My son likes his Amazon Echo, Apple watch etc and we need to get a present for him to the above value. Any suggestions please? It could be something that works with one of those two devices.

You can get a reasonable drone for slightly more, with auto land, auto take off, follow me & return to home etc.


Or a phenomenally powerful torch!

Kindle / Kobo ebook reader if he likes to read. If he likes computer games maybe a steering wheel with pedals input for racing games or a joystick with throttle for flying/space games.

Raspberry Pi and a bunch of accessories (camera etc)? I believe you can make that play with Alexa.
