7 of the Strangest Royal Wedding Products
63In all of the hype and general mayhem surrounding the Royal Wedding, it's not surprising that a few people tried to make a buck off Will and Kate- what is surprising is how quickly the good, normal ideas ran out and were replaced by slightly less sane souvenirs.
#7: The Sliding Glass Door Royal Couple
There are wall decals for Twilight, life-size cardboard cutouts for Lord of the Rings and President Obama, but this may set the new standard for obsession. The sickening shade of pink doesn't help, either- that alone would exclude these doors from my decorating scheme even without the giant faces.
#6: The Royal Couple Manicure
Will and Kate just look so cute together! Don't you wish you could stare at ten little miniatures of their happy, happy faces while going about your humdrum daily errands? Well now you can, and the best part is you can avoid the cost of silly professional manicures with these fake nails- just stick and go!
#5: The Fridge of True Love
The nails are a nice accessory, but a tad small to properly see the joy in those happy faces. But a brand-new royal refrigerator, outfitted with a literally larger-than-life engagement picture, will be just the thing to stare at over your morning bowl of Cheerios.
#4: A Royal Wedding Nativity
Some crafty-types eschew the expensive official souvenirs in order to make their own keepsakes, preferably with yarn. Luckily this book is made for that specific target audience; well, them and voodoo practitioners who are also knitters. Not only that, it covers so many of the major players in the wedding! The couple is represented, the pastor, the Queen and her consort, the best man (Prince Harry, in what may be his least-attractive moment of all time), and Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla. Even the Queen's dogs will finally get their moment in the wedding spotlight!
#3: Garden Gnomes Tie the Royal Knot
Say what you will about the Royal Wedding knitting book, I think this gnome couple ups the ante for creepiness. There's something a little off-putting about even the most commonplace of garden gnomes, but these two look as though they'll come alive in the night and go on a rampage, Chucky-style.
#2: The Crown Jewel Condoms
Say what you will about how shallow girls can be, it's hard to imagine that any man could get laid if this is what he pulled out of his wallet at that crucial moment. Forget being a Prince, he would have to be King, Emperor, Grand Poobah of the Universe if he wanted to get some play while carrying around a commemorative royal wedding condom.
#1: The Royal Flub
'Yes, it's a coffee mug,' you're thinking. And generally coffee mugs are only the most unoriginal keepsake of all time, but study the pictures. Study them closely. Even those of you who are not well-versed in Royal Family members may notice that that is not Prince William Kate's picture is printed next to, but his younger brother, Prince Harry. Whoever gave this manufacturer the heads-up about the nuptials seems to have left out one crucial detail- like which Prince would be the groom, for instance.
