I recently won second-place in a small photo contest and received a $25 gift certificate to B&H photo. I'm just wondering what item(s) you guys would suggest purchasing using a $25 gift card?
Considering I don't really need anything from B&H at the moment, I thought I'd see what cool things people suggest to do with the gift card. Your suggestions don't necessarily have to be under $25....but I'd rather not spend more than $30 or so in addition to the gift card.
I may or may not use one of your suggestions...hell, I may find something in the next 15 minutes and purchase it impulsively....but I wanted to see what other people would do with it.

I bought the lens hood when I bought the lens (from Adorama). I even sprang for the actual Canon one (when I usually buy a 3rd party one).

A new memory card is certainly a good suggestion...

Congratulations on the win!
I bought a Kata camera strap there recently and I love it - it was $20. They've got a whole section of straps and hand grips from Lowepro, Opteka, etc. Might be something you'd appreciate...

I've already been looking at batteries and memory cards. Straps will be later tonight. :-)
Yeah, congrats on the winning!
