Buying for a photographer
Photographers are specific about gear. Check the camera system and mount before you buy a lens or an accessory. Experiences and prints are safer than equipment you guess at.
A keepsake of your story is a picture of your own.
Buying for your husband
Husbands often say they want nothing. Take that as a challenge to choose something he would not buy himself.
Add a note that says what you value now, not what you valued then.
