Here are a few gift ideas for your friend who loves documentaries:

1. A subscription to a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu which has an extensive documentary selection.

2. A DVD box set of documentaries on a favorite topic or by a favorite filmmaker.

3. A documentary book, such as Citizenfour by Laura Poitras, which provides an in-depth look at the making of a film about Edward Snowden.

4. Tickets to a documentary film festival or screening.

5. A TV package that includes access to documentary channels such as National Geographic channels, Discovery Channel or History Channel.

6. A documentary themed merchandise like a poster or t-shirt based on their favorite documentary.
