1. Art supplies: Fill a basket with high-quality paints, brushes, canvas, and any other essential supplies your grandpa needs to continue his artistic journey. Look for unique and vibrant colors that will inspire his abstract creations.

2. Art classes/workshops: Consider gifting him a voucher for an art class or a workshop focused on abstract techniques. This will not only provide him with guidance and new skills but also the opportunity to connect with other artists and art enthusiasts.

3. Custom art book: Compile a collection of his best abstract artworks in a beautifully designed and printed book. You can incorporate his artist statement, quotes, and stories behind each piece to add a personal touch. This gift will showcase his talent and become a treasured keepsake.

4. Art exhibition tickets: Surprise your grandpa with tickets to a renowned art exhibition or gallery opening showcasing abstract works. This experience will expose him to new artistic perspectives, ideas, and inspiration.

5. Art magazine subscription: A subscription to a reputable art magazine, specifically focused on abstract art, will keep your grandpa updated with the latest trends, techniques, and interviews with abstract artists. It's a gift that will keep on giving throughout the year.

6. Personalized artist apron: Have a custom apron made for your grandpa with his name or a special message embroidered on it. This stylish and practical gift will make him feel like a professional while he indulges in his artistic pursuits.

7. Art-themed home decor: Consider artwork for your grandpa's home that complements his artistic taste, such as abstract prints, sculptures, or decorative pieces. This will not only enhance the aesthetic of his space but also serve as a daily reminder of his love for abstract art.

8. Art critique session: Arrange for a professional art critic or curator to visit your grandpa's studio and provide constructive feedback on his work. This unique opportunity for critique and discussion will help him grow as an artist and open up new ideas for future projects.

9. Art-related travel experience: Surprise your grandpa with a trip to a destination known for its art scene. Research cities with renowned abstract art museums, galleries, and events. This gift will not only provide him with inspiration but also create lasting memories.

10. Encouraging letter: Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are heartfelt words. Write a sincere and supportive letter to your grandpa, expressing your admiration for his talent, his influence on your own creativity, and the impact his art has had on your life. This gift will undoubtedly touch his heart and remind him of the profound connection you share.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows thoughtfulness and considers your grandpa's passion for abstract art. Choose something that aligns with his artistic aspirations, enhances his creative journey, and ultimately expresses your love and appreciation.

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