The best gift I've given recently is a ~$10 hand-held 100x microscope. Super durable and tiny and fun to play with. Good for all ages. I think it was this one: https://www.amazon.com/Carson-60X-100X-MicroMax-Microscope-M... The main downside over a 'real' microscope is that it's not back-lit and can't really be used with slides, which means you can't really look at microbes. But there's still a ton of things you can examine at that zoom level, like the fibers in your clothing, that you otherwise totally miss.
