Gallery: 8 Great Gifts for the Selfie-Obsessed Instagram Addict
DxO01selfies-1
This teeny little [DxO One](http://www.dxo.com/us/dxo-one) clip-on turns your regular old iPhone into a very, very capable camera. Paired with the DxO One app, you suddenly have access to a (much) better lens and DSLR-level control over aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and way more. You can also just shoot in auto mode if that’s overwhelming. The device pivots around, as well, meaning you can take some beautiful selfies—it beats the front-facing camera by, oh I don’t know, a million landslides. $599.

The most devoted selfie taker might not want a DSLR, but they’d certainly prefer something with more capabilities. These [Photojojo stick-on lenses](https://2.photojojo.com/products/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses) ($20-$115) give you the best of both worlds: a pocket-friendly camera and some impressive glass. They work on any smartphone, too, so you don’t have to worry about what generation or model your recipient is currently rocking.

Smartphone flashes are typically terrible, and even the devices that are supposed to be best in low light are lacking. Photojojo's handy [clip-in accessory](https://2.photojojo.com/products/awesomeness/pocket-spotlight) ($30) adds a much more natural amount of light to a darker setting that a harsh, bright flash.
Joby04selfies-7
This little [Gorillapod](http://www.amazon.com/GripTight-GorillaPod-Stand-Smaller-SmartPhones/dp/B009GHYMB6) ($14.50) clamps onto your mobile phone with its gentle jaws, holding it tight while you wrap its flexible legs around whatever nearby stable structre you'd like. Fasten it to a tree branch for an arborist selfie, or attach it to a chain link fence for Sunday in the park ussies. It works as a traditional tripod too—just stiffen the legs by pulling them straight.
Hapurs05selfies-8
The selfie is a populist medium. Artists prefer a true self-portrait. What they need is a Bluetooth shutter. [This tiny remote](http://www.amazon.com/Hapurs-Bluetooth-Wireless-Control-Shutter/dp/B00N8J7SIM/) ($7) pairs to nearly any phone (there are buttons for iOS and Android), so you can fire the camera app from across the room—it works up to 30 or so feet away. Strike a pose!
Polaroid06selfies-4
Every so often, you want to get out of your screen—and when that moment comes, you should be able to take the beautiful things you’ve photographed with you. [Polaroid's Zip Instant Mobile Printer](https://2.photojojo.com/products/awesomeness/polaroid-zip-instant-printer) ($130-$180) gives you the freedom to print your Instagrams or any photo on your phone quickly (less than a minute) and easily.
Photojojo07selfies-5
If you’re constantly taking pictures, your phone is constantly dying. You probably know someone who devotedly puts their phone in airplane mode the second they enter any event they'll be documenting—but that’s certainly not a fail-safe solution. (Especially if, you know, someone needs to get ahold of them.) [These wallets](https://2.photojojo.com/awesomeness/power-wallet-phone-charger?) ($65 and up) have a battery pack inside to power up a smartphone, so they'll never miss that perfect photo-op or fall out of touch.
Selfie Station08selfies-6
If you are a really, really, really good friend or family member and would like to gift someone with effort-free selfies, then this is the service for you. You can either rent or buy a [Selfie Station](http://buy.selfiestation.com/), which is basically a glorified, Internet-connected photo booth that looks like a giant iPhone. We all know at least one person for whom this is very on-brand.
