I will be creating my own (because I love projects like this) but I have also considered getting this book for when my players go somewhere I am not prepared for. :)

I actually purchased this at gencon and am planning on using it, plus I have my trusty brown grid mat.

I've started fooling around with the Red maps and Gimp. I'm just lost as to how big the cropped bits will print out.. wil they be in scale still etc etc. my photo editing skills are a bit lacking. hurm...
Just describing this mods, not advertising I promise.

(Just read on the page that it's not even available right now. And I can't really see the price either, pretty sure I paid about $50 - $60)
I bought this and I absolutely love it. Really only works for 5 or less people in terms of party size imo, but I honestly prefer using this over my big battle mat because I have to role up my big one.
You might be able to find something similar, but instead of getting terrain, I use this instead. Very handy.
As others have mentioned in this post, dice, sourcebooks, and dice trays are also all excellent ideas.
The only thing I might say is to stay away from mini's if he's on the cheaper side. Wouldn't really want to tempt him into buying a bunch of minis, because they can get extremely expensive.
If you do see the book of battle mats available, I highly recommend getting it.
