You know, that is a darned fine question (and not a bad suggestion either...or at least I don't think so...I'd need an opinion from the lovely ladies).  Most of my play time is on the road, so the ice breaker is often more a question of whether or not I can find my way to a shop before the appointment.

Your lips will do just fine for me

Nothing breaks the ice like a nice kiss and for me it won't stop till we say good-bye.

I gave the ladies little handcuff key chains.  I thought it was fun, cute and went with my username here.

Since I take 2 gifts, I guess they could be considered ice-breakers, as I normally let her open them shortly after getting to her incall.  Have not had anyone be disappointed.  It does get us something to talk about to ease the awkwardness of first meeting especially.

For return visits, I try to get a different scent in the candles.  And they all love VS cards.

Swim

My favorite perfume. It really is the best "ice breaker" that I've ever gotten. I love wine, and candles, but lingerie is something I like getting for myself and certainly something that needs to be tried on first before purchased. Therefore I love getting perfume because it lasts so long and smells so damn good.

Re: Ice breakers....what do you use?

After speaking a few times and finally getting to our meeting, if he is coming to my incall I would offer refreshment such as a bottle of water, glass of wine, soft drink.  Just be a hostess, and begin a conversation based on our phone chats earlier.

Just treating him well and kindly is usually a great ice breaker.

Just walking up to a lady's home with a bottle of wine in your hand might draw some attention from any potential "nosey" neighbors. That's a situation where "smaller might be better".

Two ladies that I have seen at their personal condos both asked me to walk up with "something" in my hand/s to make it look like I was supposed to be there. That was a perfect opportunity to "smuggle" in a small gift!

I sometimes use a black laptop briefcase in which any number of gifts (like wine!) will easily fit in. "Hi, I'm here to work on your software" usually had us both laughing as I walked in the door!

Being discreet in "how" you bring a gift can go a long way.......

that tells the lady you can see past her beauty and actually notice she took the time to get ready for you and the date.

Godiva Strawberry/Banana Kabob's

Don't know why I was drawn to these...but Godiva makes these Kabobs with Strawberries and Banana's, then drizzled with chocolate (dark, milk and white).  I love to bring a box of three (one of each flavor). Not only does Godiva say "elegance", but the combination of the strawberries and bananas give a light, fresh, sweet taste.  Godiva does a great job in their presentation, what with the gold foil box, the gift bag and "fluffy paper".  PLUS...there's nothing more erotic than seeing your lady simulate what lies ahead for you as she "nibbles" up and down the kabob!!!!

As far as carrying a bag into her hotel or apartment...I've taken an empty xerox box, put the gift bags inside, and nonchalantly walked right up to the door. Plus, it makes for quite a humorous moment at times as she wonders.."what's in the xerox box".
