The following topic has generated quite a bit of ambivalence. We want to put it on the gift table anyways. The Visual Circuit Simulator by @austin_malerba sounds like a great idea. Take a 3D engine for the browser, add standard electronic and microelectronic components, breadboards, cables and power source, and you end up with something like LogiSim for visual learners.

The software's capabilities can not replace other design-, simulation- and fabrication-tools. But the thing is quite fun, at least as long ... as long as it is fun.

Decide for yourself.
