The study of history is not new.  Since ancient days, humans have always wondered what went on before they existed.  Students of history may enjoy researching the past in general, however, most have a specific time period that they are most interested. For instance, some may enjoy American or European history, some might focus on early Egyptian history or the history of twentieth century warfare.  It is these distinctions that one must know first before purchasing a gift.  Once you know what area of study they are interested in, the gift should match or have a theme from that particular time period or subject matter.
