Looking for a cool gift for a friend, who just bought a T2i, on a 100$ budget. Any suggestions? He only has the body with the kit lens and a 50 1.8 so far...

A box of this stuff would make for a nice little gift.

1.How about a care package? extra t2i battery, extra memory, camera bag, 52mm reverse lens mount adaptor for turning the 50 into a 'macro'lens, a starter tripod, etc. Start a cart in amazon and see what you get for $100. 6D, Sigma 24mm f1.4 art, sigma 85 f1.4 art

) i suggested the nifty fifty there, also the 18-55 was a valid suggestion. how about a voucher for accessoires? i find the bag idea not to bad, although i know that i would want to choose my own bag, i probably wouldn't be completely happy with something i didn't choose myself...
