The Official Platinum Jubilee souvenirs have gone on sale ahead of the four-day bank holiday weekend celebrating the Queen's 70 years on the throne.
Included in the dedicated collection is a box of five luxurious biscuits, of two Corgis, two Britannia bunting flags and a detailed crown for £25.
Royal fans can also get their hands on a £16 pair of Jubilee socks which show the outlines of the national flowers of the United Kingdom, with a rose for England, a daffodil for Wales, a thistle for Scotland and a shamrock for Northern Ireland.
Also up for grabs is a £39 English sparkling wine, a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with fruit exclusively grown and hand-picked in Kent and West Sussex vineyards. It is said to pair 'particularly well with mature English cheddar'.
They also had a £25 fine bone china coffee mug, inspired by the purple Robe of Estate worn by the Queen at her Coronation, with the border decoration based on the gold embroidery on the robe, incorporating olive branches and wheat ears which symbolises 'peace and prosperity'.
It was also finished with 22 carat gold - but it has since sold out.

Each of these products are to be sold in a limited edition with only 2,022 in stock, in recognition of 2022 being the platinum jubilee year.
If you wanted to celebrate the Jubilee later into the year, the Royal Collection is also selling a Corgi decoration you can put on your Christmas tree, which has gold threads to detail the Queen's favourite breed holding a bunch of Jubilee-themed balloons.
Student Edward Roberts, 20, created the emblem to define the Queen's Platinum Jubilee after winning the competition to design a logo run by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London last year.
Mr Roberts, from Southwell, Nottinghamshire, a graphic and communication design student at Leeds University, was given the top spot by a judging panel of artists and experts who praised the way the emblem captures the 'continuous thread' of the Queen's 70-year reign.
