2 days to go!

Images of London from my final pre-wedding trot-about...I'm not brave enough to join the throngs on Friday morning, instead I'll be watching from the comfort of home with an after party :)

More Royal Wedding Treats (from retailers in US and UK)

I'm not sure when the merchandising will end!!!! But here are a few more royal wedding treats available in both the US and UK, perhaps good for your royal wedding watch party?

DunkinDonuts is said to be coming out with a royal wedding donut, heart shaped, iced and strawberry jam filled availalbe from April 24.

McVitie's (a British biscuit/cookie brand) who is said to have been asked to make one of the royal wedding cakes has come out with a commerative tin/box which is available in stores now (in the UK) and retailing for £5. If i see one in stores, I'll be sure to update and let you know...I would imagine Waitrose and Marks & Spencers are more likely to carry them than Sainsbury's and Tesco. In the US you may find international grocery stores as well as stores with a British section (try Kroger) stock these as well. Amazon often sells them and eBay will surely have a few.

Yankee Candle in both the US and UK have a themed candle out, although there's nothing particularly spectacular about it in my opinion. 

My personal favorite? Cat food! Organic catfood company "The Cat Food Factory" has an adorable commemorative cat food tin...my cat wouldn't have it, but maybe yours would? I believe these can be purchased online at http://www.thecatfoodfactory.co.uk

And, if you live near a Baskin Robbins in the US, they have a royal wedding inspired ice cream cake featuring 30 blue and white English roses, which, I might add matches the Official Royal Collection china pretty well!
And, finally, The Biscuiteers have come out with a wedding themed box of decorated cookies, which are cute but probably don't taste that nice! These are available on Amazon as well as the company's website.

Last but not least, American retailer Bath & Body Works has a line of royal lipglosses and hand sanitizers! With names like Kissed by a Prince and Royal Pucker, they're cute although a bit juvenile, thanks to blog Monograms and Manicures for alerting me to these!
