What gift would you give to US President Obama?

A china tea set, a dog toy, and signed photos of the Queen - all gifts given to US President Barack Obama in 2011.

They weren't on his Christmas list, but rather brought to the White House by leaders of other countries.

The newly published list of Presidential presents includes silver bracelets given by UK Prime Minister David Cameron to President Obama's daughters, Sasha and Malia.

Traditionally though, the President doesn't get to hold on to the gifts.

Instead, they are usually kept in the US National Archives.

Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny gave President Obama a bowl filled with traditional shamrocks.

Presidential presents

Queen Elizabeth II gave Mr Obama a red leather-bound book entitled A Selection of Papers From the Royal Archives 1834-1897.

For First Lady Michelle Obama she gave a brooch with gold leaves and coral flowers.

Prince Charles gave the Obamas a 15-piece china tea set.

As well as the silver bracelets, Prime Minister David Cameron gave the family a large tapestry with an eagle and American flag design, and a "bone-shaped chew toy with United Kingdom flag", presumably for Bo, the family's four-year-old dog.
