Point, press, and a credit-card-sized photo whirs out into your hand seconds later - no phone, no screen, no 'I'll send it to you later' that never happens. The Mini 12 keeps it foolproof: automatic exposure, a twist-to-turn-on lens, a little selfie mirror, and film that develops in front of you.

It is a brilliant gift for a teen, a scrapbooker, or anyone who misses physical photos in a phone world. The prints become fridge magnets, wedding-table favours and wallet keepsakes - the fun is in holding them.

The honest catch

Film is an ongoing cost - the camera is cheap, but the packs of instant film add up, so factor a couple of packs into the gift.

Who should skip it

Skip for someone who only wants digital photos, or who would balk at buying film refills.
