If they use their electronics a lot and are away from power a lot (travel, outdoor events, etc), I would choose a brand other than Halo. Halos are small and don't have a lot of power. They're good for an emergency, but not for events when you're outside all day and want to take pictures, record video, use social media, etc. I recommend an Anker or other charger with at least 10,000 mAh for people who want this for more than emergencies. If you just want someone to be able to make a phone call for help in an emergency, a small Halo would be enough.

The more power, the heavier the battery will be. I carry an 8400 mAh charger with me everywhere I go and it's about the size of a deck of cards and weighs a little more than a deck of cards. It charges my iPhone quickly and completely about 3 times. If I go to a big event, I might bring my larger 12,000 mAh charger, which is larger than my phone, quite a bit heavier than my phone, but gets me through about 5 full charges of my iPhone.
