Valentine's Gifts For Lovers With a Passion for Shakespeare

It may seem an incongruous mix: Shakespeare and 21^st century technology.

Nevertheless, for your iPhone loving fan of the Bard, what better Valentine’s gift could you find?

This cover for the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4s is adorned with the image of Shakespeare from the cover of the first folio of his plays.

As unique Shakespeare-themed gifts go, this is a particularly romantic one. The mug is crammed with some of Shakespeare’s most romantic quotes.

In fact, there’s so much there to read that your Shakespeare lovin’ lover will notice something new every time he or she uses it!

Tradition dictates that jewellery is a perfect Valentine’s gift for a lady, and this is the ideal present, not just for lovers of Shakespeare, but also for any romantic.

This silver tone bracelet is engraved with lines from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116, “Let me not to the marriage of true minds/Admit impediments. Love is not love/Which alters when it alteration finds,/Or bends with the remover to remove:/O no! it is an ever-fixed mark/That looks on tempests and is never shaken.”

I must admit, the last watch I had with an image on it, it was that of Winnie the Pooh (and it was over twenty years ago).

But this great Twelfth Night-themed watch has persuaded me that images on watch faces are not just for kids.

Not only does the watch have Shakespeare's image on its face - reason enough for any Shakespeare fan to love it - but also, around the edge, the apt quote from Twelfth Night, “O time! thou must untangle this, not I; It is too hard a knot for me to untie!” acts as the second hand.

This is a nifty and unqiue aspect of the watch, which is sure to appeal to any Shakespeare lover.
