Further details

Andy Miller, an author and editor, co-host of the podcast Backlisted, who has reached international of crazy golf. who tried to read 50 classic books in a single year, offers a burst balloon and an empty hunny-pot, which is Eeyore's birthday present in the book Winnie the Pooh, because Eeyore is his favourite character in the story and he thinks there should be a "room for gloom".

Stephen Fry, comedian, actor, author, and star of shows including Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster, A Bit of Fry & Laurie and QI, gives the Museum a simple bunch of grapes. The reason being that while writing a book about Greek mythology, where he learned about the origins of the wine god Dionysus, and the relationship between myth and modern language.
