How about treating your friend to a cooking class that specializes in local cuisine? They can learn new techniques and be able to recreate some of their favorite dishes right at home. Another idea would be to create a gift basket filled with local spices, sauces, and other ingredients that are popular in your area. You could also consider a gift card to a local restaurant that serves the cuisine your friend enjoys.
Or you can get her/him a star map with the date when she/he was born.
