He leaves the day after tomorrow at about 5 AM so I have to buy/deliver it tomorrow.

He just graduated, is leaving, and I decided I ought to get him something.

Ideas? 50$ budget (about)

Camera? Film? Watch? Compass? Journal? Book? Map?

Pair of flip flops (reduces chance of athletes foot from dubious hostel showers).

Combination padlock

thin thermarest type thing - makes napping in trainstations etc much more comfortable.
Cash is always appreciated when you're about to travel.
