Five Star Gift Ideas

For your friend who loves historical documentaries, there are a variety of gift ideas that will capture their interest and appreciation. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Subscription to a History Magazine: There are several history magazines available that cover a range of topics, from politics to war to culture. Consider gifting your friend a subscription to a magazine like Smithsonian, National Geographic History or History Today to keep them up to date on the latest historical research.

2. Biographies of Famous Leaders: If your friend is interested in specific periods or historical figures, consider purchasing a biography or autobiography of a leader they admire. For example, a political historian may enjoy the book "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" by Edmund Morris or "The Iron Lady" by John Campbell.

3. Documentary DVDs: While many documentaries are available to stream online today, consider gifting your friend a physical DVD set of their favorite series, like Ken Burns' "The Civil War" or "World War II in Colour." This way, they can own the documentaries and re-watch them anytime they like.

4. Historical Tour: Another great gift idea for your friend would be a private guided tour of a local historical site or museum. Check out national parks or historical societies in their area to find out about guided tours or lectures. This could be a great way for your friend to get a more in-depth understanding of historical periods and events that they're interested in.

5. Historical Novels: Many people interested in history also enjoy reading historical fiction. Gift your friend a novel or historical fiction series that covers a topic they are interested in. For example, if your friend is fascinated with Tudor history, they may enjoy reading "Wolf Hall" by Hilary Mantel.

Overall, there are many great gift ideas for someone who loves historical documentaries. Whether it's a subscription to a history magazine, a DVD of a favorite series or a guided tour of a historical site, the best gift is one that captures their specific interests in history.
