Flog It Blog It, Some Olympic Fun Stuff!


Molly The Wally with her water bottle.

Funny London 2012 Olympic souvenirs. 


Being the host nation of the Olympic Games, the souvenir industry has gone into overdrive in order to produce all manner of unusual and dare we say a bit tacky Olympic themed mementos. Here is our selection for your delectation. 


Illustrator Toby Leigh, has created a series of Olympic souvenirs called ‘That Big Event London’ for those with a sense of humour. 



Show some Olympic spirit with this fun and slightly eccentric five-rings fascinator by Maclaren Millinery.


Giving Usain Bolt a run for his money, this pup looks more than ready for the race of his life by Agnetha Sjögren.


Nothing says Great Britain like a great biscuit, so get dunking in true Olympic style!


Delicious sports-themed biscuits by Biscuiteers are the perfect edible accompaniment to all the Olympic action.


This vintage bone china plate is perfect for Olympic themed tea parties to serve those biscuits on.


You can sup your tea with this Winner themed mug. 

If the Olympic excitement gets too much, simply bury your face in this Team GB cushion.


Even if your idea of a long-distance run is up the stairs to the bathroom, you can still be a medal winner with this tacky but fun necklace.

Support your favourite sport with these fun temporary tattoos.



If you are out about in London, sport your own VIP badge.

And lastly my absolute favourite........






the hideous Olympic 2012 mascots. I going to purchase one and after ripping its’ face off, I am going to de-stuff it in record time. I’m going for Olympic gold in the disfiguring and disemboweling of the ugly little Cyclops!

And for the Blogville Olympics events today.........

Gymnastic event by Madi!

Couch potato peeling event by Lily Belle!

    Molly, the biscuits look quite nice actually. I like the sparkly hair thingy. What are those mascot thingys?? They look like aliens. Do you have aliens there? Are the aliens allowed to be in the Olympics? Just one more question, is the guy on that plate nekked and why is he nekked? I promise I am done with questions.

    I agree the mascots are pretty weird. Im a special education teacher and our summer theme is all Olympics . The mascots are featured and every time I see them I think who the heck designed these

    YOU are too, too FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh Miz Molly, you are SPOT ON with your humor and dare I say, sarcasm? WE HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL in watching the games. I love your idea for the pillow to stuff your face in; there have been some moments that I cannot bear to watch and as for the CYCLOPS......may I ask who designed all of the art? During the opening ceremonies, I had to laugh at the contraption that the women wore who were carrying the signs with the name of each country. But all in all, what a great CITY, great moments and to know you are OUT THERE SOMEWHERE is so special.

    CARRY ON! Anita

    MOL Molly
    Mom loves the tote bags. We have wondered how the everyday person is handling the extra busy traffic in London. Those bags say it all.

    OK now for a totally different topic.
    OMD Molly you have the most beautiful black furs they just glisten in your picture today. Mom says she expects they feel like silk too.
    Hugs Madi your BFFF

    Can you also buy one of those horrible dog suits and pee on it. I don't think dogs should wear them. I would destroy the creepy mascot too!

    We totally love the "hideous Olympic 2012 mascots"! We want one of those, maybe we´ll ask our human to buy them for us to play. We´ll bury them where nobody will ever find them =)
