During his visit to Washington, Gordon Brown wanted to give something special to Barack Obama to symbolise Britain's special relationship with America.
The PM presented Obama with a pen holder crafted of wood from the HMS Gannet, an anti-slave ship previously named the HMS President. The Gannet was a sister ship to HMS Resolute, whose timbers were used to construct the desk in the Oval Office.
Obama's gift to the PM? Eh, not so special.
It was a collection of 25 classic American films, which you can find at Blockbuster or Netflix.
Downing Street hasn't said which titles were included, but the Daily Mail story on the gift exchange includes a list of 25 DVDs the American Film Institute recently prepared for the White House. Two of Obama's stated favourites (according to his Facebook page), Godfather II and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, are absent.
