I'd say a necktube

Is the giftee mechanically inclined, or do they have the spanner twirling ability of a poorly trained daffodil?
If they are of the grubby-fingernailed persuasion then I'd say a haynes manual would be good.

You won't get many tools for £20, I know bergen-man round here was selling rails of 3/8ths sockets for £15, but I'm not sure how good they are.

Don't go for the budget ranges of tools, it is seriously worse than nothing when a tool breaks mid-job.
