How about gifting him a subscription to a documentary streaming service like CuriosityStream, which offers a vast array of documentaries ranging from science to history, nature to technology? Another idea could be a book on the art of documentary filmmaking or a collection of DVDs of classic or critically acclaimed documentaries. You could also surprise him with tickets to a film festival that showcases documentary films or add to his collection by gifting him a specific documentary that he has been wanting to watch.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
