Ah, ‘tis the season for gift buying again! Some of us are experts, stalking that perfect gift for months and months, while others are buying a gift card last minute. It can be difficult to find a gift that the recipient has not already purchased for themselves. I have published multiple gift guides in the past- I specifically strive to include evergreen suggestions. (Meaning that they are not year or collection specific.) If you are looking for some history gift ideas, I have you covered!*
*There are no affiliate links in these guides- I will not make any money from any purchases!
Royal History Gift Guide
It should be no surprise that I’ve got a royal history gift guide. In addition to everything included here, I would also recommend Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III items. If you can still get Platinum Jubilee items, most royal watchers/history buffs will more than appreciate them. (And I can guarantee, once they are gone, they are gone…) More King Charles III items will become available as we come closer to the coronation, but any items that are available now may become collectors’ items.

Fashion History Gift Guide
Fashion history is only becoming more and more popular in mainstream culture, and you probably know several people who are interested. (I think that a push for accurate period drama costumes and the resulting Youtube videos of fashion historians critiquing them has only helped raise interest.) Like any topic, you will want to have a general idea of what area of fashion history the recipient is interested in. As long as you’ve got that, there are many options!

History Buff Gift Guide
This guide is perfect for the general history buffs/historians in your life. If you are purchasing any books or anything like that, I would include a gift receipt in the case of them already owning it. (I mean, I would do that with all gifts but especially here.) Most of my suggestions in this gift guide also have the benefit of supporting the community, as well.
