The thing I used every day when travelling was a nice penknife my sister got me. And there would be a lot of change out of £70 which they would probably appreciate more in beer tokens when their money runs out
well they are in south america first for six months, they have a apartment for a while....the reason for the oakleys is to give Proper protection for his eyes, unlike a £1 pair from thailand.
as for tools etc, they are ok, just looking for a nice gift, something he can use when travelling
