Royal Wedding Attendees Are Actually Auctioning Off Their Gift Bags on eBay

Like all good hosts, Megan Markle and Prince Harry didn’t send guests of the royal wedding home empty-handed. Those members of the public with official invites to Windsor Castle grounds walked away with official royal wedding totes monogrammed with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s initials and filled with commemorative shortbread, a royal wedding-themed chocolate coin, and a magnet, among other trinkets, all in a blue-and-gold color scheme, according to The Sun.

But if you weren’t there in person to watch the happy couple make things official this weekend, you might still be able to get your hands on this piece of memorabilia: Some of the exclusive totes are already popping up on eBay. One royal gift bag currently being auctioned off on the site already has bids above £1,020 (about $1,200).

But before you get angry about royal wedding guests profiting by selling off pieces of the day to the highest bidder, at least one of the eBay sellers did include the caveat, “I forgot to mention all money raised will go to charity.” Not all the auctioneers are as altruistic, though. One eBay listing that has hit bids upwards of £7,300 (a little more than $8,500) makes no mention of giving the profits away.

Several people on Twitter voiced their disapproval of royal wedding guests selling their gift bags online. “It should be an honour and a privilege to get invited to something like this and yet some people want to capitalise from it. Parasites!! Its stuff like this that puts me off people,” one person wrote.

Another person, who presumably attended the wedding, wrote, “I will treasure my Royal Wedding gift bag forever, I can’t believe people are selling,” alongside of pic of her with her bag.

Even if you can’t afford to bid on that priceless royal shortbread, there are still plenty of ways you can look back at the royal wedding now that the festivities are over. You can flip through, and swoon over, the official royal wedding photos. Or start working on perfecting your own version of Markle’s messy wedding bun. It’s never too late to get your royal wedding fix.

'The Mindy Project' Is Auctioning off Some of Mindy's Best Costumes

Alas, The Mindy Project is coming to an end on Tuesday, but there’s one bright spot in the unyielding bleakness brought about by its finale: Mindy Lahiri’s incredible, colorful costumes and accessories are headed to auction. You read that right—and if you’ve spent the past six seasons lusting after Mindy’s wardrobe as much as you’ve followed the plot, you’re going to want in on this. There’s just one catch: You gotta act fact. Really fast.

On Monday, Hulu announced that it partnered with Universal Television and ScreenBid to auction off 45 items from the show, including costumes worn by star and producer Mindy Kaling. (If you’re not obsessing over the clothes, you should also known that they’re also auctioning off a few props.)

The auction includes the Dolce & Gabbana lemon print dress worn by Kaling in the “Princeton Charming” episode from season four, which comes with a matching yellow cardigan and Christian Louboutin white-and-tan pumps.

Or, you could try and bid on the Hervé Léger hot pink bandage dress Kaling wore in the iconic “My Cool Christian Boyfriend” episode, way back in season one. (The show is also auctioning off the very same dress in black for all your holiday LBD needs, real or conveniently invented for this occasion.)

There’s also the double-breasted magenta dress with rhinestone buttons that was made specifically by costume designer Salvador Perez for Mindy to wear when she lunched with Chris’ mom in season three’s “Annette Castellano Is My Nemesis.” Less lunch-with-the-boyfriend’s-mom is a very cozy Wildfox star knit sweater that was worn at the end of the show’s very first episode.

Other insanely wearable Mindy outfits from the show that are up for auction include a Mono B horse print sleeveless blouse, which comes with a black and white plaid Free People skirt and a yellow I Look cardigan; a black Wildfox No. 9 sequin knit sweater with black Plush heart print leggings.

There’s also a great weekend outfit in there: the AG purple scoop neck T-shirt, bebe red leatherette moto jacket, a fringed suede purse, and Ralph Lauren suede brown booties that Mindy wore to a music festival when she was dating DJ Sacrament back in season two. Bidding on that one is currently at $50, so don’t think this incredible sale is going to break the bank.

Bids right now range from $50 to $500, and according to the Los Angeles Times, 10 of the auction’s items will benefit the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network—so we’re pretty sure any potential splurges are justifiable. The auction will kick off on Monday at 9 P.M. PST and close on November 27.

Check out the full list of auction items here—you might as well just grab your credit card while you’re at it, TBH.
