For a son who loves upholstery and furniture restoration, you could consider a gift that will further nurture his passion and help him excel in his hobby. Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can explore:

1. Upholstery Toolkit: Invest in a high-quality upholstery toolkit that includes essential tools such as tack hammers, staple removers, webbing stretchers, and upholstery needles. This will enable him to take on more challenging projects and refine his skills.

2. Upholstery Workshop or Class: Enroll your son in an upholstery workshop or class where he can learn new techniques and gain hands-on experience from professionals. This will provide him with the opportunity to expand his knowledge and network with other enthusiasts.

3. Vintage Furniture Piece: Seek out a unique, vintage furniture piece that your son can restore. Look for something that aligns with his interests and is challenging enough to keep him engaged. This gift will allow him to practice his restoration skills while experiencing the joy of transforming something old into something beautiful and functional.

4. Books on Upholstery and Furniture Restoration: Gift him a collection of books on upholstery and furniture restoration. Choose titles that cover a wide range of topics, from beginner's guides to advanced techniques. These books can serve as a valuable resource and reference guide for his future projects.

5. Online Course Subscription: Subscribe him to an online course or platform that offers in-depth tutorials and step-by-step guides on upholstery and furniture restoration. This will give him the flexibility to learn at his own pace and access a wide range of educational content.

6. Donation to a Furniture Restoration Charity or Organization: Make a donation in your son's name to a charity or organization that focuses on furniture restoration or supports artisans in this field. This thoughtful gift will not only inspire him but also contribute to a cause he deeply cares about.

7. Customized Toolbag or Apron: Personalize a toolbag or apron with his name or initials and fill it with his favorite tools or supplies. This gift will not only be practical but also remind him of your support and encouragement in pursuing his passion.

Remember, the most meaningful gifts are those that show your thoughtfulness and understanding of your son's interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his love for upholstery and furniture restoration, you are not only supporting his hobby but also encouraging him to grow and excel in an area he is passionate about.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
