Jubilee souvenirs: terrible celebratory tat - in pictures

Jubilee tat: The Art Group
Royal Mail 1p framed art print, £65
Don't tell anyone, but you can get amazing miniature versions of this print at local newsagents for less than 1% of the price. A first-class product, but you'll have to track down a tiny frame without our help.

Jubilee tat: Diamond jubilee bellows
Diamond jubilee bellows, £350
These bellows fuel fires by blowing hot air - much like a certain prince we shall not be naming for fear of legal action. The bellows feature a specially designed tartan in honour of the Jubilee. Well, it makes a change from the ubiquitous red, white and blue.

Jubilee tat: Queens head jelly mould
Queen's head jelly mould, £10
Another one we'd love to hate but just can't, there's something deeply attractive about this jelly mould. Perhaps it's because a wobbly jelly version of the Queen is a bit like your very own Madame Tussauds wax work. And you can eat it.
