For beginning with balsa, this is a decent starter set
For basswood, this is the set the Gimli came from. The height isn't always consistent bag to bag, but they're close and cheap enough to not care too much.
For bigger basswood down the road, depending on where you are, consider this mix box from Rockler. I got 20 pieces of varying sizes, all good wood. Bigger stuff than what you'll get on Amazon.
