Is it too early to talk about Christmas gifts? I don’t think so! Maybe you’re a first-time GoPro’er or you’re looking for a GoPro gift idea for someone in your life. Either way, let’s talk about the top 5 gifts for the first-time GoPro user in your life!

The Best GoPro Gift Idea for Newbies
1. Hand Grip or Handle for GoPro
For the first GoPro gift idea, I’d recommend a handle for the GoPro. Not a telescoping thing like a selfie stick, but a regular old handy handgrip, like this:
- Bobber – Floating Hand Grip for GoPro® HERO Cameras
- Floating GoPro® Grip Stick Pole Bobber – Ho Stevie
- GoPro The Handler – Floating Handler
2. Memory Cards
You’re definitely going to need a really good memory card! This is important because you HAVE to get the right kind for GoPros.
3. Extra Batteries
Another useful GoPro gift ideas are GoPro batteries, but they never last as long as you hope that they will. Extra batteries and a charger are always a good idea with GoPros. They’re not super pricey so it’s worth it to have at least two.
- Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and New Charger for GoPro HD HERO3+, HERO3
- Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Dual Charger for GoPro HERO4 (with Car and World Plugs)
4. Mounts
Think about the person you’re buying for, and what hobbies and activities they will be doing with their GoPro, and get them a GoPro mount for that activity! You can get a suction cup mount, the jaws clip, or really, any kind of GoPro Mount!
5. Body Mounts
So if you’re not sure what your gift receiver will be doing with their GoPro, body mounts are always a versatile and GoPro gift idea as an option. I’ve got the head strap mount and use it often!
