5. Authentic Replicas and Artifacts: Seek out authentic replicas or artifacts related to her favorite historical period. It could be a well-crafted replica weapon, a piece of pottery, or even a print or painting of a famous historical scene. These items can help her create immersive displays or enhance her existing collection.

6. Historical Games and Puzzles: Find board games or puzzles based on historical events, figures, or civilizations. These not only provide entertainment but also allow her to learn while engaging with her hobby.

7. Specialty Classes or Workshops: Look for local institutions or organizations that offer specialized classes or workshops in historical crafts, such as blacksmithing, candle making, or period-specific cooking. This will give her the opportunity to learn new skills and gain hands-on experience in historical practices.

8. Travel to Historical Sites: Plan a trip or excursion to a historically significant location related to her favorite era. Whether it's a visit to a museum, historical battlefield, or an ancient city, experiencing these sites firsthand can be incredibly enriching for someone passionate about history.
