British gift bag125.pngAfter a long session of saving the global financial system, world leaders deserve a treat to take home with them, but with rioters stalking the streets outside, something far more low-key than the gift bags found at the Grammys is called for. And in that spirit of international cooperation, host Gordon Brown presents the G-20 goodie bag!

According to the U.K. Guardian:

"After tomorrow's dinner, Gordon Brown will present goodie bags that will showcase 'British creativity'. They will include a tie designed by one of three British tailors (Ozwald Boateng, Timothy Everest and Richard James), a tea towel from Ulster-based linen producer Thomas Ferguson Irish Linen, Kelly Hoppen candles, and Rococo chocolates."

No word yet on alternative gift for female G-20 members that may not fancy wearing a tie. - George White
