Between The Netflix original The Crown and the marriage of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle, a new wave of British Royal Family Fever has swept the nation.
Sounds like someone you know? Here's a selection of fun gifts for the Britophile:
Oh YASS - Wrapping paper made from Megan Markle's fashions! Or choose Megan and Harry. Better hurry - they may be limited in how fast they can ship it and get it to you. $18 for a 20 x 29" wrapping sheets, $6/sheet (sold in sets of 3). From SophiandLili.
The Crown reawakened the glamorous and tragic early life of Princess Margaret - and this book, called "A brilliant, eccentric treat" by the Wall Street journal, this begs to be perused. $22 for hard back, $10 for paperback at BARNES and NOBLE. TIP: Memb get get 10% off but also regularly get emailed coupons for 15-20% off.
Set of two beautifully made hearts - one with the Union Jack, the other with the Royal Crest. Edged in gold, beaded with faux pearls on blue velvet. $16 from World Market.
Or Windsor Castle, which looks like nice quality. 14 pounds (about $18 USD) from - have to get on this one as it ships from England. Find at the Official Royal Collection Shop.
CHECK THIS OUT! You can make Buckingham Palace out of LEGOS. This photo does not do it justice. It is $49 on the LEGO site, but as of this date, it's ON SALE on Amazon for $39
Tweeds and sensible shoes, riding and hunting, walking the moors... nothing says it like Wellington boots, or Wellies - for men, women or kids. They run about $150 for adults - less for kids - you can Google to find them everywhere, for every price - sports stores like EMI and Cabellas, hunting stores, zappos, etc... But here is the official Hunter Brand site: You can get 10% off for giving them your email. You may also want to buy the thick knit liners that fold over the top as well.
OR you can go less traditional and find all kinds of colors and patterns at places like Zappos. These are only $55 for women.
An official cookbook from Royal Chef Mark Flanagan himself, revealing his recipes for afternoon teas through the seasons. Picture yourself using these recipes to create your own spring picnics, summer garden parties, or a proper tea with Christmas extras. $22
Royal Wedding Mug for Prince Harry and Meghan. Each mug is hand-made in Stoke-on-Trent, the home of pottery, using traditional methods which have been perfected over hundreds of years.
Buy At PBS.org for $35.00.
Prince Philip's Godson, Interior designer Ashley Hicks assembled his photos and description of Buckingham Palace's lavish and little seen interiors in Victorian, Edwardian and Regency styles. Beautiful and a well organized photo- tour! $34 for Hardcover at AMAZON.
Of course, there are a plethora of DVD's on the subject, from a full Season 1 and 2 of The Crown, Victoria, Queen Elizabeth's 80th birthday celebration, Diana, Our mother and other documentaries, and several Hollywood movies like the Kings Speech. Click to see 11 choices of films from Cosmopolitan Magazine, then hunt for them at Best Buy, Barnes and Noble, or Google for the best place to buy them online or near you.
And what would the holidays be without a tiara to wear while watching those movies? Or running errands? Just Google Royal Family Tiaras to find them for as low as $15 - 20 for a hoot or more lasting replicas on Amazon for $70-80.
I like this book - a good one to end on:
"A Royal Christmas is the first official publication to explore the fascinating Christmas traditions of royalty past and present. Drawing on many previously unpublished objects and images from the Collection, this highly visual book offers insight into the influence and charm of royal festivities."
See Christmas dinner menus with recipes, photos of Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret doing Christmas activities, many tales of the season (ie: Queen Victorias telling when Prince Albert fell through the ice while skating), and gorgeous party jewels. Again sent from England, this runs about 16 Pounds ($20 USD). Hardcover from the Royal Collections shop.
