I was just curious to know if it's common for some you gents to have received high value gifts ($300-$500) from perhaps your ATF's for Christmas or Birthday?

If it's common, I would have to say that I haven't had an ATF long enough to get one.  

...Just kidding -- don't lose your shit.

Last year got a big box of red ginseng drink from one of my regular.  She said it would help me with my stamina.  haha  Later while shopping in Ktown found out that this box was verrrrrrry expensive.  I usually get her clothing because kgirls love clothes from the USA.

Love designer stuff.  I would never spend more than $100 on a necktie, but I have a few dozen high end designer ties that were gifts from Kgirl regulars over several years that range from $250-$400, but still much less than I spend on them at Christmas, birthdays, etc.  Fortunately, I have never had to buy a Kgirl a Mothers' Day gift.

That explains the lace thong and FM high heels I got one year that were WAY too small.

I have. It was totally unexpected. It was something that she  
put a lot of thought into. I still miss her.  

One of my kgirl regular like shopping at the outlet stores on Black Friday.  She tells me how she hates to pay retail.

We are known the world over as "Yellow Jews" Back in the day we were also called "Oriental Jews" but "Oriental" is now supposed to be offensive. lol

rug "oriental", its not offensive.

gave me a Luxury Italian leather wallet fir my B-day valued well above $500.  It came with a gift receipt in case I didn't like the color.  I was floored at the gesture!

There are a lot of things that offend me. Being called "Asian American" when I was born and raised here is one of them. but only a "Persian rug" should be offended by being called Oriental as Persia is "Del Medio Oriente" NOT "Oriental"

humor being a little too subtle?  Is anyone else offended by the term "oriental" used in reference to rugs?  Reread my post.  I don't think I made any reference to what should or shouldn't offend you.  Perhaps a PUI moment?

and I made the error of combining a joke and a separate serious remark in the same post.

But they do it with your best interested at heart

i think the most expensive were few $24.99 all you can eat korean bbq dinners and one time a $160 seven jeans (and this one was on sale at a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale).

the same question that many of the Kgirls ask themselves:  "What is it about me that attracts cheap asses?"  Lol

I got cologne from a provider one time.  I didn't like the smell of it, so never really used it.  But it was still a very nice gesture. I'm guessing she prob bought a few for her repeat customers.
