The Best (and Most Unnecessary) Platinum Jubilee Souvenirs to Buy | Eater
"A 300-year-old Piccadilly department store famed for luxury food and gift offerings, especially biscuit-filled customizable picnic hampers and an upstairs 'Diamond Jubilee' salon that serves afternoon tea. It stocks a range of Prince Charles–branded products made from ingredients sourced at his estate, ran a contest to find a Platinum pudding, and sells curiosities like glace pineapples and glace tomatoes. For the Jubilee it commissioned a DesignBridge graphic of the Imperial State Crown for its packaging; the commemorative tin contains nine themed biscuit varieties and uses imagery (horses, a swan, a corgi/dachshund mix) to present a visual essay on the monarch’s public role, making the presentation as much the attraction as the contents." - Rachel P.
