Artiphon Orba Synthesizer
$100 AT GUITARCENTER.COM
Another great one for a kid, or any on-the-go producer, this is a handheld synth with a built in looper. Eight sensing pads can switch between percussion, bass, chords, and lead. Move it around for different effects, and you can create an entire song in the palm of your hand. Then, link it via bluetooth or USB-C to preferred music making app.

But all you need to know: Give this to a music nerd, and from the jump they'll be toying with it for weeks, nonstop.
