How about a book of folktales or myths from a particular culture she/he is interested in, or a subscription to a storytelling podcast that focuses on cultural tales? Another idea is a personalized journal where they can write their own stories or even a writing workshop on cultural storytelling. Consider also attending a cultural storytelling event or festival with your friend as a unique experience. Finally, a framed piece of artwork or a sculpture that represents a cultural story could also make for a great gift.
Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
