We couldn’t be more pleased about Kate and Wills getting hitched, but pressie-wise what does one give the couple who literally have everything? Past Royal weddings saw Edward and Sophie ask for a 26-piece bone china dinner set worth £13,580, and Charles and Di receive a diamond-encrusted model boat worth £500,000. Traditionally, royal wedding gift lists are held under lock and key, but we’re not talking John Lewis – they are seriously lavish. So here is Sian Claire Owen's alternative ultimate gift list for the Royal Couple. Get ready to dig deep folks!
His & hers towels
His & Hers towels are staple pressies for any married couple.
Picnic hamper
Wills and Kate will probably shun an exotic honeymoon in favour of a more local destination like the Scilly Isles.
Make her a Lady
Kate Middleton may technically be a commoner, in that (until she gets married) she’s not royalty.&
Lifetime supply of Pimms
In 2007 Prince William famously raided an ASDA store in Dorset, buying £850 worth of booze and depleting them of their Pimms stock.
Baldness coping strategy
Like his mother, William is a bit of a looker.
Thousands of tea towels
Last year Kate and Wills decided to ban naff royal tea towels and aprons from the royal wedding.
Easter eggs!
This year Easter will fall on April 24th, a week before the royal nuptials. So maybe their wedding will have an Easter theme?
ber cool fridge magnets
When the chaos of the wedding dies down, the happy couple must resume daily life. Being royals means that Kate and Wills will both be very busy.
Their own helicopter
It’s not just despotic Third World dictators who use official state-funded aircraft for their personal use, our very own Prince William does too!
Tupperware!
If personal helicopters are beyond your budget, you could do worse than giving Kate and Wills the magical gift of Tupperware.
A corgi puppy
The Queen loves them, Cheryl Cole’s fauxmantic partner Derek Hough simply adores them, and Jennifer Aniston can’t live without hers.
It's nice to give!
It’s hard to know what to give the couple who literally have everything.
