Does she surround herself with first edition books, 18th century art, or vintage music boxes? Maybe she has a passion for teapots, thimbles, or Elvis memorabilia. Adding to—or starting—a collection for someone who has or wants a collection could simplify gift giving for years to come. 

Arrange for attendance to a collectors' fair, convention, workshop, lecture, or museum.

Arrange and prepare for an appraisal of the recipient's collection.

Give a "treasure map" showing areas in which to find collectibles of interest. Have "X" mark the spot where the collector will find a treasure—a collectible you have purchased for her.

As a collection grows, give shadow boxes, curio cabinets, shelves, and cases for displaying the items.

Give a book or pricing guide about the type of item the recipient collects. History books for the period in which the collector is interested also make great gifts.

Arrange for a stay in New York City, London, Glasgow, or another city that hosts an auction for the type of antiques he collects, and pay for seats to the auction.
