Birthday gift ideas for a new Troll Shaman

[Ashur]

So my brother has a birthday next month and I want to start saving pp and get him about 1000-1500pp worth of gear for his lowbie Troll Shaman. He has banded armor and a couple of +15 mana/ +15 hp bracers, one golden wedding ring and a-crap mace which needs an upgrade.

He duos with my Troll SK so what would you advice me to save for as far as weapon, shield, armor, jewelry upgrades that would give him a bit more melee power in those low levels while boosting raw hp and mana. Kinda looking for best bang for the buck type set-up. That is why he had a golden wedding ring instead of plat, will upgrade those later when money flows more readily.
