Picking up random I "got started" when I received a Radio Shack 100 in 1 (or 101, or 120) Electronics Project Kit. Its not called exactly that, but the RS guys will know what you're talking about. Its a prototyping box with various components, and a book of projects. They vary from a radio transmitter to a LED display driver, etc. Fun stuff. And, you can easily modify the projects or build your own.
