Pros and cons
What we like

- Fun frames and filters are built in
- Rechargeable, so no batteries to buy
- One of six possible designs makes opening it a surprise
What may bother
- Design is random from six, so you cannot choose
- Tiny camera means basic image quality compared with a phone
- Small enough to lose if not clipped on securely
Our verdict
89 / 100Think of it as a stocking-stuffer camera for a teen or friend who likes unusual gadgets. Skip it for a serious photographer who needs control or image quality.

How we score
The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
