GIVEAWAY: A Tankard of Your Choice (Up to the Value of £40) from Buyatankard.com (CD: 14/02/2014)

Posted on by

Tankards are one of those timeless gifts that often get passed down from generation to generation. Whether it’s a treasured christening gift, one given to a departing colleague, or to a doting grandad, they’re fabulous traditional presents that help mark a special moment in time. I also find it irresistibly cute when you walk into an old pub and you see old-timers sat at the bar with their tankards - they’re undoubtedly the people you need to chat to if you want to find out about village history, or the local gossip!

Dexter was given a tankard by his grandad when he was born. It’s a tradition as old as the silver bracelet, silver spoon or wetting the baby’s head, and something unique and special to commemorate a new addition to the family. Dexter’s is currently in his memory box in the loft, wrapped in silk, waiting for him to be old enough to appreciate it. It’s not a christening gift (as we’re atheists) but it’s still a precious reminder of the day he turned our world upside down!

Buyatankard.com is the only place you need to go if you’re looking for a tankard. They have such a vast array of sizes, styles and shapes, you are bound to find inspiration for your special gift. Almost all of the tankards are hand-made from Pewter in Sheffield, and all can be engraved to make your tankard truly unique. You can even design-your-own (right down from the size, to the handles, to the finish) if you had something very specific in mind.

The 1/4 Pint Tankards make the most gorgeous christening or new baby gift. Whether you opt for a plain tankard, with your baby’s name, date of birth, and a special message, or one of the child-friendly designs, you’ll get a gift your child will keep forever.

Clockwise: 1/4 Pint Plain Pewter Stork Handle Mug / 1/4 Pint Humpty Dumpty Pewter Mug / 1/4 Pint Grandson Pewter Mug / 1/4 Pint Cow Over The Moon Pewter Mug / 1/4 Pint Welsh Dragon Handle Child’s Pewter Cup / 1/4 Pint Baby Georgian Pewter Mug / All under £30

But, as mentioned above, tankards aren’t solely for new baby’s. They can be personalised to celebrate any event or to simply say thank you. They’re great marking landmark birthdays, graduations, Father’s Day, retirements, weddings, or even Valentine’s Day. Every year we’re bound to know someone celebrating a major achievement, or someone that deserves a fuss made of them. With this in mind, here are some of my favourite adult-sized tankards from elsewhere on the site.

Left to right: 1 Pint Viking Horn Tankard £66.60 / 1 Pint Henry Tankard £45.77 / 1 Pint Monarch Double Brass Band Tankard £38.76 /1 Pint Contemporary Celtic Tankard £42.31 / 1 Pint Crystal Round Tankard £44.74 / 1 Pint X-Range Georgian Pewter Tankard £79.08 / 1 Pint Silver Dragon Tankard £67.85 / 1 Pint The King’s Shilling Tankard £43.85 / 1 Pint Double Lines Lion Handle Pewter Tankard £27.65

Well the fabulous guys at Buy a Tankard, have offered one of my readers the chance to win a tankard of their choice (from anywhere on the site) up the value of £40. With many of the tankards available priced below £40, there’s plenty of scope to add some engraving to make it extra special. Entry is via Rafflecopter so good luck!

  17. It’s a tough one- I could think of loads of people these would be perfect for… but I think it would be my husband, it is our tenth wedding anniversary in March and we don’t normally bother with presents but this would be a fantastic gift.

  51. I would choose the child’s tankard with Humpty Dumpty Nursery Rhyme. As a gift for my young nephew’s birthday. He is learning nursery rhymes, and has a Humpty Dumpty game, so he would love this tankard. Yet it could be treasured for years to come, a wonderful memory of his childhood.

  116. I would give this to my partner. He loves all things medieval and looks like he stepped out of Lord of the Rings. We have had a long distance relationship for almost 4 years, and this Spring we are setting up together in a new home. This would be so wonderful to surprise him with, sitting on ‘our’ olde worlde’ little oak table, with a cold tankard of mystically named real ale, so we can toast to our new adventure.
