Woolworths had come up with a raft of souvenirs including the traditional plates, mugs, spoons and tea towels as well as a special mobile phone, fluffy slippers and a computer mouse mat.
One plate design revealed last November featured pictures of the couple surrounded by a gilt edge.
Beneath the pictures was the message "Celebrating the Royal marriage of William and Kate", with a space left for the month, date and year.
The company said it hoped to avoid a repeat of Prince Charles and Camilla's wedding, where it was caught short by the brief engagement period and missed out on £3million in sales.
It had plans in place to manufacture and send out thousands of items from the William and Kate range to shops across Britain within 48 hours of an announcement.
