In the Middle Ages and on into the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I, it was common in England to present small but choice gifts on New Year's Day, often gloves or fine pins (hence “pin money”); the sovereigns, paradoxically, were the recipients of lavish gifts from their subjects, including, in the reign of Elizabeth, silk stockings and jewel-encrusted ornaments, These customs fell into decline after the Civil War.
