History Lover's Gift Guide

12:04:00

Fun history-related gifts are kind of hard to come by, most people think that its a category confined to books and 'the day you were born' newspaper excerpts. But there is so much more out there! Here are my five favourites from around the internet...




1. One Line A Day: A Five Year Memory Book, from £8.10 
I have one of these diaries myself and absolutely love it. Each page represents a day in the year, and has enough room for 5 years of memories. Its cool just to write down the small and eventful things you do each day, and even better to look back over it when you write about the same day for the second, third, fourth and fifth time!

2. English Heritage Guess Who? £24.99
This is a funny take on the original Guess Who, where the normal people are replaced with historical figures. Everybody loves playing games with friends, so surely you can't go wrong with this gift!

3. Castle Life Mug, £9.95
Everyone drinks some sort of hot drink, everyone needs mugs. For castle nerds (if that's even a thing), this mug is great! Its covered in cartoon cross-sections of a castle and the people who lived within them. For people who perhaps work in history, this would be a great conversation starter in any office.

4. Become a Scottish Lord or Lady Kit, £29.99
I genuinely thought this was a joke, but you can actually make yourself a Lord or Lady of a very small piece of land in Scotland. Yes its an expensive gift, and I'm not totally 100% convinced that it is legal in any way, but its a laugh.

5. Genealogy: Essential Researching Methods, £14.99
Pretty much anyone with a interest in history has some sort of interest in their family tree. This book goes through the methods of discovering and making your family tree, and preserving it for your family. Its easy to read, informative and will open the doors to a potentially lifelong hobby!

These were just five of the gifts I found whilst looking online. I simply searched 'history gifts' and so much came up! Have you guys received/given any gifts like this that you've really loved? Let me know in the comments below!
