Depends which staff, and from where....

i would recommend a flowstaff. from flowtoys.com

https://www.flowtoys.com/home.php?cat=10


the staff itself is made from polycarbonate tubing which is the most durable clear plastic there is. the lights themselves run off 1 triple A battery which can be rechargable. they have 12 different modes for a huge amount of possibilitys. on full power i guess you can get 8 hours or so. on one of the strobe modes you can get 12 hours.
flowtoys also has the BEST customer service ive ever experianced. my
flowchucks i got from them broke 6 months after i got them and they sent me another pair in a newer model + some more lights for no charge.
i dont have any experiances with any other staff so my view may be skewwed. but i assure you he will be one happy camper if this is under the tree.

As a downside to those, you will need to buy a number of flowlights as well. As an upside, they are interchangable.
