Okay guys, when it comes to donations how do you go about delivering?  Is your donation delivered in an envelope or just laid out in the location set by the provider?  

Ladies, does it matter how the donation is delivered?

I know for me I usually put the donation in a thank you card.  Makes it a little more personal and says thank you for a great session.

I don't care if you have an envelope or not (although it's nice that I haven't had to buy any envelopes in more than 2 years).

Just don't try to put the money directly in my hands - that makes me uncomfortable.  Not just for LE reasons (if they're in my room, I'm already in trouble), but just because it seems to put a damper on things.  Putting it on any flat surface in the room is fine.

I won't place the donation until after the fun has ended.  Some may have an issue with that, so I will have to pass on them.  I always leave it on a table in clear sight, & never mention it. Works for me

I feel like we have taken care of all business before you arrived and want our time together to feel more personal.

That way there is no counting and it only takes a second to lay it in plain view.  That is if you remember which pocket it is in. SMH

....doesn't matter much as long as it's all there lol.  Handing it to me directly feels weird.

Lol I knew somone who got there $ in a ziploc bag filled with candy! lol

Just kidding...

Generally unless a lady's website requests an envelope I place it on the closest table, counter or dresser.

there was this one time at band camp....LOL

Seriously, I wouldn't hand it directly to anyone.  I like to enjoy our time as planned and I do like it when I walk out of the room I still see the envelope laying where I left it.  Shows respect on both ends.

Card, gift box, envelope or just laying it on a flat surface
just not by hand..
purchase a reloadable green dot card with their donation on it...However having to call and verify that the donation is actually there can be a pain!! lol

I have clear instructions on my website. I expect first-timers to leave their donation in an envelope and place it near my purse (or on a table) at the beginning of our meeting. I don't acknowledge, inspect, or even touch that envelope until after our play time has ended.

Sweet men that have seen me before and some guys that are seasoned hobbyists will sometimes just place their donation under the edge of my purse, the TV, a book, a bottle of wine, or something else that will assure it doesn't get lost during the evening activities. That's all fine also. As long as I see that it's there, I won't address it until after our session.

Doing things this way certainly makes the experience more romantic and personable, and less like a business transaction. Don't you all think so?

LOL!  I had one lil lady take the card that was in the envelope, thank me and then throw the $$$ in the trash with the envelope)  Another lil lady just left without the donation---she did a lot of wiggling and hard breathing and woke up the neighbors during our dance, sooooo, think she was addled and must have thought that since she got to go to the well numerous times that that was good enough---ROFLMAO---I made sure they both got the donations)  I don't rip off the sweet thangs the way those two did me last week!!!  GRRRRRR!!!
