All-original DIY electronics kits
Adafruit Industries is a small company that sells kits and parts for original, open source hardware electronics projects featured on www.ladyada.net as well as other cool open source tronix that I think are interesting and well-made.
All the projects are redesigned specifically to make it easy for beginners to make: nicely silkscreened circuit boards, through-hole parts whenever possible, extra large solder pads, etc. For some kits, you can purchase just the circuit board. To save paper, the easy-to-follow-with-lotsa-pictures instructions are all available online, at http://www.ladyada.net/make
