who It’s For: Your daughter, to remind her that things on paper are still awesome. Your spouse, who loved the original Polaroid cameras and would like an update. Your sister, to snap memories of her new family on the fly as they expand.
What It Costs: $349
Where It’s At: Amazon.ca
BONUS entry into my Nuvango giveaway – tell me in the comments, what do you think of this gift idea?
Great gift idea
As someone who has a few digital cameras but never prints pictures out, I think this is a fab idea! Would love it as a gift.
This is a great gift idea. I would like it for myself.
Way too many other options to get any use out of this camera.
My teen daughter would snort milk out her nose if she was lucky enough to have one of these. How cool! I personally couldn’t imagine how much more I would finish in my baby books if I had this at my disposal!
All 3 of my kids would love this
Wow – another awesome item! It is just so suitable for me, I would love it for myself 😉 I never get around to printing photos. Ha! I had a Polaroid “Swinger” when I was 16.
My tech loving grandson would love this.
Nuvango bonus entry: I think this gift idea would be wonderful if only for the cost
absolutely awesome ! That’s what I think of this gift idea.
Very expensive but I love it. I have HAPPY memories of my Poliroid. I only gave it up when I couldn”t get film.
I like it, you can give someone a picture on the spot.
It would be a fun gift, but I wouldn’t buy it for myself.
My daughter would love this!!!
Love it, but too pricey.
I totally loved Polaroid back in the day and I’m happy to see that the new cameras are so much sleeker. I have a few friends who would appreciate this but it is quite expensive!
Love this camera, however, can’t see myself spending this much money on it.
This would be so convenient for sharing while on the go. Nice camera!
This is a wonderful camera and I would love to give it to my daughter!
I love this camera. It would be a great gift for my niece
i think it’s a fun idea! teenagers would love it!
I want one! Great idea!
It would make a great gift idea and I’d love one myself!
I think it’ll be just another one of those things to sit around.
This would be great! Expensive though!
