What Might One Gift a King?

Whenever a State Visit is in the news, I find myself imagining what kind of gift could rise to such an occasion — not just an object, but a collection of stories.

My idea? A series of story boxes — each capturing a chapter in the shared history between the U.S. and the UK since American independence.

From the Treaty of Paris (1784) to John Adams’ first mission (1785) … the Monroe Doctrine (1826) … Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in 1887 … and even Queen Elizabeth II’s bicentennial visit in 1976 — each box would hold a piece of history, a reminder of how shared stories carry across generations.

Together, the boxes become more than keepsakes. They form an arc of history — proof that across wars, alliances, and cultural exchange, our nations have carried one another forward.

Because the most meaningful gifts don’t just commemorate a moment — they tell the story of a journey shared.

When you open a gift like this, you’re not just unwrapping objects — you’re unwrapping history.
