If they need to be prepared for winter weather, give them these Yaktrax which can fit over the bottom of your shoes and make it easier to walk on snow and ice without looking like a wally! Get them for £15 at Cotswold Outdoor (check your nearest store or click and collect).
A friend has these JAM Portable Speakers and although they are slightly out of this price range, they are well worth a mention…the sound quality is incredible considering how small it is and it connects wirelessly from up to ten metres away using Bluetooth technology. It also has a built-in rechargeable battery lasting over four hours. A lot of bang for your buck at £27.99 (RRP £39.99) at House of Fraser.
