Colt .45 ... probably the best point & shoot there is.
Argos are selling the Panasonic TZ35 for £99.00. I know its a older model but I have found the TZ good cameras in the past, the TZ5 being my favourite, one of the last metal bodied ones. The XF1 are excellent cameras but maybe a little quirky for your brother depending on age and lacks the zoom of the TZ, but will win in the IQ department. My wife loves here XF.

My canon s95 in the classifieds!
There is a load of choice out there and would say that most at that price new are much of a muchness. Going used would help get something with better zoom or raw for example, if those are important to you.
Please can you paste the link of your sale?
Congrats, nice one for travel camera!
You can shoot RAW files with Canon SX240HS, just type "CHDK SX240" in Google. I had experience with SX270HS, very nice results from RAW.
