Obama’s Gift: Almost Perfect for the Queen

What a great problem to have. I’m going to visit the Queen of England and what do I give her for a gift. I laughed out loud when I read the editorial in the Los Angeles Times. “What do you get the Queen? Here’s a woman who has everything and even carries a purse to meetings in her own home.”

An IPOD? I don’t think so. Maybe a nice gift for one of her grandchildren. As a matter of fact, it turns out that one of them gave her one a couple years ago. By the way, that’s the perfect clue for gift giving. Give people the things they give. Subconsciously they are giving the things they really want for themselves.

So if President Obama followed that rule of thumb. He would have given her a nicely framed picture. Then the problem comes up. Do I give her a picture of her with George Bush when he was receiving that glare from her for joking that she was old enough to be around since the revolutionary war?

Actually the IPOD did include some pictures of her and Prince Phillip while they were visiting the United States on a recent trip. So that was close but I like my idea better. This frame is a digital frame and you can put hundreds of photos on it and let it run so you have an ongoing slide show. I have one in the family room and we turn it on whenever visitors come by. Amazing thing about it is they always notice their photo among the hundreds that are “sliding!”

Or if you wanted to get the idea across what a budget minded President you are — in the midst of this global recession — how about a credit card size Hand Sanitizer? After all, think about all the germs a Queen can pick up shaking all those hands day after day. Here’s an idea that cost less the two bucks. As a matter of fact he could have given her a gross of sanitizers with the USA imprinted on one side and the Royal Coat of Arms on the other. She could have handed them out to others who have the ongoing chore of greeting and hand shaking. What an idea. We can help stop the spread of influenza as we continue working for world peace.
