Gifts for Friends

But a surprise, that educates and inspires—that leads down the pathways of history—is more special. Imagine opening a gift, not only surprising but full of insight and inspiration; delving into history, breathing new life into the past, and in interesting ways that give insight into this or that happening long gone. History by Mail offers handcrafted history subscriptions that transform the whole process of giving into a time travel adventure.

The Gift of Historical Discovery

History has an art for grasping people's hearts once the telling has depth and creativity in its approach. For friends or acquaintances who like to think about history or people generally curious about the past, unique subscription services offer just as much as a thoughtful and well-designed individual take in exploring key moments of this planet.

Each month, subscribers receive replicas of historical documents, recreated with care to transport them back to pivotal events. These are not summaries or textbook excerpts; they are authentic windows into the past. From letters penned by presidents to forgotten patents, these documents tell a story that engages the recipient in a tactile and immersive way.

Why History Subscriptions Make the Perfect Gift

Uniqueness That Stands Out

Unlike other gifts, our history subscription is interactive and thought-provoking. Each document is accompanied by contextual notes that help recipients delve into the significance of each item. This makes it a gift that continually delights, month after month.

A Connection to the Past

Giving the gift of history fosters a sense of connection—not only to the events and figures of yesteryear but also between the giver and receiver. It’s a way of saying, “I thought about what you’d truly enjoy and learn from,” which is a rare sentiment in the fast-paced world of gift-giving.

An Educational Journey

Whether your friend is a history buff or just someone looking to explore new interests, these subscriptions offer valuable learning experiences. Content is engaging, accessible, and rich in detail, so it's fun for people of all backgrounds.

Subscriptions That Bring History to Life

We at History by Mail pride ourselves on offering subscriptions to a wide variety of packages that cater to different historical interests. All these are there to make the subscriptions enriching, with well-thought-out themes that spark curiosity and conversation.

Historical Documents Subscription

This flagship option contains replicas of original documents across various subjects, such as politics, science, and many others. With each delivery, there are moments and decisions that shape history, thereby making the story quite fascinating as it unfolds with time.

Themes That Resonate

Other subscriptions centre on specific themes, such as the American Revolution, the Civil Rights Movement, or technology innovation. This way, you can make your gift more personalized and meaningful to your friend because of his or her interests.

Special Collections and Add-Ons

For those who want to take it further than the subscription, we have curated collections and add-ons that focus on rare or fascinating aspects of history. These complement the monthly deliveries beautifully and provide an even richer historical experience.
