Royal Wedding Gift Bags For Sale On eBay Can Now Be Yours
Even if you weren’t invited to the royal wedding, you can still take home a gift bag from Meghan and Harry’s big day. The gift bags, emblazoned with “H&M” and the date of the event, was filled with goodies like snacks and mementos including a magnet for your fridge and some Scottish shortbread.
The gift bags or swag bags were given out to the 600 guests who attended the church service at St. George’s Chapel and to 2500 people allowed on the grounds of Windsor Castle to observe the festivities, says PageSix.
Several attendees quickly decided to sell their gift bags on eBay in the hope of making a few thousand dollars.
“I was one of the 600 ‘honoured public guests’ invited to attend the Wedding at Windsor Castle and I am offering both my own official correspondence that led up to the day together with the exclusive memorabilia of a truly inspirational day.”
This post included photos of all of the goodies, and that individual is asking $1,280 for the bag and its contents. Many of the people selling their gift bags seem to be among the Windsor residents invited to observe the royal wedding from within the palace grounds.
