5. Customized Felting Tools: Consider getting a set of personalized felting tools, such as needle holders or organizers, engraved with your grandson's name or a special message. This will not only be a practical gift but also a cherished keepsake.

6. Felting Workshops or Classes: Check if there are any local felting workshops or classes in your area that your grandson can attend. These hands-on experiences can provide him with the opportunity to learn from experienced artists, meet other enthusiasts, and grow his network within the fiber art community.

7. Display and Storage Options: Help your grandson showcase his creations by gifting him a display stand or a frame specifically designed for fiber art. Additionally, consider getting him storage solutions like craft organizers or bins to keep his felting supplies organized and easily accessible.

8. Personalized Inspiration Journal: Design a personalized inspiration journal for your grandson, filled with blank pages for sketches, notes, and written reflections. This will give him a designated space to record ideas, inspiration, and progress in his felting journey.
