Will & Kate's Wedding: The 10 Oddest Commemorative Items

Page 2 of 2

5. Will & Kate "Artwork"

So technically this one's not for sale, but there is some kind of odd underworld of badly-rendered Royal Wedding folk art that frankly creeps us the hell out.

4. Royal Wedding Manicure

You ever get the feeling you're being looked at?

3. Toilet Seat Cover

In England the bathroom is called the watering closet and a Willie is a prince and not that other thing. Get your mind out of the gutter.

2. Royal Condoms

Crown Jewel condoms have caused quite an uproar with the Royal family. Their slogan? "Lie back and think of England."

1. Barf Bags

Probably the least useful item, but also the most quintessentially British. It deals with bodily functions, but in a typically euphemistic way. The design is simple and stoic, and yet the pun brings it all together. Keep some of these handy if you plan throwing a party April 29.
