If there’s one thing we’re collectively leaning into this silly season, it’s nostalgia—preferably dipped in rose gold. Enter Fujifilm’s latest Instax hybrid, the mini Evo: part digital camera, part retro Polaroid, and 100% the moment for your summer party circuit.

This chic little unit looks like it was designed by someone who spends equal time curating a colour-coded camera roll and aggressively scrapbooking. It’s compact, glossy, and basically begging to be the star of your next group shot. Also very handy if you're piecing together one of those... messier nights.

The magic here is in the hybrid setup. You get the freedom to preview, tweak, or toss your shots on a crisp digital screen (bless), then print only the ones where everyone’s eyes are open. And because it’s Instax, your pics pop out with that satisfying warm whirr before developing into dreamy, softly-lit summer memories. Think instant party favours but make it aesthetic.

It also syncs to your phone for easy sharing—so your festivities can hit the feed instantly without sacrificing the charm of a real-life print you can slap on the fridge, tuck into a card, or gift to someone you're low-key trying to impress.

If you’re gearing up for beach hangs, long lunches, backyard kick-ons, or the annual “just one drink” night that inevitably derails, this rose-gold Instax is the ultimate plus-one. It’s practical, it’s pretty, and it guarantees your silly season chaos looks effortlessly cute—even if you don’t.
