1. Bread Making Cookbook: Surprise your son with a high-quality bread making cookbook that features unique and challenging recipes. Look for a cookbook that explores different types of bread from around the world or focuses on a specific baking technique he is interested in learning.

2. Bread Baking Kit: Put together a bread baking kit for your son, which includes essential tools and ingredients. Include items like a good quality bread loaf pan, a bread lame for scoring dough, a proofing basket, a dough scraper, and some specialty ingredients such as different types of flour or grains to experiment with.

3. Bread Making Course or Class: Enroll your son in a bread making course or class, either in-person or online. This will provide him with hands-on learning experiences and the opportunity to expand his knowledge and skills in bread making. Look for classes that cover different baking techniques or specialized types of bread.

4. Bread Making Subscription Box: Consider gifting your son a subscription box focused on bread making. These boxes often include unique ingredients, tools, and recipes to try out each month. It will give him the excitement of receiving a new package regularly and discovering new bread baking possibilities.

5. Bread Making Workshop or Experience: Look for local bread making workshops or experiences that your son can attend or participate in. These workshops might be held by professional bakers or at specialized bread making facilities. This hands-on experience will allow him to learn new skills and techniques from experts in the field.

6. Bread Baking Bread Book: If your son enjoys reading about bread making, consider finding a bread-themed book that blends recipes with stories, tips, and techniques. There are various books available that delve into the history of bread, offer guides to mastering the craft, or focus on regional bread recipes.

7. Specialty Bread Ingredients Sampler: Search for a collection of rare or artisanal bread ingredients and package them as a sampler set. Look for unique flours, grains, or seeds that are not commonly found in regular grocery stores. This will allow your son to experiment and create unique and interesting bread recipes.

Remember, the key is to personalize the gift to match your son's interests and passion for bread making. By choosing a thoughtful and meaningful gift, you can inspire him to continue exploring his passion and potentially further develop his skills in this delightful culinary art.
