For the Video Enthusiast
Christmas Gifts For Dads
If they don't already have a video camera and you know they'll want to do more than just shoot nice pictures, invest in a camera that has an external microphone jack. The quality of audio you get from using an external mike versus the microphone built-in to the camera is incomparable. I like the Canon FS400 Flash Memory Camcorder (link below).

If they already have a camera with a mike input (check it by looking up the model number of the camera and under specifications, see if it has an input option) a great gift is a lavaliere microphone. There are many kinds. Make sure to buy one that works with the specific connection to your camera, or buy a microphone adapter. A great place to start your search is at B&H Photo Video.
Film It Now, Package It Later
Video Storybook
Do you have grandparents or grandchildren who live far away? Make the connection a daily presence by filming a grandparent reading children's stories. If the grandparent is not comfortable using video equipment, why not film it during the Thanksgiving holidays, then put it on DVD later and wrap it up for a great holiday gift?
Video Recipe
Is there a special recipe in the family that must be preserved? What about those recipes where there are no written instructions? (My grandmother made the world's best mandel bread without a recipe! I stood next to her one day and wrote down each step.) Videotaping someone making a favorite recipe not only gives you the details of the recipe itself, but also lets you see the small special touches that make the recipe a treasure. Best of all, you now have video of that special someone in action.
A Crafty Idea
Family History Clothing
Something my boys and I have discovered and love is iron-on transfer paper! Take your family apparel to a new level by blowing up a photo and using iron-on transfer paper to make t-shirts, bags, or whatever item you can think of to iron on. You can even take an image of your family tree and make great gifts for an upcoming family reunion. Iron-on transfer paper can be found at any craft store.
