7. Antique Decorative Items: Look for antique decorative items that align with your son's interests. This could include antique globes, vintage bookends, or unique objets d'art that can be displayed in his room or study.

8. Antiquing Trip: Plan a special antiquing trip with your son to a location known for its antique shops and markets. Spending quality time together while indulging in his passion will be a cherished experience.

9. Restoration Tools and Supplies: If your son enjoys the process of restoring antique items, consider gifting him a set of quality restoration tools and supplies. This will allow him to take care of his collection and explore his skills further.
