Grandpa's old spoon kind of thing, I assume there's an ownership change, but I've never bought a trinket so I don't know what's required. I just know that it's over state lines.

I'll send him a few ideas, he's just being lazy asking for help instead of doing a 5 minute search on his phone

I did mention Walmart to him, I assumed they would have a FFL (doesn't "a FFL sound weird? Sounds like it should be "an FFL"...)
If he inherited it/it was gifted to him, ownership has already been transferred and he would simply be mailing it to himself. The smaller Fedex and UPS sites will probably give him some flak, but if he takes it to a hub they should get it all taken care of without a problem. He could also just check it when he flies back. Just needs to be in a case and locked, with a non-TSA lock.
A few details on taking with on a flight. Check the airlines sight, since many have tighter restrictions than TSA. You also need to legally possess the spoon at both ends. If a permit is required at the origin, I wouldn't do it.
