Instax Fujifilm Mini EVO Bundle

$339.99 | Amazon

Let me start by saying that I love a Polaroid camera; however, with the price of film these days, and the fact that nine times out of ten I end up with a series of blurry images, it isn't the most practical way to capture my special memories.

That was until I discovered the Instax Fujifilm Mini EVO, aka: a Polaroid that allows you to select which photos get printed. With this camera, you can snap your pics and then view them before deciding to print, which not only reduces film waste but leaves you with perfectly captured memories every time. Yay!
