Young people these days have very particular ideas, and even the best thought out gifts may be left behind when they go.
Having said that, I did put together a few travel items as suggested above, and sent them with DS2 as presents for DS3 and girlfriend when they all met up in California for Christmas..
Got a lovely thank you WhatsApp from both of them. The compact cutlery set was especially appreciated.
Your nephew is not backpacking, though, so will have other needs. If money is too abstract an idea, how about gift voucher for a good backpack or suitcase. This is something that benefits from being better quality which he may not be able to afford otherwise.
