Looks fine.. other kits have more and some have less. You may want to include a book or two:

The First-Time Homeowner's Survival Guide: A Crash Course in Dealing with Repairs, Renovations, Property Tax Issues, and Other Potential Disasters: Sid Davis: 9780814473726: Amazon.com: Books

How Your House Works: A Visual Guide to Understanding and Maintaining Your Home, Updated and Expanded: Charlie Wing: 9781118099407: Amazon.com: Books

100 Things Every Homeowner Must Know: How to Save Money, Solve Problems and Improve Your Home: Editors Of Family Handyman: 9781621452201: Amazon.com: Books

Ok would like a kit recommendation

There's plenty of kits out there. Eyeball brand, item count, and price. At the end of the day - if they get serious about it they'll start picking up their own tools so I wouldn't stress too much. Pair a kit with a book to help reduce the google-fu needs.

Buy a socket driver set with metric and standard, pack of mixed screwdrivers, and a hammer separately.

Well they need a container!

.. and a screw driver.. maybe an Allen wrench set too.

Oh, and pliers!

You don't need a container, they make actual tool boxes which are way better than those plastic clam shells and encourage people to get more tools.

That Stanley kit in the OP doesn't have much for useful tool. Most of the pieces are screw bits and Allen wrenches.
