4-5. A $16,250 dinnerware set. The most expensive gift on the list, an 85-piece porcelain dining set, came from Chinese President Xi Jinping. Xi also got Trump the second most expensive gift, a $14,400 "paper panel" featuring calligraphy inside a very fancy box.
6. A cigar box ... for the first family's grandchildren. For some reason, the king of Jordan got a $540 humidor for Trump's 9 grandchildren, the oldest of whom is 11.
7. A statue of a manatee. The crown prince of Abu Dhabi got Trump a "bronze sculpture of a manatee rising headfirst." It's one of a 200-run limited series.
8. A photo of the King of Saudi Arabia. You can probably guess who this is from.
Presidents are technically not supposed to take gifts from foreign governments, but they typically transfer the gifts to the National Archives. That's because, as the Wednesday list notes next to every ridiculous present, "non-acceptance would cause embarrassment to donor and U.S. government." Read the whole list here.
