What will George W. Bush give Laura Bush for Christmas?

Voided

I am voiding this market because there seems to be no apparent announcement of when this could be reported. Instead of holding up everyone's money for an unknown length of time it is best for everyone to have their wagers voided.

Background:

Background: Usually there is a small news item regarding what the president of the US gives the first lady for Christmas.

It is usually a small, token gift. Last year George W. Bush gave Laura a purse and small silver tray.

What will Dubya give Laura Bush this Christmas?

Clarification: "Art" includes painting, prints, sculpture or other fine art credited to a particular artist. Houseware/decorative item might be a generic knick-knack or tchotchke credited to a manufacturer and not a particular artist.
