Looking for an electronics kit for a Christmas gift for my dad. Any stores in Victoria selling them? My dad mentioned he'd like an arduino kit, or something electronics-y or such. The only things I can find are little science kits for children. Are there any stores in town that would sell something good in this vein for Christmas? Thanks in advance!

You are better off ordering online. I bought this kit last year: http://www.suntekstore.ca/item-10019959-microcontroller_development_type-c_experiment_kit_for_arduino_-_blue.html An Arduino compatible micro controller all by itself has little play value. This kit has a lot of shields, sensors, and I/O devices for thousands of applications. Includes everything needed to step through the tutorials at https://www.arduino.cc/ All it lacks is a 5VDC wall wart so you don't eat batteries.
