With the Royal nuptials fast approaching, here at MNHQ we've noticed a common trend in the mails pinging daily into our inbox. From the cute, to the classy Hmm , to the shocking Shock and just astonishing Biscuit.

Can you do better? We have seen this thread so we know you're already ahead of us.

You've got until midday 20 April to link to your favourite wedding tat memorabilia on this thread. MNHQ will put together a shortlist on 21 April and you will get the chance to vote for the most gloriously OTT memento of Will 'n' Kate's big day.

The winner will be announced on 26 April and will receive a suitably themed gift .

Best

MNHQ

Ive said this before,and i'll say it again,surely this is the only MN contender?!

PaganOfBologna · 17/04/2011 21:18

Just knew Pedlars would be getting in on the act. And what a naff design too, doesn't look a thing like them

They have the teabags that someone else linked earlier. And a pretty pointless tea towel

And as it's Pedlars I couldn't resist having a dig around. Their Sale items are rich pickings. How about this kids chalk board half price at £170 (and it doesn't even stand up by itself) Shock

SpringchickenGoldBrass · 17/04/2011 21:35

Bah! That's what you want.

PaganOfBologna · 17/04/2011 21:39

SGB are they from our very own madamez? (as was, don't think she's around now, or namechanged)

SpringchickenGoldBrass · 17/04/2011 21:43

Blush I claim piano tuner protocol.

AitchTwoOh · 17/04/2011 21:43

madamez... now there was an MNer... Grin

SpringchickenGoldBrass · 17/04/2011 21:47

FriggFrigg that is genius (wishes I had thought of it).

PaganOfBologna · 17/04/2011 21:57

Indeed Aitch!

FriggFRIGG · 17/04/2011 22:07

indeed SGB....i went to college with her,

pure genius.

I fancy this in "Don't be a Mug, Kate" or, "I was Fergie's plus one"

czahida · 19/04/2011 04:02

Guys - still loving the Wills and Kate royal cereals! www.royalbreakfast.com - has anyone else bought them?! Mine arrived in the post today, they look amazing!!!! Which number are you going for?!

IngridBergman · 19/04/2011 09:40

I have a mug from wilko's that cost me a quid and I LOVE it though it is seriously crap.

The teatowl nearly tempted me but it felt like nylon so wasn't sure it would dry anything.

B&Q had some amazing gnomes, we nearly bought three Grin

here and here

They don't even LOOK like the esteemed couple

it's brilliant Grin

jimswifein1964 · 19/04/2011 13:19

That cereal is 9.99 a box Shock . Loving the jingle though!

czahida · 19/04/2011 16:37

Yea its a bit pricey... but I remember seeing this for the presidential election in the states, where 500 boxes of 'Obama O's' and 'Cap'n McCains' were made - they went for $40 a box initially, then became collectors items and sold for hundreds of dollars on eBay afterwards! I'm probably going to hang on to my boxes for a while, but I'm getting a good number that I can hopefully sell on for more later!!

GeraldineMumsnet · 20/04/2011 10:27

Last call for links to your ROFL-est royal wedding memorabilia. Thread closes at midday today.

Thanks to everyone who posted their gems Grin.

BecauseImWoeufIt · 20/04/2011 10:56

BecauseImWoeufIt · 20/04/2011 10:56

BecauseImWoeufIt · 20/04/2011 10:57

That's really weird...

Trying again!

hotcrossbarry · 20/04/2011 11:08

Not on the High Street has some special examples:

egg cosies

royal wedding stone?!

Ka-tea

hotcrossbarry · 20/04/2011 11:13

have the sylvanian families been linked to yet?

and the ashtrays?

who actually buys this shite, just out of interest?

cvchris · 20/04/2011 11:32

It has to be the Kate Middleton doll. A snip at $200 !

GeraldineMumsnet · 20/04/2011 12:33

Thank you one and all. Shortlist compiling will now take place and we'll link to the poll once it's built.

IngridBergman · 20/04/2011 13:30

Oh darn it, I didn't realise twenty other people had linked to the gnomes already. Never mind.

GeraldineMumsnet · 21/04/2011 16:58

Our shortlist of your Royal wedding memorabilia is here.

Please cast your vote.

We'll randomly choose one name from everybody who does so when the poll closes on 25 April, and that lucky, lucky MNetter will get a small but tasteless tasteful prize.
