With less than three weeks until Christmas, it's safe to say the 'festive scramble' has begun.
And while many are frantically trying to snap up last-minute gifts and anxiously Googling guides, there is one 'remarkable' buy those in the know are raving about.
The Instant Camera
Currently flying off shelves across the country, these colourful Fujifilm Instax gadgets are quite literally the 'pick' of the season and are perfect for family members, colleagues and loved ones of any age.
"A throw back to the days of thinking about your photo before taking the shot," one user said. "Coolest mini camera ever."
The pretty little gismos are slick, on-trend and user-friendly and once gifted transform into a time capsule of each Christmas day.
Creative Uses
In fact, many re-purpose the happy snaps taken across the table into gorgeous photo albums, rustic framed collages and nostalgic scrapbooks as gifts the following year.

"Such a cute gift. It is nice and light to carry around and the photos come out great," one raved.
"This instant camera has been so much fun to use," another added. "The pictures I have taken on this are good quality but I find them more flattering because they develop softer."
