Hello all this is Adam (Kulrath Bane),
I have a Fair lady who would like to wear a token for her Champion, but I do not know what would be a good token to send to her to wear in my honor.  This would be the first time this has been asked of me.  Do any of the Ladies have any ideas.  Needs to be something special not cheesy.  any ideas would be gratefully accepted.  She is a noble woman and is gorgeous.

A scarf with your crest on it.

I second the scarf
I make a lot of embroidered hankerchiefs that ladies use as tokens to give to their brave knights,
a scarf would work wonderfully the other way around

The Queen and the Ladies of the Court at BARF use something like these to keep the faire dust out of their drinking cup:

These are pretty simple. You could find much prettier vintage white linen handkerchiefs with embroidery on Ebsy or Etsy and add beads yourself. Perhaps some in your colors.

Something like this:

Definitly have your initials or crest embroideted on it.

I must agree with Anna.   But really anything at all with your initial on it.   That is a huge token that women for hundreds of years wanted.  Anything with his initial.  So it could be a handkercheif, scarf, cloth wallet or pouch, pin, pendant,... maybe an initial pendant that you could have stitched onto a pretty hanky or something

What about a pair of gloves with your initials on them?
I'm not fat, it's just that a skinny body couldn't hold ALL THIS PERSONALITY! ;)

Oh that is a good one..   Or how treasured would one of YOUR gloves be.  She could tuck it in her girdle belt or into her basket.. and you would carry one and she the other.     That is the stuff of novels.

Great idea!

It could be any piece of clothe that is easy for you to carry and / or incorporate into your costume.  If she is in garb as well you too should coordinate your outfits and colors.
