The 12 gifts of Shakespeare
From decorations and books to digital theatre experiences – here are the best Shakespeare-inspired Christmas presents for 2020
Digital tickets to Christmas at the (Snow) Globe
With undoubtedly more of our time being spent indoors this Christmas, how about gifting someone you love with a truly spectacular festive film to watch?
Christmas at the (Snow) Globe returns this year as a made-for-film event. Join Sandi Toksvig and the gang for laughter and carols as they save the magic of the holiday season.
We’ll email the gift directly to the recipient on your preferred date so you can just sit back and bask in the glow of being the best gift-giver of all time!
Wooden Shakespeare Decorations
Add some Shakespearean sparkle to your Christmas tree with our selection of wooden decorations.
From Shakespeare himself, to our wooden ‘O’, to his much-loved characters, there’s a beautiful bauble suited for all trees.
A Tudor Christmas
Contrary to popular belief, our modern Christmas wasn’t in fact invented by the Victorians. Many of our favourite festive traditions date back much further to Shakespeare’s England.
Learn more about the origins of carol-singing, present-giving, mulled wine and mince pies in A Tudor Christmas.

To write or not to write?

‘I like this place’ porcelain mug
There’s nothing better at Christmas than warming up on a snowy winter’s day with a cup of warm hot chocolate (and all the marshmallows!)

A Stage Full of Shakespeare Stories
We love settling down to a good story at Christmas time. Treat younger readers to this beautiful anthology of twelve of Shakespeare’s best known stories, retold for children.

Let a loved one know you’re thinking of them this Christmas and New Year with our red-nosed reindeer, festive snowman, or Santa’s catchphrase belly-laugh Christmas cards.
Snow Globe
Hold your very own Snow Globe in the palm of your hand with our Shakespeare’s Snowglobe and watch the snow fall around our wooden ‘O’.
