What makes a good gift for a Clapton fan?

A good Clapton gift gets used, not shelved. Three quick tests help:

  • It shows the fandom without shouting. The "Clapton Is God" slogan began as anonymous graffiti in 1960s London, as the Wikipedia entry on the phrase explains, and it still works as a quiet nod between fans.
  • The fabric feels good. Soft cotton tees and fleece hoodies get worn on repeat. Stiff novelty pieces do not.
  • The sizing risk is low. Unisex cuts, a wide size range and size-free extras like mugs and badges make guessing safe.

1. A Clapton's Canvas tee: the easy everyday gift

If you only buy one thing, make it the tee. The Clapton's Canvas tee comes in baby blue as a unisex regular fit, in 100% cotton (180 GSM) that is triple bio-washed and pre-shrunk. Sizes run from XS to 7XL, plus kids' sizes from 0 to 11 years, so it suits almost anyone on your list. Each one is printed when you order.

2. An oversized Clapton Is God tee: for the streetwear-leaning fan

Some fans want a looser, heavier tee. The oversized Clapton Is God tee is white, cut in 100% super combed cotton at 240 GSM, bio-washed and pre-shrunk, with half sleeves and a Lycra ribbed neck that keeps its shape. Because the cut is already roomy, check the chest measurements (39 to 49 inches across XS to XXL) against a tee she already loves.

3. A long sleeve tee: for layering season

The Clapton Is God long sleeve tee is white, with full sleeves, a regular unisex fit and a classic crew neck. It uses the same 100% cotton, 180 GSM fabric as the standard tee, in sizes S to 3XL. It is a good pick for cooler months, and it layers neatly under a jacket or a flannel.

4. The Clapton's Canvas hoodie: the big gift

For a birthday or a holiday gift that really lands, choose the Clapton's Canvas hoodie. It is a pullover in 100% bio-washed cotton fleece with kangaroo pockets, and the unisex fit has a little slouch built in. It comes in baby blue, in sizes S to 3XL (chest 40 to 50 inches).

5. A fleece sweatshirt: for the fan who skips hoods

If the person you are shopping for dislikes hoods, the Clapton's Canvas sweatshirt is the better choice. It is made from the same 100% bio-washed cotton fleece, comes in baby blue in sizes S to 3XL, and is printed to order with eco-friendly inks. It costs $72.99.

6. A Clapton Is God mug: for the morning ritual

A mug is the safest gift when you do not know a size. The Clapton Is God mug holds 11 oz in glossy ceramic, is digitally printed for high contrast, and is both microwave-safe and dishwasher-friendly. It works for coffee, chai or anything else, and it is easy to wrap.

7. A set of wooden coasters: the mug's best partner

The Clapton Is God coasters come as a set of 2 square wooden coasters, each 9 cm by 9 cm, with fade-proof printed artwork. They suit a desk or a coffee table, and they pair naturally with the mug above for $61.98 together.

8. A Clapton mousepad: for the fan who works at a desk

A mousepad turns a plain desk into a fan corner. The Clapton's Canvas mousepad has a smooth cloth surface and a thick anti-slip rubber base. It also comes in a second design, Clapton Is God, so you can match it to the rest of the gift. Both cost $24.99.

9. A pin badge: the small gift that fits any card

For a stocking stuffer or an add-on, the Clapton's Canvas badge is the cheapest way in. It measures 58 mm (2.28 inches) across, has a glossy finish and a pin back, and clips onto a backpack, a denim jacket or a cap.
