(More customer reviews)Part of the point to Arduino (at least in my humble opinion) is how cheap it is, so it might be a bit hard to cough up the additional money for this full kit; however, if you want everything you need to get up to speed fast, this kit is great.
I am fairly technical and have done electronic projects in the past and now I'd like to integrate a micro-controller into some projects so I want to learn, quickly, how they work so I can move on to actually implementing a project I need.
I found this kit had everything I needed to learn the basics. I had my first 'sketch' up and running in 30 minutes from opening the box. If only everything were so easy.

The SparkFun Inventor's Kit for Arduino is a box of goodies to get the very beginner started with programmable electronics. It includes all the bits you need to build 12 basic circuits, no soldering required! On top of that, Sparkfun have joined forces with Oomlout to offer a small booklet to get you started. The SIK comes with everything pictured and a 36 page color printed 'starter' guide. The guide will take a complete novice and get them:Blinking LEDsControlling a toy motorControlling a servoMaking (bad) musicResponding to buttonsTwisting a volume knobDetecting ambient lightReading temperatureControlling big devicesMixing LED colorsWe believe these to be the building blocks of any electronics project. Once these concepts are mastered, very impressive projects are possible using simple recombinations.Kit includes:Arduino Uno USBArduino and breadboard holderPrinted 36-page Oomlout manual12 color circuit overlaysClear Bread Board74HC595 Shift Register2N2222 Transistors1N4148 DiodesDC Motor with wiresSmall Servo5V RelayTMP36 Temp SensorFlex sensorSoftpot6' USB CableJumper WiresPhotocellTri-color LEDRed and Green LEDs10K TrimpotPiezo BuzzerBig 12mm Buttons330 and 10K ResistorsMale HeadersNo soldering required.
