GQ has assembled an enthusiastic important group of celebrities including Judd Apatow, Stephen Curry, Future, Tracy Morgan, Amy Schumer, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and the cast of Hamilton to thank President Obama for his years of service to the country. The gifts range from classic and stately (a watch; golf clubs), to highly fancy (an oil painting of Karl Rove; specialty money), to super casual (dances moves, In and Out burgers) and also condoms. Guess who those are from? Did you guess Amy Schumer? Good job! You’re right.
No matter what gift-giving problems you might be facing, here’s something that you can take comfort in: they are probably less fraught than the ones of anyone who needs to give a present to the president. A suitable gift for your mother-in-law’s retirement party or your boss’s birthday is easily solved with gift guides, but there are no guides for a suitable presidential present.
GQ won’t let you down: we assembled nearly a dozen celebrities including Judd Apatow, Future, Stephen Curry, Tracy Morgan, Amy Schumer, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and the cast of Hamilton to thank President Obama for his years of service to the country. As with all gifts, it’s the thought that counts. But because it’s the president, those thoughts better be the best ones available.
Of course, be sure to coordinate with other gift-givers to make sure that the two of you don’t present your president with the same gift. Each person only needs one oil painting of Karl Rove angrily realizing Obama won a second term, for example.
The gifts range from classic (golf clubs), to highly fancy (specialty money). They can come with a built-in compliment, like Tracy Morgan’s who gives a watch to Obama’s “timeless” work. As long as they’re thoughtful, don’t shy away from the casual gift (a generous pour of sprite, dances moves, In and Out burgers). And if you’re a comedian who can pull off a great joke, feel free to give away a sleeve of condoms. Guess who those are from? Did you guess Amy Schumer? Good job! You’re right.
