I thought this was a cool idea, especially for all the parents out there.  I know we always had trouble getting our monkey to smile and look at the camera.  It’s called Shutter Huggers.  It does exactly what you think it would do… its a ringed plush that goes over your lens and basically stays there.  So when you are ready to take your pictures of your little ones, its right there ready to help you get the best picture.  They are planning on releasing a smartphone version as well.
