Capture the moment in a snap.
You really can, and have it to hold forever in just an instant with the help of instant cameras. Popularized by the iconic brand Polaroid, these cameras not only allow you to take a picture on the go without using your phone, but can print them out on demand, too.
Polaroids can be used for so much, even after the photo has been taken. Use the photos to decorate your bedroom or dorm, make a photo book or collage or even frame them to create a unique piece of art for your space.
These cameras also make great gifts for the budding photographer in your life, especially since they are sold at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Urban Outfitters and more.
