Some things I might have appreciated as a gift when starting out:

Thermarest back pad 3/4 length
Stove (MSR Whisperlite)
Headlamp (Black Diamond Storm is a very good one)
Cook kit (titanium for backpacking)

There is a lot of outdoor gear to choose from and we all know that as our experience camping grows, so do our personal choices in what to bring. But for a beginners I'd recommend good quality boots, a high quality sleeping bag and tent. All else, will come with a learning curb.
