Any ideas that you guys have seen?

I have a t-shirt but has anyone seen anything else? That is all DD wants. I have a couple pairs of gold earrings for her as her big present but want some Hamilton stuff that she really wants.

There are some necklaces on Amazon. Probably more on Etsy. https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-musical-Broadway-throwing-necklace/dp/B01HHBVW1K/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1477658596&sr=8-6&keywords=hamilton+gifts

I saw an awesome book at the library recently - it had tons of pictures of the show, all the lyrics and behind the scenes writings, with comments from Lin Manuel. Really well done and amazing. I'm considering getting it for DS who is also somewhat obsessed. Well, we all are!

oh--I wonder if PBS will sell a video of their recent show on Hamilton?? Or maybe it will be on Netflix so no need to buy. I will be watching this thread--DD is addicted to the sound track!

That was her bible this summer!!! Great book. In one part was when Miranda wrote how Angelica and Hamilton would change the meaning of what they wrote by moving the comma. He said "comma sexting, it's a thing!".

There's so much on etsy (jewelry, pins, clothing, dolls, costumes)! I've also ordered a few shirts for my kids from TeePublic and Red Bubble. There's a lot to sort through, but some of it is adorable. I got a few little pouches and tote bags that I love.

Also - the calendar!

My DD counted up her change and when she went to the bank with it asked for all $10 bills

SO cute! DD has the one with all 3 sisters, but it's hard to resist "and peggy!"

Thanks so much for the suggestion but I have already purchased the book and it's in the gift closet! :)

I assume you have the "tome" (the Hamilton Musical book), the soundtrack, tshirts, the Ron Chernow book and the mixtape on pre-order. I recently bought my DD1 this Peek tshirt (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/peek-liberty-long-raglan-sleeve-graphic-tee-toddler-girls-little-girls-big-girls/4421465?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=CREAM) which has the famous Jefferson quote Daveed Diggs sings in the first Cabinet Battle.

The Chernow book is fantastic and my 10.5 year old read it so your DD might enjoy it.

There are various Hamilton dolls and mini figs on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/search/toys-and-games?q=hamilton+musical&explicit=1) that are darn cute. I'm getting our family tickets to the show as our family holiday present!

Yay, Hamilton! ;)

That's the "Hamiltome"

The full title is Hamilton: the Revolution. If you get the audiobook, Lin reads it.

I bought mine using coupons & rewards points at B&N. Worth every penny, even if you have to pay full price (and if you're gonna pay full price, I'd like to plug that you order it from the Drama Bookshop in NYC (http://www.dramabookshop.com).)

ETA: DD and I want this mashup - the Schuywalkers (https://society6.com/product/work-the-schuywalkers_stretched-canvas#s6-4048698p16a6v28) (kids' sizes, if you need 'em, on RedBubble.)

Is this what they now have at Costco? I know someone saw a Hamilton book there, and I'm wondering if this is it... hoping!

Yes, the one at Costco is Hamilton: The Revolution (aka, the "Hamiltome")

Hamilton Chicago has some unique to the Chicago production items, like this shirt: http://broadwaymerchandiseshop.com/stores/hamilton/apparel/hamilton-chicago-flag-t-shirt

My daughter (8) read this biography last year: https://www.amazon.com/Alexander-Hamilton-Outsider-Jean-Fritz/dp/0142419869/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1478378170&sr=8-4&keywords=hamilton+biography

This year she read: https://www.amazon.com/Duel-Parallel-Lives-Alexander-Hamilton/dp/0425288218/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478378219&sr=8-1&keywords=duel+hamilton+burr

She has also enjoyed reading historical fiction from the revolutionary period: https://www.amazon.com/Dear-America-Winter-Red-Snow/dp/0545238021/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1478378304&sr=8-3&keywords=dear+america

Happy Hamilshopping!

Also, don't forget Leslie Odom, Jr.'s new Christmas album which is coming soon, and the album he released already... Autumn Leaves: https://www.amazon.com/Leslie-Odom-Jr/dp/B01E46VAAY/ref=tmm_acd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1478378424&sr=8-2

Christmas: https://www.amazon.com/Simply-Christmas-Leslie-Odom-Jr/dp/B01L22Y87K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478378424&sr=8-1&keywords=leslie+odom+jr.

I do think I saw that if you buy from his website, you can get the CDs autographed.

And TeeRico has lots of Lin-Manuel stuff (from his other show, from things he's posted on Twitter, etc.) and it is legit run by his family, etc.:

My DD has read the same books (except the last one that I'll now order, thanks!) and loved them. Costco also has the Chernow biography, but I bought my "Hamiltome" there.

I bought the Hamilton Chicago flag tshirt when we went, but my husband has already stolen it!

How could I have forgotten TeeRico!!

I'm partial to the "#bitofaday" and "love is love is love is love" ... but it's all pretty awesome.

If you haven't already bought the other Leslie Odom Jr album, you should. It's Great American Songbook/standards, like the stuff Harry Connick, Jr and Michael Buble perform, so it really plays with Leslie's crooner side.

I've heard bits & pieces because "On Broadway" on SiriusXM was playing a lot of it.

And the fact that he's done a Christmas album! I'm dead.
