I second the motion. Telushkin's Jewish Literacy and a JPS Hebrew-English Tanakh were the two books we gave every student in the Morris Goodblatt Academy, the Philadelphia RA's course for adults considering conversion.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Graduation Gift Ideas
Telushkin's Jewish Literacy is superb - it covers all the bases articulately and authoritively. It is well laid out, so that you can read a single entry or an entire section, and I have dipped into it frequently - for reference or interest. I am now using it to make sure my about-to-be barmitzvah son has the beginnings of knowledge about the most important aspects of Judaism.
