Holiday gift

I'm looking into greeting someone a camera. They are very interested in taking photography beyond just being a hobby.

What would you recommend I look at?

Very kind and admirable of you! A few questions:

• What camera(s) does this person already have? or have used?
• How much photography/camera experience does he/she have? 
• What's your budget?
