I'm sure everyone's bombarded with news on the upcoming nuptials, but I can't help it. I'm excited! I want to see Kate's dress, her hair and make-up, her tiara, that Cinderella-like carriage...the works! For sure, I'll be parked in front of the TV (or should I say telly, in honor of the British? LOL) later this evening channel-surfing to get the best coverage possible.
And since I will find any excuse to go shopping (or online window-shopping), allow me to present some royal wedding souvenirs that won't break your pocket. I swear I didn't buy any of these, but I admit I was soooo tempted to.
Bath and Body Works released a royal collection a couple of months ago, featuring lip glosses and hand sanitizers with names like "Princess in Training" or "If the Tiara Fits". The items are just US$1.50-4.00 each, so head on over to bathandbodyworks.com to see what's left:

My favorite Cath Kidston also has its own Royal Wedding Collection. This set priced at 30 UK pounds, includes a fabric tote, a poster, a mug and a keychain:
Unfortunately, this set is currently sold out. You can still get this t-shirt though: William and Kate 4EVA! (I'm kidding, that's not what the shirt says).
David and Goliath tees also released a line of cheeky royal wedding t-shirts:
By the way, today is also the day when the iPad 2 will finally be available in authorized Apple resellers in the Philippines. A complete list of all the retailers who will have iPad 2's in stock can be found here. The units are very reasonably priced (same as US retail price, plus the customary tax), so if you've been dying to get an iPad 2, now is the time to do it. Stocks are still in limited quantity in other parts of the world, and I expect that the same thing will be true here. Tip: Digital Hub/Digital Walker offers great terms (6 months installment at 0% interest). Call their Greenhills branch to reserve right away!

David and Goliath tees also released a line of cheeky royal wedding t-shirts:
I've seen the shirts sold locally, and to be honest... I think they're only appropriate for teens and tweens. I'm passing on this line. But I do love this shirt from David and Goliath, which has nothing to do with the royal wedding whatsoever:
Pretty no? But I will not be distracted!
Finally, if you want the real deal, the Royal Collection Shop has some official wedding merchandise available for purchase online. The most popular, of course, is this commemorative plate at 40 UK pounds:
Again, I'll pass. But I'm sure my mother would love this.
Any other inexpensive royal wedding memorabilia worth checking out? Let me know in the comments section! :)
