Get the best body with the best metering and largest number of metering and focus points you can. Battery life is not normally an issue - my old 600D gives me 200 shots on a charge. Looking at the specs, the 250D is quite basic in terms of creative shooting and getting to things like IOS settings and exposure quickly. If you are wanting to get into serious photography, these are important.
Lens wise, the 18-55 might be a bit restrictive. A 2nd hand 18-135 might be a better starting point. A well loved 2nd hand one might cost you about £100, but it's well worth the money. You can always upgrade it for the next present 
Video wise, 1080p is normally fine unless you intend to crop the image during editing - or are looking to make 4K movies for a specific reason. TBH, you need the better EF full frame lenses to see the benefit of 4K, as the sharpness even with the smaller sensors is significant at 4K.
Never used the wifi / NFC options on any of my cameras. They always feel quite slow when simply whipping out the SD card and shoving it in the laptop will transfer the files in a few seconds. Using a phone as a remote is interesting though.
Weight in important, but the lens often weighs as much as the camera with longer, brighter lenses. a good strap and a reasonable tripod usually negates the weight in any case. |
