What is presented with great actors, singers and politicians?

[SergeiSK]

This man can get himself all that he needs, so please him a gift is not so simple. Especially difficult to have friends and beloved of wealthy and successful people - movie stars, musicians, politicians and athletes. However, some people - generous or very original thinker - still manages to please those who have literally everything and even more.
For example, the soloist of the Rolling Stones Mick Jagger once presented with

gold toothbrush from high-grade 18-karat gold. Thing, with which the famous singer, could try to clean off my teeth from years of tobacco raid, cost about 4 thousand dollars. And the actress Scarlett Johansson, apparently deciding that her own teeth beloved actor Ryan Reynolds is not enough, presented him with a birthday a wisdom tooth. Part of the body beautiful Scarlett was gilded and hung on a gold chain. On the whole Hollywood gift rustled at least a week, especially as the official spokesperson confirmed the star of its extravagant act.
Equally amusing gift received and Kevin Costner. One of the most affluent people in the American film industry has received a gift from the Lakota Sioux Indians, who liked Costner film "Dances with Wolves", a blanket. I must say that the Indians use the blanket as clothing, and beautifully decorated instance is quite expensive.
Success with the representatives of the stronger sex also enjoy military headgear. For example, the famous last Argentinian footballer Diego Maradona was very touched by receiving a few years ago by then-Cuban leader Fidel Castro during a personal meeting khaki cap autographed by Comandante. But Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, when in 2005 they arrived in Moscow on Halloween, gave black fur fur cap a la Russe. Selebritiz were pleased Prezent.
However, sometimes even the most successful men received as a gift something that themselves could not afford. At the dawn of a novel multi-year French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, in those days still poor, although a talented newcomer in the fashion world, has received from his friend and future partner, Pierre Berge, a truly priceless gift: Berger, through its ties bought the Saint Laurent of his military service and provided an opportunity to engage in fashion. Subsequently, the friends got rich and gave each other antiques and paintings by famous artists.
The politicians also exchanged gifts, with the most unexpected. For example, not so long ago, Vladimir Putin received a gift of a live crocodile. Donor - Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin - explained so unexpected presenting it with symbolism: the crocodile can not back away, and always goes forward, as befits this policy. Exotic animals and give celebrities: actress Elizabeth Taylor once gave the singer Michael Jackson of India a trained elephant.
Winner of Academy Award-winning, 41-year-old Halle Berry chose the best gift for a man a few more traditional means of transportation - the car. But it was not just a car, a Mercedes for 150 thousand dollars. This grant was awarded 31-year-old male model Gabriel Aubry, beloved actresses, because she had become pregnant from him. Truly feminist Present.
However, women in love do not stop either before the price of gifts, or before a bad rumor, condemning them for being too generous. For thirty years, which David Beckham said in Madrid, in the famous Buddha Bar, Victoria Beckham, former soloist of the group Spice Girls, gave her husband watch for 15 thousand pounds sterling.
But this is not the limit of love oblivion: in 1962, Marilyn Monroe, does not care about public opinion, presented to President Kennedy's gold Rolex Oyster engraved with "Jack with love as always. Marilyn. May 29, 1962. Under the lid clock was hidden piece of poetry, which the president did not read it - fearing for his reputation, he ordered his assistant O'Donnell to get rid of a present as soon as it got. Recently, a bad gift to withdraw from the auction, as the gold pocket watch from the London watchmaker James McCabe, who gave the hero of the Napoleonic Wars, Admiral Horatio Nelson of his subordinates. The clock was engraved with the inscription: "Admiral Lord Nelson in honor of the victory of the officers. August 20, 1805.
Of course, watch, especially antique - a valuable gift and durable, the test of time. But sometimes the best gift - this is just a few minutes, a gift from the heart. Not so long ago, the celebrated singer Madonna, apparently not trusting his own voice in this crucial moment, asked Sir Elton John to sing a special song for her husband, director Guy Ritchie. The song is called Song For Guy. The value of the personal intervention kept it even tabloids - apparently sincere feelings of respect, which was made a gift.
