In Tudor and Stuart times, gifts were given at New Year rather than at Christmas.
Here is a musical New Year's Gift. It's an anonymous 17th Century dance of that name from Thomas Middleton's Inner Temple Masque, or Masque of Heroes, 1619.
From BL Add. 10444

Happy New Year!
In #earlymodern times, #NewYearsDay was a time for giving resents. These New Year's gifts were often personalised. They might be physical objects, or they might be less tangible - songs, poetry, or pieces of usic.
Here is one from the #Elizabethan era. 'The New-Yeeres Gift'.
From Anthony Holborne's 'Pauans, galliards, almains, and other short æirs both graue, and light', 1599.
