The ~$25 dry bag that keeps everything dry on the water. Roll the top and your phone, wallet, keys, or paper maps, stay bone dry, whether it's a canoe trip or a day on the boat.
If you're around water at all, a waterproof dry bag is one of those cheap things you end up using constantly. I've used the Earth Pak roll-top for keeping my phone, wallet, and keys safe on the boat, and it's kept everything dry without any issues, same story when I got tired of paper maps getting wrecked and just started tossing them in the bag.
It's around $20-25, so it's an easy add-on gift, pair it with a headlamp and you're at about $40 for two things someone will actually use but probably wouldn't buy themselves. The roll-top is the whole trick: fold it down a few times and clip it.
Yes, if you roll the top down a few times and clip it. That seal is what keeps water out.
A 10-20L covers phone/wallet/keys and essentials; size up to 30L+ for clothes or gear.
