Echo Show 8, $79.99, available at Amazon
Amazon makes a number of different Echo Show smart displays, from the $59.99 miniature Echo Show 5 to the full-sized, booming, $229.99 Echo Show 2nd-Gen. For gifting, I think the $79.99 Echo Show 8 is the best combination of price and quality. It sports most of the features of the larger Echo Show, including a bright 8-inch screen, a webcam, and (of course) built-in Amazon Alexa. You can use the touchscreen to watch videos, browse the internet, and control your smart-home devices, and can also use the camera to video chat.
