Given to: Elizabeth II, the queen
Given by: President Xi Jinping of China Estimated Value: $100,000* As we all know, the most meaningful gifts have heartfelt notes attached. The Queen received a stunning model ship known as the Vessel of Friendship, made of gold, enamel, and oak, in 2015 from Chinese President Xi Jinping.

More significantly, the superbly built ship was extremely rare and expensive, serving as a symbol of the relationship between China and Britain. Something like this is nearly impossible to value, yet considering its materials and provenance, it might fetch up to $100,000. Without a doubt, you cannot purchase a duplicate at Target.
