Another thing that i suggest is to look at including some of the publications that are offered as a stocking stuffer. Maybe a magazine (Model Railroader (MR) is a very good one for beginners) or a book about scenery. It is one thing to give someone a single train or set and leave him or her to a simple oval on the floor, however it helps to spark the interest when they can see through pictures what can be achieved in this hobby even with little or no previous art or modeling skills (I am talking from first hand experience). I was always interested in trains, but when my parents got me my first subscription to MR when i was 14, my passion for the hobby took off. The nice thing about being "attached" to a RR geek is that gifts are NEVER a problem. You can always get them train cars. Even if they already have the car you got them, trains always have more than one of the same car. Good luck!!!!
