Peaky Blinders may be gone from our TV screens for good, but with a movie spin-off confirmed and talk of more to come, fans of the show are staying local to the Shelbys.

The BBC hit series aired its final episode in April this year after six seasons. Ever since they first appeared on our screens in 2013, Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, and his family captivated the imagination of viewers.

Set in Birmingham after the First World War, the show follows Tommy and his brothers Arthur (Paul Anderson) and John (Joe Cole). They fought in the war and return to take over the family business which has been run by their aunt Polly (the late Helen McCrory) in their absence. With Tommy’s fearlessness, ambition and intelligence, the family are soon more successful than ever, and find themselves facing new challenges in the ever-changing illegal branches of their business.

The plot is full of twists and turns that have viewers on the edge of their seats, but the world which creator Steven Knight constructed captivated the imagination of fans, from the whiskey drinking to the the flat caps and hair cuts.

If there’s someone in your life that loves Peaky Blinders, we’ve got you covered this present giving season. Here’s our list of the best Peaky Blinders-themed gifts to buy this Christmas.

Sadler’s Peaky Blinders Irish Whiskey and Flat Cap 

""
Selfridges

There’s no getting around it — the Peaky Blinders love their whiskey. In fact it was one of the most surprising elements of the final series when Tommy gave up drinking, even if it didn’t last all that long.

With this set you get a bottle of blended Irish Whiskey, distilled in County Cork. The whiskey is triple distilled and finished in bourbon barrels for depth and complexity of flavour. It also comes with a signature Peaky Blinders flat cap, worn by members of the Shelby family and their gang in the series. Whilst (thankfully!) the cap doesn’t come with the razor blade which is frequently used by Tommy and the boys, it does come with a razor pin badge so wearers can identify themselves as a fan of the show.

The Peaky Blinders may be fictional, but the characters and plot do have roots in historical fact. In this Sunday Times best-seller, social historian Carl Chinn unpacks the true story of illegal bookmakers operating in Birmingham in the inter-war period, including Chinn’s own great grandfather.

The book adds fascinating context to Tommy Shelby’s world and shines light on the activities of the real Birmingham gang, as well as the violent warfare that took place between real men who appear in the series like Billy Kimber, Alfie Solomon and Darby Sabini.
