A passing thought, a more long lasting present that would be entirely appropriate to learning nav would be (so long as you have at least one chart) a reasonable quality flight computer - which will last for years.
Setting aside that various people don't like them, many do, and you certainly need it for learning to fly.
As good a place as any to look is either
Transair or
Pooleys; personally, I like the Pooleys CRP-1W as being as good a tool as exists for light aircraft nav, although there are others - some significantly cheaper - that will be up to the job.
