2. Specialty Yarns: Expand his palette with a selection of high-quality specialty yarns. Consider natural fibers such as wool, silk, or cotton, as they will add texture and enhance the overall look of his rugs. Look for unique and vibrant color options that will inspire his creativity.

3. Weaving Books: Help him further develop his skills and knowledge with books on rug weaving. Look for titles that cover various techniques, patterns, and design inspirations. This way, he can learn new concepts and find inspiration for his future projects.

4. Online Weaving Course: Consider gifting him an online weaving course or subscription to a platform that offers weaving tutorials. This will allow him to learn from experienced weavers, explore advanced techniques, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals.

5. Professional Weaving Tools: Upgrade his weaving tools by investing in high-quality and professional-grade equipment. Look for sturdy weaving shuttles, durable weaving needles, and a comfortable weaving bench or seat that will provide him with ergonomic support during long weaving sessions.

6. Customized Rug Labels: Add a personal touch to his finished rugs by gifting him customized rug labels. These labels can be personalized with his name, the date of completion, and any special message you'd like to include. It will add a professional touch to his creations and make him feel proud of his work.

7. Membership to a Weaving Association: Consider getting him a membership to a weaving association or guild in your area. This will provide him with access to workshops, exhibitions, networking opportunities, and resources that can further fuel his passion for rug weaving.
