The Buckingham Palace Gift Shop Surprisingly Sells These Bizarre Items

The Buckingham Palace gift shop is one of the must-go-to places when visiting the royal grounds in the U.K. There are lots of products to choose from, and the items are the closest anyone can get for a taste of living like a royal.

For instance, one can get a teapot for $175 to $300 and feel like Queen Elizabeth or Kate Middleton for a day. There is also a copy of the Coronation Necklace that was worn by Queen Alexandria in 1901, Queen Mary in 1911 and Queen Elizabeth in 1953. The original piece was made in 1858 by the House of Garrard for Queen Victoria, and it’s being sold at the Buckingham Palace gift shop for £175.00.

The shop is filled with replicas of a variety of items that the royal family actually owns. Thus, it is worth a visit when on a trip. But while there are these expensive goods, an array of bizarre items are also on display in the store. Here are some of them.

The Queen’s Corgi Dogs

The shop also holds stuffed toys, and Her Majesty’s Corgi dogs are the models for the plush toys. They are exactly like the pet dogs that the Queen owns in real life. Corgi has been the royal family’s favorite breed since 1933, and Queen Elizabeth is known to have lots of them.

The Corgi plush toys are said to be the best-selling souvenir items in the whole shop. In fact, they are so popular that the entire two rows of shelves hold stocks of the stuffed puppies alone.

Dog Bowl

Queen Elizabeth has always been associated with Corgi dogs. Since she loves these pets, the Buckingham Palace gift shop is also selling a dog bowl, and this is quite special because it’s really fit for the royals with its 24-carat gold finish. There are also the Buckingham dog toy, dog bandana, dog brush, dog bed and dog collar.

Shower Cap And Rubber Ducky

The royals wash in style, and the commoners can get the same shower cap that they use for £7.95. As this is a shower item, kids can pair this with the Grenadier Guardsman rubber duck for £5.95.

Guide Book

As revealed on Daily Mail, there are also help guides in the official gift and souvenir shop of the Buckingham Palace, and visitors can buy “A Butler’s Guide To Gentleman’s Grooming” and “Her Ladyship’s Guide To The Queen’s English.” The guides are sold at £7.99 each.

Gin Alcoholic Drinks And Shot Glasses

The Palace is selling a gift package of Gin varieties, and it includes two Potato Vodkas, one Elegant Gin, one Seville Marmalade, one Pink Grapefruit Gin, one Sloe and Mulberry Gin, one Rhubarb Vodka, one Marmalade Vodka, one Elderflower Liqueur and one Smoked Vodka. This set costs £75, and buyers can complete the party if they will buy the Buckingham Palace shot glasses.

Royal Napkin, Jam And Sweets

Visitors can buy a package of palace napkins that can be used for dinners, and there are also royal jams for a royal-like breakfast toast. For a tasty gift for loved ones, the royal salted caramel chocolates are also available for £8.95.
