Every year before Christmas, we are getting the same kind of questions from our customers: My husband (brother, dad, son, friend) loves medieval battles or history. And every year I wonder what to buy them for Christmas...

If you want to get them something they will enjoy, we have a few tips for you. You don’t even have to be a fan of history yourself. We will help you find the right gift!

The manufacturers of these statuettes tried to capture authentic clothes and designs typical for the given era. These little gems will bring a touch of middle ages to every room!

6. Historical jewellery

Jewellery has never stopped being popular, and it has been used since the oldest times. At first, jewels were not just decorations. They also protected the wearer from various disasters and attracted the favour of gods.

Even today, we wear some pieces of jewellery not because they are beautiful, but simply because they have an emotional value to us. Do you know someone who might appreciate this token of affection?

Get them a bracelet, an elegant necklace or ring, or beads that will fine-tune their historical or modern outfit.
