Here are some decorative Hamilton-themed pins and buttons from around the internet.
On Etsy, thefoundretail offers an enamel Hamilton pin for $9.75.
LoganArch offers a “Hipster Alexander Hamilton” soft enamel pin for $9.95.
InkandMettle features a wooden, antique-style handmade pin on stained wood for $10.
On Etsy, Yeswarea11 offers a set of handmade Constitution and Founding Father buttons featuring Hamilton, Jefferson, Washington, and some famous quotes from the founders.
As an update to my older post about Hamilton-themed office supplies, here are some additional office supplies available!
My office still boasts a Hamilton bobblehead and the mini-bust that I got a few years ago! Some newer supplies and office decorations are now on the market, including:
Fishs Eddy offers this dueling gift box of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton shot glasses on their website for $12. I received these as a Christmas present this year, and love them! They are very sturdy and well made (but be warned, they pour pretty large shots).
Cafe Press offers this Fight Club Hamilton shot glass, combining A. Ham + one of my favorite movies, for $13.99.
Cafe Press also offers this I Love Federalists shot glass for $13.99.
And if you’re looking for something to put into these shot glasses, food writer Casey Barber has an exciting recipe for an Alexander Hamilton cocktail she named “My Shot” on Good Food Stories. She writes:
As the Hamilton musical grows into more of a phenomenon, I feel compelled to celebrate its genius. I don’t have an acre of land, a troop to command, or a dollop of fame, but I can make a damn good cocktail. So here’s my way of adding my voice to the narrative: a boozy homage to the checkered, complex life of Alexander Hamilton, using spirits—rum, whiskey, cider, pimento dram, and applejack—that were popular during Hamilton’s lifetime.
Here is some random Hamil-Swag I’ve come across in the past few weeks.
A. Hamster: this sticker from Red Bubble features an adorable Hamiltonian hamster. Small stickers are $2.40 and medium stickers are $6.00.
Wrapping Paper: It’s too late for this holiday season, but there are apparently a few varieties of Hamilton wrapping paper:
Capitalism Rocks Hamilton mug: from Cafe Press, this mug is $9.95.
Translucent Pint Glass: Designed by Stephen Harmon and available from Cafe Press, this pint glass is $12.95
Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20’s and 30’s that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the Williamsburg, Wicker Park, and Mission District neighborhoods of major cosmopolitan centers such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco respectively. Although “hipsterism” is really a state of mind,it is also often intertwined with distinct fashion sensibilities. Hipsters reject the culturally-ignorant attitudes of mainstream consumers, and are often be seen wearing vintage and thrift store inspired fashions, tight-fitting jeans, old-school sneakers, and sometimes thick rimmed glasses.
8tracks user Glorfinedel created an Alexander Swagmilton playlist to celebrate Hamilton’s birthday. The playlist features a catchy mix of hip hop and pop songs.
The tagline under the swagtastic image states:
bruh. but like, what if we had a bank?
happy birthday alexander hamilton

I recently upgraded my iPhone and switched over to the iPhone 6. I previously had three different Hamilton-related covers for my iPhone 4S, but was on the hunt for something new. Here are the contenders I looked at:
Red Bubble has an “Alexander Swagilton” cover featuring Hamilton in some impressive stunner shades, available for $25. The description states: “Need I say more? The genius of finance comes all the way from St. Croix to hang out on your pillows, walls, and other swag-enabled places. Don’t tell Jefferson.”
They also have a “Ham the Man” design. The description states: “Alexander Hamilton: financial whiz kid, self-explanatory.”
Ultimately, I chose this Hamilton watercolor portrait case, designed by Fabrizio Cassetta and available at Fine Art America for $35.
Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s time to decorate for Christmas! Here are some ideas to add some Hamilton swag to your tree this year:
(1) Glass-blown Hamilton ornament: In 1998, the Christopher Radko Company produced a glass-blown Hamilton ornament that is now available from resellers like eBay and Hand of Man. The ornament was second in the Patriots series that the company created, and only 7,500 were made.
(2) The National Society, Sons of the American Revolution designed this ornament as part of a 2002 series of Founding Father ornaments. It is available from the SAR website for $10.
(3) Young Hamilton Ornament: Founding Father Joy designed this tribute to “young Artillery Capt. Alexander Hamilton,” on sale at Zazzle for $22.95.
(4) “Alexander Hamilton Is My Favorite” available on Cafe Press for $12.95
(1) Wall Decals
Because your walls have clearly been missing a 2-4 foot Hamilton cutout, here are some options. I haven’t read any reviews of these products, but am contemplating getting one for my office- please comment if you’ve purchased any of them:
Historical Cutouts, a website specializing in educational cutouts of historical figures, offers this 72-inch cut out of Hamilton that can either be made as a cardboard cutout or as a “vinyl wall graphic.”
WallMonkeys has several Hamilton decals, which can be ordered in sizes ranging from 12 by 18 to 48 by 72 inches. Some of their designs include:
This image of the Hamilton statue at Central Park
and this stack of $10 bills
Amazon offers a Hamilton wall mural that is 24 by 32 inches. The description states:
Wall Murals are a simple, affordable way to brighten up any space in your home or office. Transform an ordinary room into a tropical escape, celestial adventure, enchanted forest, or spectacular cityscape. This Wall Mural is made of one 4’x6′ high quality laminated photographic paper panels. The mural surface wipes clean and is stain resistant. Murals are re-usable and repositionable.

(3) Other Stickers

Anyone who has seen the logo for The Hamilton in DC knows that Hamilton can certainly rock a pair of shades. (On a related note, I will *finally* get to check out The Hamilton when I have a work trip to DC next month and am very excited!!):
It's Hamiltime!
