article: With the 2015 general election just over two weeks away, it's natural to expect flyers, bumper stickers and perhaps even the odd car flag to pop up across the nation. However, you might be more surprised to see shot glasses emblazoned with David Cameron's face, UKIP pendents and even party leader underwear appearing on shelves. This year's election has bought with it a bizarre batch of merchandise in a bid to sway the nation. Scroll down for video . David Cameron is said to have watched Bake Off in the past which could explain these cake cases . Many of the unusual trinkets can be purchased on the official party websites which often include a 'gift' category, should you want to bring politics into their special day. Perhaps dad might like an SNP decanter for his wine, or mum could bake in her new set of Conservative cupcake cases, while Ukip have focused on a more wearable range of accessories. We're not entirely sure that any of these will fly off the shelves but here we round up the weirdest official - and unofficial -  collectibles as we prepare to go to the polls. CONSERVATIVE CUPCAKE CASES . David Cameron has previously revealed that he has watched The Great British Bake Off, which might explain these rather pricey cupcake cases. The pack of 36 patriotic cases, in Tory blue with a Union Jack design, comes in at £5 a pop. UKIP PENDANT . We know it isn't advisable to wear your heart on your sleeve but what about your political opinion around your neck? This Cornish Pewter pendant is available from the party's store for £12 and is described as an 'ideal gift for Ukip enthusiasts'. Political party underwear insures that politicians remain the butt of the joke . LEADER UNDERWEAR . Political leaders are used to being the butt of the jokes, and one retailer has taken this a step further. Twisted Tee, has created a range of 'political man pants' - capacious white garments printed with the faces of the party leaders. The pair of Nick Clegg undies are described in ironic terms: 'Hand printed gingerly in London on to 100 per cent white cotton Y front. 'For men who don't quite know whether they dress to the right or left.' DAVID CAMERON SHOT GLASS . The David Cameron shot glass is one way of getting you through the lengthy process . A set of David Cameron shot glasses could be the perfect excuse for a general election drinking game. Now CafePress is offering the custom ceramic vessels emblazoned with the Prime Minister's picture for £11 each. Knock back a shot for every time he says 'hard working people' however, and you may find yourself needing to make cuts of your own. LIBERAL DEMOCRATS 18TH BIRTHDAY CARDS . Keen to snap up new voters the minute they become of age, the Lib Dems have created their own 18th birthday cards. The plain cards simply say, 'Wishing You a Happy Birthday' above the figure '18' written out in blue and filled with the party's yellow bird logo. If anyone knows a large number of 17-year-olds with birthdays looming, the party's official store offers the cards in packs of 100 for £34. SNP PICNIC BLANKET . The SNP picnic blanket is the ideal way to showcase your political opinion in the great outdoors . The SNP, with a revitalised Nicola Sturgeon at the helm, are dedicated to getting their message out there. So dedicated in fact that they are not prepared to miss a single opportunity to spread the word. The foldaway tartan picnic rug allows you to air your political views in the great outdoors for the price of £45. SNP HIGH VIZ JACKET . The SNP aren't missing a trick when it comes to merchandising. With this handy high viz vest you can showcase your political orientation with pride in all hazardous situations and for the meagre price of £8. The e-cigarette liquid comes in five flavours one for each of these leaders . ELECTION E-CIGARETTE FLAVOURS . In a bizarre addition to the already unusual election memorabilia being sold, Totally Wicked's Red Label has produced five e-cigarette liquids pairing with five of the party leaders. Varieties include Cameron's Eton Mess, a strawberry and meringue flavour inspired by the PM's old school. Miliband's Rocky Red is based on the seaside treat of teeth-cracking rock as 'being leader of the opposition is often described as the worst job in British politics, so where better to escape to for a break than the great British seaside, famous not just for being a great holiday destination but also for hosting many party political conferences.' For an e-cigarette inspired by Nigel Farage, the site says: 'We all know Nigel Farage likes his ciggies and a pint, now it turns out he is also a vaper! So we've made this e-liquid especially for him. A full tobacco flavour with a dash of beer, topped with a note of espresso.' The official Conservative shop is selling baby clothes meaning they can start their opinions early . MINI THATCHER BABY CLOTHES . Many parents are known to push their views on to their offspring and in this case they're starting early. The official Conservative website stocks baby clothes including Babygros and bibs with Little Iron Lady (Margaret Thatcher's famous nickname printed on the front.) Baby's first election might be more appropriate. You can now own Nick Clegg's apology on MP3 with proceeds going towards a children's charity . NICK CLEGG, I'M SORRY- THE SINGLE . Re-live Nick Clegg's apology over the Liberal Democrats' climbdown on tuition fees in full auto-tune glory with this MP3 edition with an album cover mocked up to resemble The Clash's seminal album, London Calling. Available to buy for £0.99, the proceeds go towards The Children's Hospital Charity. SNP DECANTER . It appears that the SNP area about ready to brand just about anything. This crystal decanter engraved with 'Scottish N Proud' would make an excellent novelty gift during the election. With a £75 price tag, however, it may make an awkward heirloom if the SNP aren't elected. But on election night itself, what better way to pass the time as the votes are counted. UKIP LADIES SILK SCARF . Want an elegant way to showcase your support for Nigel Farage and his party? Look no further than Ukip's silk 'pound' logo printed on a pale, sheer scarf. The party's website assures that it is a 'delicate chiffon' in a 'gentle lilac' so as to avoid being too ostentatious. And although it may feature a pound sign pattern, it is a thrifty purchase coming in at £3. The UKIP silk scarf is supposed to be the sophisticated way of showing your support for the party . These life sized cardboard cutouts make a great addition to the office...apparently . PARTY LEADER CARDBOARD CUT-OUT . Some might say there's not much difference between our biggest political figures and these cardboard cut-outs. Fortunately we can find out for ourselves as the  free-standing Ed Miliband, David Cameron and Nick Clegg figures are available at Amazon for £29.99. For those of you unsure of what you would do with a life size political leader, the website provides the following suggestions: 'Suitable for gifts, bedroom decoration, home theatre decoration, wall decoration, kid's bedrooms, office desks and parties.' Choc on Choc have decorated their latest offerings with Nick (left) Ed (centre) and David (right) PARTY LEADER CONFECTIONARY . Choc on Choc have embellished their artisan chocolates with a rather unusual decoration: the faces of three of the party leaders. David Cameron’s bar is studded with blueberry pieces, Ed Miliband’s comes in a red raspberry flavour and the Nick Clegg edition is filled with chunks of honeycomb. SNP TEA LIGHT HOLDER . The SNP tea-light holder literally allows you to hold a candle to Nicola Sturgeon . What better way to hold a candle to your favourite party than with an actual candle. It's less ostentatious than some other SNP souvenirs but it still has a certain glow... for £15 a holder. UKIP DOG T-SHIRT . We're assuming this is for a canine who is not a Farage fan judging by the gesture on the reverse, but last time we checked dogs can't vote anyway. But if you wish to cause a stir in the park opt for this £17.95 tee from Zazzle.
