Some popular catalogs include "Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalog" and "Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalogue."

3. Custom Stamp Album: Help your friend organize their stamp collection with a custom-made stamp album. Look for an album with acid-free archival pages to protect the stamps from damage. You can also find albums tailored specifically to vintage stamps or choose a more general album and help your friend customize it based on their preferences.
