5. Customized Display Case or Storage: Help him showcase his antique collection with a customized display case or storage solution. Consider a wall-mounted display case with glass doors and adjustable shelves, or a cabinet specifically designed for protecting and organizing antiques. Customize it with his initials or a meaningful quote to add a personal touch.

6. Subscription to Antique Magazines or Online Communities: Keep him updated on the latest trends, discoveries, and restoration techniques by subscribing him to a magazine or online community dedicated to antiques.
