7 Timeless Gifts For Kids

We know picking out gifts for kids can get tricky when spanning the centuries. The moms and dads here at Samson Historical put together a list of some of our kiddos favorite items!

1) Children's Powder Horn - Even the smallest of patriots need a good powder horn to look the part! This child size powder horn is made from real cow horn and comes with a wooden plug. $18 before sale

2) Quill Writing Set - A fantastic gift for the young adolescent, this quill writing set comes with two quill pens and ink. We have found much of our younger audience enjoys writing and drawing in true 18th Century Fashion! $62 before sale

3) Buckle Shoes - This is the gift that keeps on giving! Every child needs a good pair of buckle shoes for camp, but we know how costly their ever growing shoe sizes can be. This is why we have developed a special program for returning and replacing children's shoes. Details are available here. $85 before sale

4) Books - Our family loves to give and receive books over the holidays. The day after Christmas is spent on the couch with leftovers and a new book. Give me Liberty is a beautiful book for elementary age kids that includes many original paintings.  1789 is a young adult book written by 12 different authors exploring well known, and less known players in the year 1789. Ranging $22.99 - $24.95 before sale

5) Wooden Drum - We know how it sounds, but this wooden drum with an animal skin top is incredibly durable and not near as loud as the modern counterparts. We gave this to some of our smaller historians and it has lasted years! $45 before sale

6) Miniature Tea Set - There is nothing as classic as little kids sitting down to a tea party armed with imagination. These porcelain transfer-ware sets look dainty in blue or red, but they are very tough, in addition to being the perfect size for small hands. $55 before sale

7) A New Waistcoat or Gown - Now is the time to adorn your child's camp clothes at the very best price! Our children's clothing line is brand new this year, thus on sale for the very first time this Cyber Monday! Receive up to 25% off on any of our children's clothing, carefully crafted by our seamstresses for true authenticity. $55-$110 before sale.
