William Shakespeare was baptized April 26, 1564 and died April 23, 1616. Whether you’re celebrating his birth or commemorating his death, this is the Bard’s week.
There are a lot of Shakespeare-inspired gifts out there. Far more than I could spotlight or even list in a single post. They could fill a whole blog by themselves. But, in honor of the Bard, I thought I’d share a few of the wittiest offerings I’ve found:
The Romeo & Julienne cutting board brings a literary touch to your kitchen. It’s available from perpetualkid, from Amazon, and from numerous other shops online.
Two clever applications of Shakespearean quotations are available from the Globe Theatre’s gift shop: an “Out, damned spot!” eraser and a “Hoods make not monks” hoodie.
But you don’t need to travel all the way to the source to find your witty clothing. A search for “Shakespeare” on Cafepress will keep you busily browsing for quite a while.
In the current clever vein, though, the t-shirt proclaiming “And thus I clothe my naked villany” is most deserving of a special mention!
