You haven’t really remembered until you’ve drank a Remembrance Poppy cappuccino
It is important to remember our troops. It’s even more important to let everyone in your home, the park, or the office know that you are remembering the most.
So, true to the traditions of modern Britain, here’s a list of novelty items you can buy instead of doing anything particularly meaningful.
Some products do not offer a donation to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal. For official merchandise you can donate here.
1. “Pull the Pin” Spiced Rum from the Royal British Legion
For £39.99, you can forget to remember with the Royal British Legion’s “Pull the Pin” Spiced Rum.
The Pull The Pin 100 special edition rum incorporates “10 specially selected spices and botanicals to create a well-balanced and smooth spiced rum”.
2. The “Poppy Peacebom Seedbom”
The best way to remember is with a grenade. Alongside your “Pull the Pin” spiced rum, why not brighten your garden with Kabloom’s Peacebom.
On their website, Kabloom say the “Seed bomb” contains corn poppies. And that “Poppies are a symbol of wartime remembrance, peace, and hope.”
To activate, “First shake the seedbom a few times to distribute seeds inside.
“Trigger by pulling the pin.
“Throw or drop onto bare open ground that’s in need of beautification.”
3. Remembrance Day Poppy Front Car Seat Covers

Last year, visitors to Bexhill Seafront were invited to decorate an ornamental car as part of the town’s Remembrance commemorations.
Guests had to B.Y.O.P (bring your own poppy), the council having been unable to provide any, due to covid safety precautions.
The car is not for sale, but good inspiration for those wishing to remember in transit.
