iOS app development for a 15 year old - Christmas Gift Ideas

[+Biscuits Brown MVC]

I have a 15 year old nephew that is interested in iOS app development and I've been tasked with trying to figure out an appropriate Christmas gift to help him in those interests. I'm not an Apple person so its time to lean on the group here for help.  I know the budget is about $100. I am trying to confirm if he has access to a Mac (figure this will be needed at some point for x-code). I'd think books, Apple resources etc. are on the list. 

 

Thanks
