In Victorian times, small silver charms were placed in Christmas Puddings.  Each charm giving the recipient a piece of luck or advice for the forthcoming year.

Traditionally, these charms were a boot for travel, a bell for good luck, a wish bone granting a wish, a thimble denoting spinsterhood, a ring for impending marriage, a horseshoe for luck and a bachelor's button for luck.  Silver sixpences and threepenny bits were also placed in the pudding, denoting good fortune.

Coins continued to be placed in puddings long after the little charms were lost, but after World War II coins were made of copper and brass alloys which reacted during the cooking process and soon the tradition of charms and coins in the Christmas Puddings became rare.

We have created a set of sterling silver pudding coins stamped with 21st century messages.  Travel, Money, Luck, Wish, Love (replacing marriage) and Success (replacing spinsterhood!).

Seasons Greetings and Good Luck!
