Maybe like, one of those mushroom things made into a fleece pillow or something? Or maybe since he likes 50s music, you can make something with vinyl records. I've seen some really cool vinyl record journal tutes around online, maybe if he likes to write or draw he'd like something like that. I'm not really sure what nine year olds like to do, haven't been around them since I was nine, lolz. Maybe you can get one of those like, model airplane kits or something and paint some mario themed stuff/whatever on it with acrylic paint, then he could have something to put together. Idk, that's the sort of thing I liked doing when I was nine. Hope you come up with something good!

Dunno how much time you have or if you can knit, though.

You could make him a jukebox pillow, or maybe a blanket that has the lyrics to his favorite 50s song on it... maybe even a 1950s style shirt.
