Following are detailed lists of gifts given to Queen Elizabeth as presents at New Year's celebrations, from The Progresses and Public Processions of Queen Elizabeth. I have attempted to remain faithful to the spellings used in the original inventories.

These lists are useful for a variety of artisans and craftspeople (especially those interested in 16th century English reenactment/recreation); there are detailed descriptions of garments, lace, embroidery, jewelry, and even food items.
