Five Star Gift Ideas

One idea could be to give your boyfriend a book or two that focuses on ethnographic studies. Here are some popular options you could consider:

1. "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" by Anne Fadiman: This book tells the story of a young Hmong girl and her family navigating the healthcare system in America. It offers a unique and personal look at cultural conflicts and misunderstandings.

2. "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan: While not solely focused on ethnography, this book explores the cultural and societal influences on food and our diets. Your boyfriend may appreciate the perspective on how cultural practices and values intersect with our daily lives.

3. "The Nuer: A Description of the Modes of Livelihood and Political Institutions of a Nilotic People" by E.E. Evans-Pritchard: This classic ethnography provides a detailed account of the Nuer people in Sudan in the early 20th century. Your boyfriend may appreciate the depth of research and analysis in this text.

Additionally, you could consider purchasing some ethnographic artwork or decorative pieces for your boyfriend's home. Depending on his taste, this could include textiles, pottery, masks, or other cultural artifacts. You could also look into purchasing tickets for a local cultural event, such as a traditional dance performance or a festival celebrating a specific culture.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
