Any history buffs out there?

Hi, I have a secret santa to buy for! Said person is a history teacher, I don’t know her too well, so any ideas around this subject would be great!

What’s your budget?

What period of history is she interested in? Anything from history is pretty much everything, ever.

Something from British museum shop?

Maybe she's 'historied out'? Perhaps something different?

Or National Archives shop?

Nah us history buffs don't get historied out!

Something for the women's suffrage centenary? There's all sorts of lovely stuff out there.

Always some nice things here:

The Pat Barker book- The Silence of Girls - might appeal if she likes fiction and history woven together. Barker does it so well, and is highly regarded.

Or a month's subscription to the utterly addictive British Newspaper Archive? They do gift subs. I have investigated this in detail.

Don't get a book as she might already have it and you don't know what period she's into. A nice heritage style mug or pen would be lovely. I also love a good historical tea towel but that could just be me...

How about a t shirt?

There’s one that says something like...

English teachers are important, but historians are importanter.

Which made me laugh.

The British Newspaper Archive subscription is a great idea - I would be in heaven. But might depend if she wants a 'busman's holiday' type present or not...

What job do you do? And would you want a related gift?

A mug with kings and queens on it, a ruler with rulers on.
I'd love anything from here: www.historicroyalpalaces.com go to the shop section. The Henry viii Xmas tree decoration is 12.99 but awesome. What's the budget?

Or Google sufragettes tea towels.

I’m a teacher too green and yes I love my subject so would been happy to recieve something related.

Her expertise are in Ancient history. As I say, I don’t know her all too well. She’s a young history teacher, who I work with

Thanks kinder for the website suggestion, and again above to the museum suggestion x

A quick google of "Aristotle mug" brings up potential gifts. I bet Plato would as well.

But of course she may not be a fan.

Whets the budget? If it’s around £10, then English Monarchs mug?

Yeah, £10. Sorry forgot to mention.

Thank you!

The mug is perfect!

That’s what I’ve been led to believe soiree

How about timeline the game? You can get it from amazon. Not sure how much it is but it's great!
