One female, one male
female-- very concientious, thoughtful, philosophical, Caring ( the type that would go work with kids as a volunteer)
Male--- goofy, political (was a poly sci major), interested in current events, politics, etc
for the male: The Virtues of War : A Novel of Alexander the Great (Hardcover) by Stephen Pressfield
In the light of the current world environment, your friend will enjoy reading this book. With similarities to Sun Tzu's "The Art of War, he goes right to the heart of the matter in Virtues: this book is Alexander the Great's Art of War. Where previous Pressfield novels detailed what the individual combatant was thinking and feeling, Virtues focuses on the leader, the man in charge of it all, logistics, material, tactics, strategy, morale and every other aspect of war and life.
For the female -- Art - like a painting or sculpture -- but the piece of art must "say something" about the two of you. Example: The two of you used to Hot Air Balloon together -- get a painting of hot air balloons.
