Pelosi to celebrate the big 7-0 on Friday (Help needed to suggest gifts)
The Hill ^ | March 24, 2010 | Christina Wilkie

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has a big birthday coming up on Friday, and after passing historic healthcare reform legislation this week, she's got plenty to celebrate.

But while her office is remaining mum on the Speaker's plans, the owner of Washington's toniest gift shop has some great ideas for birthday presents.

Keith Lipert counts royalty, ambassadors, CEOs, and members of Congress among the clients who come to his Georgetown shop for help deciding on the perfect, and most diplomatic gifts. He's too discreet to name them, of course, but he shared his suggestions for what Pelosi's colleagues might give her.

He advises to "consider asking a few people who admire her to inscribe a leather-bound Constitution, which only costs $20, thanking her for her service."

For personal friends and people who've "been in the trenches with [Pelosi]," Lipert said that, "women can give her a necklace, but I'd recommend to a man that he give her a brooch. And for a spring birthday, a cherry blossom symbolizes Washington and renewal."

But -- but -- I thought it was unconstitutional to "mandate" the American people to do/buy anything? Oh wait...
