6. Personalized Stone: Commission a stone with a special message or his name carved onto it. It could be a dedication stone with a meaningful quote or a miniature sculpture of something he loves. This personalized keepsake will serve as a reminder of his passion and make for a unique addition to his workspace.

7. Stone Carving Inspiration: Find a book or coffee table magazine that showcases renowned stone sculptures and artists from around the world. This will provide him with a source of inspiration and expose him to different styles and techniques.

8. Stone Carving Workstation: Create a dedicated stone carving workstation for your grandson in his studio or workspace. This could include a sturdy workbench, storage for his tools, and proper lighting to optimize his carving experience.

9. Sculpture Exhibition Tickets: Purchase tickets to a local or traveling sculpture exhibition where he can view masterpieces from renowned artists. This exposure to different styles and artistic expressions can spark new ideas and broaden his creative horizon.

10. Stone Carving Subscription Box: Consider subscribing him to a stone carving subscription box that delivers curated tools, materials, and inspiration directly to his doorstep. These boxes often include exclusive access to online tutorials, project ideas, and community forums, providing ongoing support and creativity.
