Our top picks from our Lucky Sixpences range

If 2020 and early 2021 has taught us anything it is that we could all do with a little bit of luck in our lives! We're not saying they will bring you luck, but our lucky sixpences have a lovely, thoughtful sentiment to them that make them ideal gifts to give.

The tradition of giving a lucky 'silver' sixpence as a gift goes back quite a few decades and you have probably taken part in this tradition without even realising it - if you have ever bit into a Christmas pudding and been lucky enough to find a coin in your desert then you know what we mean.

Another way they were used was in a brides shoe. The bride would place the coin in the sole and walk down the aisle to bring good fortune to both her and the groom for their new life together.

It's great to see the tradition of gifting lucky sixpences as popular today as it has ever been. No matter the occasion they make great gifts. Still not sure? Let us take you through our top picks.

2. New Baby

Lucky Sixpence Baby Boy or Girl (£10)

When a new baby arrives it can be hard to get them something a little bit different. These sixpences are inserted into the tummy of a hanging bear. He has tartan paws and is available with either "baby girl" or "baby boy" written across the front.
