A great gift idea for your friend who loves ethnographic studies could be a coffee table book that showcases beautiful photographs and stories about cultures from around the world. Here are a few specific book recommendations:
1. "African Twilight: The Vanishing Rituals and Ceremonies of the African Continent" by Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher
2. "Nomads: Footprints in the Sands of Time" by Jheni Osman
3. "Vanishing Rituals: Ancient Traditions in Modern Times" by Hans Kemp
Another gift idea could be an artisanal item or piece of art that is made by a traditional or indigenous culture. You may be able to find something unique and beautiful online, such as a handmade textile or sculpture, or at a local fair trade market or shop.
Finally, if your friend enjoys hands-on experiences, consider gifting them a cultural workshop or class. Many cities offer classes on traditional cooking, dance, or crafts from different cultures. You could also look for an immersive travel experience that will allow your friend to learn more about ethnographic studies firsthand.
