Mini printers or instagram printers let you pump out photos straight from your phone. Great fun for kids or parties! This one from Polaroid prints mini prints (5 x 7.5cm) but there are bigger ones too.

3. Drone – from $500

You can get an entry level drone for around $500 but the good ones start at $800. The Parrot Bebop Drone photo and video stream synchronises in real-time with your iPhone, so you can instantly share your best photos on Facebook or Instagram and showcase your flights on YouTube with the touch of a finger. Great fun to video yourself skiing. Unlike a GoPro which videos the terrain in front or behind you, the drone can hover in front of you while you surf, ski, run, jump! Epic fun!
