Best training aid out there is the Momentus, a must have. Ping bags are nice, Titleist ProV1 golf balls are the best of the best. Get a GC for a few rounds at a nice local course. Don't buy someone a club, that is a personal decision. A practice net or putting surface is a good present. Docker's makes pants specifically for golf. On the high end, a portable GPS is all the rage

Instead of training aids I'd recommend purchasing some lessons.
I'd also recommend going to a local store and trying a bunch of clubs, in the end it comes down to which clubs feel good to you.
As for spending dollars. It's worth spending money on a putter you like, it's the club you'll use most and it's an investment that will create more returns than the training aids pushed on the golf channel.
For a 3-wood consider the Callaway X-hot (i love mine)
Other clubs i use and love!:
* Irons: Mizuno MP60
* Driver: Mizuno MX 500 10.5 (as amateur do not go under 10 degrees wit your driver)
* Wedges Titleist Vokey Design 52 58-tour milled ( i think 60 degrees is too much for amateurs)
* Putter Scotty Cameron RED X (very easy to line up and nice swing balance)
If you want to save money buy last years driver e.g. callaway ERC would be a great club. You can buy this year's clubs coming spring for half their current price.
Have fun!

A Guide to Golf Training Aids
What could be simpler? You hit a little white ball and it goes in the hole. The pro players make golf look so easy. Golf is a cinch. If you buy that, you have never tried to swing a club at a tiny golf ball. Golf is a very difficult sport.
Most good golfers say that you should practice at least two years before being allowed on a golf course. Even the best golfers in the world have coaches who watch their every move. Since the average golfer cannot afford a coach, he must rely on the latest golf training aids.
There are a variety of golf training aids available to help you improve every aspect of your game. Many golfers at all skill levels find these aids helpful and use them often. Here are some of the most popular golf training aids that you can use, offered by a variety of manufacturers:
Swing Guides: Swing guides (like the popular Swingyde model) attach to the grip of your golf club and offer several benefits. By attaching a swing guide to your club, you'll be able to make sure that your hands and wrists are in the correct position and that your clubface is properly square. These guides work to prevent the common problem of overcocking the wrists in an attempt to gain a more powerful swing.
Stance Trainers: Stance trainers like the Power Stance model work to help you improve your standing position. Your stance is an important factor in the success of your game, and by improving stability and balance, you can thus improve your performance. These trainers are adjustable for adults, kids and teens.
Impact Balls: Impact balls are golf balls designed to help improve your swing, form and follow-through. Impact balls are oddly shaped, with curved indentions in each side, and are suitable for beginners and experts alike.
Wrist Braces: There are a variety of specially designed wrist braces you can use to align your wrist position. These braces can teach you proper wrist form, a challenge for golfers at all skill levels. After using these braces for an extended period of time, you will automatically know how to position your wrists when golfing.
Indoor Putting Greens: These portable putting greens allow you to work on your putting anywhere, any time. Indoor putting greens are not only popular gifts for golf lovers everywhere, they serve a practical purpose. It's a given that the more you practice your putting techniques, the better you'll become.
These are just a few of the various golf training aids on the market these days. There are many other tools you can purchase, including a wide range of instructional books, videos and DVDs created by golf masters. Even if you've been golfing for awhile, there's usually always room for improvement -- which is exactly what golf training aids can offer.

well i i use dunlop clubs and balls. i have a dunlop hat. nike shoes. i like under armor polos and black dress pants cause there thin. i have a dunlp glove. i would go to a gold pro shop and hold each club and find something that weight and length fit you best. you can only choose your clubs. far as anything i suggest driving range. dont try to kill it. find a spot out there and use your irons to hit it. i go to one with alot of greens and i practice hitting to the greens. i got better. a little advice to help would be . drive for show and put for doe. it works. good luck.

I have calloway clubs. Polo shirts work great. Khaki pants with a stretch wasteband. My bag is Nike.
Tons of decent club sets on EBay... it might be better than buying a newer cheaper set.
