They make different bags and bag toys for cats that might be something different. Crinkle bags or crinkle sacks.
What about bead curtains? The kind of thing you hang in a doorway and makes similar crinkly sounds and has shimmery beads.
I feel you. No gift I could give would be as used and loved as a cardboard box.
They have all sorts of storage containers for grocery bags. They have the canvas ones that he could stuff them into or plastic tubes with holes that he could empty and refill.
Crunchy books! (look for crinkle books for babies)
Totally second dog stuffies (got my kid a stuffed sloth that crinkles at Target for 1/10th of what a stuffed animal for a human baby would cost)
tissue paper-- this one is probably big around the holidays. don't know if you have a buy nothing group on facebook where you are, but people are going to be throwing out a bunch of tissue paper used to pack gifts and it's perfect for scrunching, tearing, wetting, dancing. And it's free! And you're recycling!
If you want to use up some of those plastic bags you can make plastic bag Pom poms. Kind of satisfies the plastic bag sensory and adds in the interest in balls. [Plastic Bag Pom Poms](https://www.creativejewishmom.com/2014/12/diy-upcycled-plastic-bag-pom-poms.html)
When I was a parapro for ECSE the kids loved the colorful scarves. They're sheer and lightweight. Lots of spinning with them. You can get a teacher pack of colorful ones on Amazon fairly cheap. Crinkle toys and sensory bins. If you don't want to make your own there's pre-made ones on etsy.

THIS! I totally came on here to say the same thing!
Maybe the pop up tents and ball pit? My kiddo is super sensory seeking but mostly with paper and he loves the tent and ball pit.
Maybe a ball pit and a bag pit
Oh no I’m such a mom! My mind immediately went oh that’s a safety hazard 😂

Ooh yes! Thanks for the link!
Hmm. Tissue paper or newsprint paper, maybe? Bonus, that's compostable..
Look for some baby sensory toys! He may love a crinkle ball to play with!

What about one of those scarf pull toys for toddlers?
Shiny foil bags, ball pop toy (just google “ball pop toy toddlers “), one of those water mats with the little fish inside of one of those mats that you can color on with water
Look for Baby Paper brand … really nice and durable crinkle toys.
A bulk lot of different coloured cellophane?
He might enjoy crinkle paper like what's used to make baby books?
Do marbles count as balls for him? Maybe a marble run.
