That's a great theme to work with! Here are a few ideas for ethnographic-themed gifts for your mother's birthday:
1) Books on ethnographic studies: There are many great books on various ethnographic studies available that could be of interest to your mother. Find out her favorite author and books in the genre or research some top-rated books and choose the best ones.
2) Ethnic art: Ethnographic studies can be a visual delight. You could gift her an ethnic painting, sculpture, or any art piece that she would love to have in her home or workplace.
3) Cultural travel: If traveling is an option for your mother, consider planning a trip to a destination where she can immerse herself in the culture and experience firsthand what she has been reading about in books. Consider international cities like Paris or Tokyo where ethnographic museums abound.
4) Artifacts or cultural items: You could consider purchasing artifacts that are ethnographic in nature, such as a traditional woven basket or a set of Native American pottery. You could even make a basket or pot at pottery classes specifically targeted towards these interests.
5) Documentary movie collection: Another option is to collect various ethnographic documentary DVDs or give her access to a streaming service subscription where she can watch films in her free time.
Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
