I was recommended the Liberation Trilogy books by Rick Atkinson and thought they’d make a great gift for the WWII buff.
Are there any other history related gifts the community would like to recommend?

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that are experiences, as much as books are fun to receive, it helps illuminate a chapter in history to see the key sights and experience it for yourself.
Last year, I booked a tour of Gettysburg with a favorite podcast host and gave it as a gift to all the guys in my family. (I got to go as well, which made it a gift to myself as well, I suppose.) I made a certificate and put it in a leather map case with a ration of sardines (chocolate) and coffee and a letter from General Meade requesting them to march to Gettysburg. It was pretty fun.

Antique weapons are a really cool gift. I would love, for example, to own a real weapon used during the Revolutionary War. Even better would be if I could know who it belonged to, i.e. an officer’s sword
