For your friend who has a passion for fashion history and vintage fashion, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will surely bring a smile to their face. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Book on Fashion History: Consider gifting your friend a book that delves into the fascinating world of fashion history. Look for titles that cover the evolution of fashion trends, iconic designers, or fashion movements throughout the years. This will not only fuel their curiosity but also provide them with valuable knowledge.

2. Vintage Fashion Magazine: Vintage fashion magazines can be a treasure trove for fashion enthusiasts. Look for old issues of popular magazines from different eras that your friend can add to their collection. These magazines offer a glimpse into the fashion trends and styles prevalent during specific time periods.

3. Fashion Exhibit Tickets: Find out if there are any upcoming fashion exhibits or museum showcases in your friend's area that focus on fashion history or vintage fashion. Gifting them tickets to one of these exhibits will give them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of fashion and see firsthand the styles and designs that captivated earlier generations.

4. Vintage Clothing or Accessories: Allow your friend to own a piece of fashion history by gifting them a vintage clothing item or accessory. Look for iconic vintage pieces, such as a designer handbag or a statement piece of jewelry, that reflect their personal style and interests. Vintage stores, online marketplaces, or antique fairs can be great places to find unique and special pieces.

5. Fashion Documentaries: There are plenty of captivating fashion documentaries that explore the history and influence of fashion on culture and society. Look for well-researched documentaries that delve into specific eras, fashion designers, or influential fashion icons. DVDs or online streaming subscriptions can offer a range of options for you to choose from.

6. Vintage Fashion-inspired Artwork: Commission or find a piece of artwork that combines your friend's love for fashion history and vintage fashion. Look for prints, illustrations, or paintings that depict fashion icons, famous runway shows, or significant moments in fashion history. This gift will not only be visually appealing but also serve as a conversation starter.

7. Fashion Design Course or Workshop: If your friend has an interest in learning about fashion beyond history, consider gifting them a fashion design course or workshop. Many cities offer short-term courses or workshops that teach the basics of fashion design, pattern-making, or sewing. This hands-on experience will allow them to explore their creativity and gain practical knowledge.
