First, it was the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, who got a set of 25 classic American movies as a gift by none other than the America's President, Barack Obama. No kidding. It really was a set of movies that was been gifted during his historic visit to White House. Now if that's is too much to handle, some thing spicy, spicier enough that will let your jaws drop down across the table. Barack, who is said to have arrived at London to attend the G20 summit, gifted the Queen, an i Pod. That's right – an i Pod.

The 82-year-old Queen, an i Pod fan, who already holds a 6GB silver model, was presented the gadget containing photos and a video of her last visit to America in 2007. The whole thanks-giving venture that the President has started seems to be drawing a lot of eye brows from people far and wide, and they, too, seems to be enjoying their part. After all it's none but the president who is in the show, you see. 'O hail', Obama.

Now, as the ritual had already, the Queen, too, couldn't help but take part in the gift-giving venture. She, in return, gave the first couple what she always gives a visiting dignitary, a signed photo of herself and Prince Philip in a silver frame. What a moment for both the couples. Spirit of America lives.

The American leader's thoughtfulness was further unveiled when he gave the royals a rare signed songbook by Richard Rodgers – one of Her Majesty's favourite composer. With so much of happening around, how could etiquette experts like Anna Post (Emily Post Institute) keep herself away. "For me, the i Pod only works if he has some catchy reason why he gave it as a gift," the Politico quoted her as saying.
