4. Subscription to an Antique Restoration Magazine: Sign him up for a subscription to a reputable antique restoration magazine. This gift will provide him with a wealth of knowledge, tips, and inspiration from professionals in the field. He can stay updated on the latest techniques, get inspired by featured projects, and learn about noteworthy collectible items.

5. Antique Book on Restoration Techniques: Delve into the world of antique restoration by gifting him a well-regarded book on the subject. Choose a title that covers various aspects of restoration, such as cleaning, repairing, and preserving different types of antiques. Not only will this gift expand his knowledge, but it will also serve as a valuable reference for his future projects.

6. Vintage Restoration Project: Surprise him with a vintage item that is in need of restoration. This could be an old piece of furniture, a watch, or even a vintage radio. Consider his skill level and available time, and choose a project that will challenge and excite him. By giving him a hands-on restoration opportunity, you're not only providing a unique gift but also creating a memorable experience together.

7. Antique Collecting Guide: Find a comprehensive guidebook about antique collecting, which may include tips on identifying authentic pieces, evaluating their value, and navigating various markets. This will not only support his collecting journey but also offer him guidance and knowledge to make informed decisions when adding new items to his collection.
