That time of the year has come around again, when Britain seeks to commemorate the sacrifices of its Armed Forces, and show support to those still serving today, veterans and their loved ones.

As a shining symbol of remembrance, the Royal British Legion has created a special edition of the poppy brooch this year. The symbolic poppy now features hand painted red coloured enamel with a black crystal centre, and can be purchased in both gold and silver tones.

If you’re thinking that a brooch is not your style, then worry not. Here are six things you can buy from the Poppy Shop to support the Royal British Legion:

Christmas Cards

As Christmas is just round the corner you’re probably looking out for some cards to give to your loved ones or colleagues at work. The Poppy Shop has a wide selection of festive cards to chose from, whether you prefer christmas trees or furry animals on your cards.

Candles

Hand-made and poured in the UK, these candles come in very stylish glass jars with the words “lest we forget” engraved on them. The collection offers an array of fragrances, and is made with a blend of natural and essential oils, so you can decide on which best suits your home.

Dresses

This poppy print 1950’s style dress with its flared skirt and high neckline creates a modern yet timelessly elegant dress. There are other dresses with different designs should you decide this particular one is not to your taste.

The Poppy Collection – Luxury Jewellery

Available in either sterling silver with cubic zirconia stones in the centre or 9ct rose gold with black diamonds, be a head turner and feel that extra bit special with these exclusive pieces of jewellery. Handmade in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham, each piece has been designed based on the symbolic poppy.

For the pets

There are a variety of goodies for your four legged friends. Items range from dog mats to bowls to a poppy dog collar, and everything else inbetween. This plush poppy paws dog bed is made from super soft thermal polyester, and comes in two sizes.

Retro Style Speaker

This one is for the music lovers out there, who also want to add a bit of colour to their living space. This retro styled speaker is compatible with smartphones, tablets and MP3/4-players through Bluetooth technology, so no need to fiddle about with wires. A radio that provides a high quality sound system, it was made to be the life of the party .
