There never seem to be enough outlets, especially in the lighting booth. Help them keep the lights on with this portable power bank for their various electronics.
If you prefer to give gifts with a “WOW” factor, then consider the Rosco X-Effects LED Projector. This gift idea has a higher price tag, but considering all of the different lighting effects this fixture can create – this gift idea will be a continual source of inspiration for years to come.

The Artemis Pro app is the perfect last-minute gift for your filmmaker friends. It’s the first digital viewfinder for smartphones, but the additional bells and whistles will quickly land this gift at the top of any filmmaker’s wishlist.
After supplying color filters to the entertainment industry for over 100 years, we know how important the color of light is for cinematographers. This color meter can precisely measure every kind of light – which helps take the guesswork out of lighting a scene on location.

Gift a Scenic Artist with a Rosco Scenic Set and their possibilities are endless! This specific set features four warm Rosco paint colors: Ultramarine Blue, Golden Yellow, Brilliant Red, and everyone’s favorite… Raw Umber. Using these four primary hues, artists can explore color theory and mix together warm-toned color blends that can only be found on their palette. Pair this gift with a set of Rosco Iddings Paint Brushes and guarantee your spot as the number one gift giver in the family.
We don’t call it the multitool of the scenic world for nothing! Artists can use CrystalGel as an adhesive, to create a stained-glass effect, or they can use it as a primer or a finishing glaze – and much, much more.
Whether they need to keep their coffee hot, or they need to keep their drink cool in the hot paint shop during the summer months, this Rosco-branded tumbler will keep their beverages the perfect temperature all year round.
“Efficiency” and “Versatility” may be the two most powerful words in a scenic artist’s vocabulary. Give them the gift of both with a Preval Sprayer. Then, all they need to do is load it with Rosco Scenic Paints and they’re ready to create whatever scenic art project comes their way!
We love this Barbie-inspired shirt design from our friends at the Guild of Scenic Artists – and we know your favorite scenic artist will love it too.

Heralded by many professionals as the “perfect eyelight,” the DMG DASH makes an excellent gift for any Gaffer. And if you really want to make their spirits bright, pair the DASH with its DOT Round Diffuser Accessory. Just trust us.
Help your favorite Gaffer stay warm without sacrificing range of motion with this sleek Rosco-branded puffer vest.
A gaffer working on set needs a tool they can count on at their side. Whether it’s cutting tie-line with its 2.9 in. (7.37 cm.) blade, or using its wire cutter/stripper to repair a non-functional light on set, any gaffer or set lighting technician would love to have this lightweight-yet-strong multi-tool clipped to their belt. Leatherman even offers customizing options if you want to etch their name or logo into it.
Everyone has the small, 1”x3” Rosco gel swatchbooks – but the gaffer on your list will love finding this 3”x6” swatchbook of Rosco’s most popular lighting filters in their stocking because the larger samples make it easier to choose the right Rosco gel for the shot.

Whether they’re spending hours shooting on a mountaintop, or simply running from their car to set during the colder months, this Rosco branded jacket is a genius gift for the Photographer in your life. Bonus - it is super light and packable, so it won’t occupy much precious space in their bag!
Sometimes, the essentials really do make the best gifts. The most precious piece of equipment in a photographer’s bag is their lenses. Help them keep their glass clean with Rosco Lens Cleaner & Tissue - trusted by photographers, cinematographers, and camera lens manufacturers around the world.
Convenience is key for any photographer, so make sure they have a tripod that travels easily! This lightweight and versatile tripod weighs in at 4.2 lb. (1.9 kg) and is only 20” (50.8 cm) long when fully collapsed – but expands to a maximum height of 59” (150 cm) when fully expanded.
With the perfect blend of color correction and color effect Rosco gels – this kit contains 20 of the most essential lighting filters that photographers need. Each filter inside is 12”x12” (30.48 cm x 30.48 cm), which is big enough to cover most strobes, and they can be cut down to fit speedlights or other smaller light sources.
Behind every great photographer is a piping hot cup of coffee. And what better way to enjoy it than in this stainless-steel coffee mug that’s designed to look like a camera lens?
