Look for a set that includes a variety of origami papers in different colors and patterns, along with an instruction book that provides step-by-step tutorials for creating different origami shapes and designs. This kit will allow your son to explore and expand his origami skills and encourage his creativity.

Look for a book that covers various themes like animals, flowers, or even origami architecture. This gift will not only provide your son with new origami techniques but also serve as a source of inspiration for his future projects.

3. Customized Origami Paper: Consider getting your son a pack of customized origami paper with his favorite colors, patterns, or even his name printed on each sheet. This personalized touch will make his origami projects even more special and add a unique touch to his creations.

4. Origami Workshop or Class: Explore local art schools, community centers, or even online platforms that offer origami workshops or classes. Enrolling your son in such a program will not only enhance his skills but also provide an opportunity to connect with other paper craft enthusiasts and learn different techniques from expert instructors.

This can include precision folding tools, rulers, bone folders, or even specialized origami scissors. These tools will make his paper folding process more precise and efficient, enhancing his overall origami experience.

6. Display frame or Shadow Box: Help your son showcase his favorite origami creations by gifting him a display frame or shadow box. This will allow him to proudly exhibit his artwork and add a touch of elegance to his room or workspace.

7. Subscription to an Origami Club or Magazine: Consider gifting your son a subscription to an origami club or magazine. This will provide him with a regular dose of origami inspiration, access to new patterns, and the opportunity to connect with other origami enthusiasts from around the world.
