What did Matt Give the Pope on the Today Show?

Two days ago, Matt Lauer from the Today Show met with Pope Benedict XVI. Matt gave the Pope a grey box with a light grey ribbon as a token of his appreciation. Being a connoisseur of nice things, I know this was definitely a signature Steuben Glass box! But what was inside? According to Steuben, Matt gave the Pope Steuben's "Curious Cat." I guess the Pope is a cat lover?! Either way, it is a beautiful crystal glass sculpture - fit for a pope! You can purchase this same cat at www.salliehome.com, the same store who provided the bedding for Pope John Paul II during his 1994 visit to St. Louis, MO!

I have another great Mother's Day gift idea or Birthday gift or an anytime of the year gift for a wonderful mother or parent. It is the flawless Penguin Parent and Child tabletop sculpture by Steuben Glass.
According to Steuben Glass, Penguin parents raise their chick in warmth and safety, protecting them from the frigid climate and surrounding predators.

The strength of this bond is so strong that their beaks become one. This is the perfect gift to show your love and appreciation to a caring parent, the one who raised you, stuck with you through thick and thin, and still loves you no matter what. It is the ultimate gift for the ultimate parent. Click here to view all of Steuben Glass' tabletop accessories available at Sallie home.
