If you want an entertaining as well as an informative read, try Stalking The Wild Asparagus by Euell Gibbons. A bit less of a purely ID guide, and more about application of what you find, as well as personal accounts that are interesting to read.

Oh and I should mention this one too as it is a guide that is specific to coastal areas.

Tom Harrison map, Tenacious tape, wool hiking socks, leather man multi-tool.

You could go a diffent route that's a bit more personal you could make a personal backing meal or go with some sort of premade backpacking meal like mountain house (a bit on the heavier side) or astronaut ice cream (a bit better), perhaps a dehydrator like an Excalibur model if you want a big luxury gift.

Books; some picks for foraging, all that the rains promises and more , Stalking the wild asparagus, the foragers harvest ,
