Buying for someone who's obsessed with Vikings? Whether it's a Vikings binge-watcher, a history buff, a reenactor or someone who just really likes mead, we've got you. We've spent years picking, making and shipping Viking gifts from our workshop in Yorkshire, and these are the ones that go down best.
Here's our Viking gift guide, sorted by budget so you can find the perfect present without getting lost in the longships.
Viking gifts under £20
Stocking fillers, Secret Santa and "just because" presents that punch well above their price.
- Raven Forge Viking mead with a free drinking horn. A 70cl bottle of our own Bloodmoon, Berserker or Wizard's Mead, with a drinking horn thrown in. One of our favourite small gifts.
- Mjolnir pendant. Thor's hammer, the most-worn symbol of the Viking Age, for strength and protection.
- Lava stone rune bracelet or a Vegvisir woven wristband: everyday Norse style.
- Horn noggins. Small horn cups for a dram of mead, whisky or anything else worth toasting.
- Viking eating spike. For the friend who insists on eating like it's 850 AD.
- Mystery Viking drinking horn. Every horn is unique, so let Odin choose.

Viking gifts from £20 to £50
- A proper drinking horn. In Norse myth, the Valkyries greet Odin in Valhalla bearing mead in drinking horns. Pick one from our drinking horn range and give it pride of place between feasts.
- Raven Forge mead twin pack or the triple pack with all three of our meads: the ultimate Viking gift set for anyone who likes a tipple.
- Odin's Raven horn mug or wood-bound tankards: for ale, mead or a very Viking cup of tea.
- Hand-forged neck torc. Twisted and shaped during forging, echoing the neck rings that came back into fashion in the Viking Age.
- Viking bone runes set. A complete set of 25 runes, including our very own Raven Forge rune, in a leather pouch. Perfect for the one who likes to consult the Norns.
- Extra large war horn. For summoning the family to dinner. Or the neighbours to war.
- Hand-forged cutlery set. Feasting, the proper way.
Viking gifts from £50 to £100
- The Original Pizza Axe. Designed by us and engraved with "Raven Forge" in Elder Futhark runes. It slices like an ulu, so the toppings stay put. Our most famous gift, and it can be personalised with hand-burnt characters on the haft.
- Cheese axes. Axes. For cheese. Your host will be legendary.
- Mini throwing axes, set of three. A best seller that turns any garden with a wooden target into a mead hall competition.
- A full-size throwing axe. The Bearded Thrower or the Floki Runed Throwing Axe, hand-burnt with a bind rune in our workshop.
Viking gifts over £100
For the milestone birthdays, the weddings and the "you've really outdone yourself" moments.
- The Ragnar. Our best-selling Viking axe, inspired by Ragnar Lothbrok. It's forged steel on an English ash haft that's part-charred, waxed and hand-wrapped in leather in our workshop, with a hand-stitched leather sheath. Or go darker with The Black Ragnar.
- The Valkyrie Axe or The Rollo: statement axes for the wall or the woodpile.
- Genuine XL reindeer fur hide. Reindeer have hollow hair, which makes their fur incredibly warm, second only to polar bear. It's an ethically sourced by-product of the Nordic meat industry, and it turns any sofa into a jarl's seat.
- Genuine reindeer hide mantle. For reenactors, LARPers and anyone who wants to feel like they've just stepped off a longship.

Make it personal
This is where a Viking gift becomes a family heirloom. Our workshop can burn runes, names and Nordic symbols into the hafts of many of our axes by hand, perfect for weddings, groomsmen, big birthdays and retirements. Custom pieces usually take 1–2 weeks, so leave a little time before the big day. Want something truly bespoke? See our custom and bespoke axes.
Can't decide? Let fate choose
Our mystery boxes are packed with Viking and geeky goodies, and nobody knows exactly what's inside until it's opened. Very Norse. Very fun.
