The common one everyone buys......
The DJI Phantom lime.
I think the Phantom 4 is the current model. The Phantom 3 Advanced or Pro are about equal, they are probably still on sale but are being discontinued - still good machines.
The Phantom 3 Standard has a poorer controller and can't fly very far, and doesn't work with some 'fun' software. I think the 'Standard' might be a poor purchase because of the limits.
Any of the above need a fairly new smart phone or tablet to be the video screen for the controller.
The DJI Mavik is the cool new fun toy. It is more compact, and might be what you are looking for. I have no experience with them, but they seem to get good reviews for a new machine in the 'fun' category.
GoPro tried making a drone a year ago. It didn't work right. They have re released it now, updated. Most reviewers seem to think it is a year behind, and not a very good deal price/performance wise. The Karma I think? You need a GoPro camera to go with it, so it has less features, and costs the same if you need to buy a camera as well.
There are others out there, but they have less support, less parts, less people familiar with them.
I would look at a Mavik, and a Phantom 3 Advanced, and a Phantom 4. See what your price level is, and what features you think are good for him.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
