When Pins Were Valued New Year Gift Tradition Declined
The article traces the decline of New Yen's day gift giving as Christmas became the main holiday. It notes pins originated in the 16th century as a New Year gift for ladies and that "pin money" evolved into funds for a wife’s private expenses. Pins in metal appeared before 1343, with Henry VII's act limiting price to 6 shillings 8 pence per thousand. Earlier pins were carved from box wood and bone, while common folk used wooden pins as simple skewers.
