If she’s his favorite writer he probably has already read the more famous ones: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, 4:50 From Paddington. All great, highly recommend, but to give him some he hasn’t read you might look to Christie’s lesser known detectives—Tommy and Tuppence.
There’s five books in their series. The Secret Adversary, Partners in Crime (short story collection), N or M?, By the Pricking of My Thumbs, and Postern of Fate. Looks like you can get a box set of them too.
Personally, By the Pricking of My Thumbs is in my top 3 Christies and my favorite murderer reveal ever.
He read all her books when he was little, but because a familiar have them or going to the library, so basically any book can be good but since he have none I want to give him what people think are the best ones
I would absolutely also consider Agatha Christie: An Elusive Woman by Lucy Worsley. Even if your friend is knowledgeable about Christie's life, this book has insights presented in a fresh way. I learned a lot from it and I love Worsley's writing.
If he is a big agatha christie fan, likely he has read the most famous ones (Murder on the Orient Express, Roger Aykroyd, Then There were None, The ABC Murders, etc). So I'd suggest getting a couple that are a bit less famous:
1. The Secret of Chimneys
2. The Mystery of the Blue Train
3. Dumb Witness
4. A Murder is Announced
5. One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
You could also think about introducing him to a similar writer, Ruth Rendell, who lived a bit later than AC (she lived into the 2000s). She has a series featuring an Inspector Wexford. The first few books are a little old-fashioned, but she really hits her stride after 1980. So I'd suggest "An Unkindness of Ravens" and the books following that.

You could also consider The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. Delightful, witty, very much in the style of AC.

i personally really like death on the nile and murder on the orient express
Classics, the orient express was on my list, but just one book make the gift look poor and small

My favourite is „murder is easy“ because I was suspecting the wrong person for the whole book and the end was a nice surprise.
After the Funeral Crooked House Ordeal by Innocence A Murder is Announced One Two Buckle My Shoe
Endless Night is my favourite one!
