Hamilton: An American Musical has a legion of very loyal fans. Those who love it really, really love it. (That includes my teen and myself.) There is some fun Hamilton merchandise for those fans, which is much more affordable than tickets to the show in either New York or Chicago. Here are some great gifts for Hamilton fans that you may have on your list.
Great for everyone: Hamilton: The Revolution
This book is a must-read for those who love the musical. I received this as a birthday gift and loved it. Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the show, and Jeremy McCarter, this tome explores the production and the inspirations behind it in great depth with beautiful photos and all the lyrics to every song. The history nerd in me totally geeked out over the footnotes and annotations to the lyrics. Reading this makes it very easy to see how the show won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and eleven Tony Awards.
For the really devoted: Hamilton 2017 Wall Calendar
This may be just the way to introduce younger smartphone devotees to the concept of a written calendar. It’s great for room decor for teens and college students, too.
For those addicted to their phone: Hamilton Playbill Phone Case
Speaking of smartphones, this case for the iPhone 6/6s features the image of a Playbill signed by the stars is pretty great, and perfect stocking stuffer size. This is also budget friendly. (It’s rubber, so perhaps not providing amazing protection, but fun nonetheless.)
Awesome for coffee, tea, and cocoa lovers: Hamilton mug
The Hamilton mug is not only microwave safe, it is also official, licensed merchandise.
Wonderful for a jewelry lover: Rise Up necklace
“Rise up” is a lyric that appears in several Hamilton songs. It has a great deal of meaning and is pretty inspiring. This sweetly simple necklace would make a great stocking stuffer.
Perfect for a reader or history buff: Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
This is the book where it happened. Miranda took it on vacation with him and the rest is history. At 832 pages, this is a hefty book, but it’s fascinating to learn even more about Alexander Hamilton’s life.
Fun for artistic types: Hamilton: An Adult Coloring Book
With images ranging from Eliza and Alexander’s wedding to Revolutionary War battles, this is great for those who love the show and coloring. It will be available on December 6, just in time for the holidays!
Cat lovers will adore this Hamilcat t-shirt
Aaron Burr is a main character in the show, but Aaron Purr steals the show on this adorable shirt.
Good for musicians: Hamilton: Easy Piano Selections
The music to Hamilton is amazing and learning to play the tunes is pretty awesome. The songs are very simplified so even I could handle them. My daughter who plays flute was able to use this to make out some of the songs. Its worth noting that not all songs are included. (There are 46 on the cast recording.) But those that are in the book are fun and not too challenging.
For those with a sense of humor: Hamilton T-shirt
This line sung sarcastically by King George III gets a lot of laughs and is pretty hilarious. If you’re gifting a Hamilton friend with a sense of humor, they’ll appreciate this.
Ideal for procrastinators: A million things I haven’t done t-shirt
I presume that most Hamilton fans already have the Grammy-winning original Broadway cast recording. On the off chance they do not have it, you can get the soundtrack here and the recently announced Hamilton Mixtape which comes out December 2 here. You can find all the official merchandise from the Broadway production here.
