Birthday gifts – photography & travel related

My BF birthday is coming up soon and it’ll be the first time we celebrate it together.

He loves traveling and photography, and he just came back from a month-long backpacking trip overseas. Unfortunately he broke his camera lens during the last few days of the trip.

At first I thought about getting him a new lens, but he specifically told me not to get him anything expensive (we’re both uni students). And tbh I know nothing about cameras so I’m scared of buying the wrong thing.

Do you think a camera-related gift is still a good idea? Or maybe something travel or photography-related stuffs would be better?

If you have any gift ideas, or know any good stores in Tokyo where I could find something cool, I’d really appreciate it 🙂
