I'm blanking out!

My oldest son is turning 20. He's super yeshivish and doesn't have any hobbies other than learning and teaching Torah.

Other than seforim, what can I buy him for his birthday?

If you have brothers/sons in this demographic, would you ask them for ideas, please?

Maybe a different shtender. My ds had a table one, but it turns out he could use a raised table one for when he stood (the one you can keep things inside.)

Also, a personalized sefarim stamp, if he doesn't have one.

Dh recently got him a book on how to write chidushei torah, which can help build some writing skills too:
https://www.feldheim.com/the-r......html
Possibly along with something like this: https://www.feldheim.com/chidd.....html, or even a nice blank writing book.
This can lend a nice chashivus to the age of 20, which is a big deal for maturity and learning in halachah.

You can also offer to get him a new hat, if he could use one.

Bluetooth headphones? I'm guessing he listens to music or shiurim sometimes.

A digital recorder that he can use to record shiur and review it. A personalized stamp to put his name inside his seforim. A menorah. A leather siddur. A nice tefillin bag.

I was also going to say a digital recorder. I have a son about the same age who sounds very similar to your son. He recently asked me for a digital recorder, he uses it to record shiur and review it, his also works as an mp3 player so he can download shiurim from Torahanytime.com. He hardly even has any music on it.

A book light so he can read/learn in the dark.

I really like the MP3 idea and the book stamp idea.

Is there a set of sefarim he wants?

Along the lines of a seforim stamp, there are personalized book labels and a personalized book embosser.
