Gift membership
The National Trust offer gift memberships, perfect for anyone who enjoys a day out. This membership is excellent value, but they come with the knowledge that they won't be wasted. Even if your loved one does nothing with them, your money will go to help these wonderful charities preserve & protect some of the country's most stunning sights and spaces. English Heritage also offers some wonderful days out. You can find more gift membership ideas here

Books celebrating the past
Many people love museum goodies and the good news is that Museum Selection has a wide range of gift ideas on their site. For those who love and care for the countryside and England's past, there's a multitude to choose from - books that are that bit different to your average collection, really including nostalgia books, history books & gardening & nature books. I particularly like their travel & reference section, with old school books.

My Life Story Diary
What about giving them the opportunity to create their nostalgia and write down their own life story? Find Me a Gift have a 100 year diary, in which you can enter all the important dates and happenings in your life, and fill it with photos, postcards, tickets, your own thoughts & reflections, plans and successes, dreams and memories of happy days. There's even a map of the world for you to plot future travel plans and chart your own past voyages.
At this time of the year, when many people feel like a fresh start for the new year & use it as a chance to plan what they want to do in it, this could be a great way to get them focused on how they want their future life to look. Click here to to find out more about this gift, My Life Story Diary.

Book vouchers
Now these may at first sight seem rather dull; but as someone who has a history degree herself, there's nothing I love more than spending hours in a book shop, perusing the shelves, leafing through various editions, reflecting, discovering, musing & thinking, and generally getting lost in those things which interest me most. It's a great way to forget the routine & humdrum of life. You can get book vouchers from Amazon, and Blackwells have Gift Cards (they're more of an academic publisher), with a wide range of history books. If it's more historical romance you're after, try Mills & Boon.

Historical Drama
The UK does some things incredibly well when it comes to historical dramas for TV, and a major recent success has been Downton Abbey. Hopefully a new series will be on our screens very soon - Sunday nights just hasn't been the same since! For those who just love to indulge in such programmes, why not think about treating them to the series? Perfect for those nights when "there's nothing on the TV worth watching..."
Family History & Personal History
There's an opportunity to find out more about the family surname and do a little research into the family tree with a Discover Your Own Family History Gift Box, Archive Newspapers (what was in the news on the day you were born) .
