Circuit bending for beginners

My boyfriend has been dropping major hints that he wants to get into circuit bending. I want to get him some sort of beginner kit for the holidays but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. What are the most important things he needs to get started? I was thinking about getting him a book and a soldering iron but I really don't know where to go from there. Any suggestions?

Nicolas Collins - Handmade Electronic Music

A bit more advanced than Reed's book, but infinitely useful for inspiration alone.
