"When two countries miss to discuss political matters there is a are a number of formalities that take place – the handshakes, the photo opportunities and of course the exchanging of gifts. This act of gift giving presents a unique opportunity to present a memento that represents the culture and beliefs of a country, a small but symbolic item. However, whilst on occasion this is exactly what is achieved, sometimes the gift that is given falls quite short of such significance!

This infographic explores some of the best and worst diplomatic gifts given between countries. From the tulips that The Netherlands gives annually to Canada to the frankly bizarre grasshopper shaped wine cooler France gave to Britain, some presents have struck the right chord, whilst others have definitely missed the mark!

So take a look to gather inspiration for you next birthday present or simply to revel in the poor judgement from those at the very top of political influence!"
