Gift card are a great choice, that way you don't end up buying a product the hobbyist doesn't want - we aquarium hobbyists are usually picky about what heaters, lights, or filters we want. But if you want to get something where you cannot go wrong, cleaning supplies are the ticket. The only issue here is that you do not want to purchase glass scrubbers or scrapers. This is because some aquariums are glass and others are acrylic, and the wrong product can damage the walls of the aquarium. Below is a list of products where you can't go wrong if you get for a hobbyist this Christmas season.

Python No Spill Clean 'n Fill

Possibly the greatest piece of equipment to have on hand, this siphon attaches to your home faucet and will vacuum your gravel, drain your aquarium, and refill your tank - no hauling buckets of water again.

Aqua Gloves

Aquarium Gloves are long and protect your arms from the aquarium water, and are especially helpful if you own a salt water tank - it will prevent your arms and hands from getting dry.

Glass Cleaner

Windex is not aquarium friendly! If you know an aquarium keeper who uses Windex be sure to get them some aquarium safe glass cleaner.
