3. Tiffany Sterling Silver Honeycomb and Bee Bud Vase
Given to: Elizabeth II, the queen
From Michelle Obama with love
Estimated worth: $3,500*
One of the Queen’s greatest gift-givers was the former First Lady Michelle Obama, and it’s obvious that she gave careful consideration to selecting a wonderful, themed present for the queen. Obama presented the Queen with a sterling silver honeycomb and bee bloom vase from the renowned Tiffany & Co. Over the years, fine sterling silver has come to represent Tiffany, and this bee vase was among their greatest designs.

Obama sent the Queen a gift box containing two little pots of organic honey, a jar of honey butter from the White House Kitchen Garden, a candle, and lemon verbena tea, in addition to the vase.
