I don't think this qualifies as a "newbie" post, but if I'm wrong, mods, feel free to move it.

Anyway, I've had a couple of clients so far ask if I have some kind of online wish list of sorts (i.e. Amazon) where they could purchase gifts for me that I'd like. Now, truth be told, I've never been one for getting "pampered," and it seems like it'd be inappropriate to put my Guitar Center wish list on my website (plus I don't really expect a client to get much joy from buying me the purple warlock bass I want).

So let's say hypothetically that I did create an Amazon wish list or whatever. What kinds of things should I put on it? Lingerie seems like the obvious choice, but everyone likes variety, no?

Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with the bass Play it for me! Honestly my personal perspective is put things on it you want. Not things you think he thinks you want. Or it is just a waste of everyones time and money.

I've seen plenty of "unique" lists out there.  Heck, some guys don't even break a sweat dropping a few grand for a night.....I doubt all would consider a guitar as a crazy item to have on your list.  

I'd recommend perusing the websites of other providers to get some ideas, but I wouldn't just assume you're going to offend anyone (A new BMW might be a little aggressive) .  Those who can afford certain things and want to know who they are.  I'm sure those that can't afford it or aren't interested will just be happy to spend some time with you.  

In this particular instance, it doesn't matter what you think. How do you know that one of your clients won't be a frustrated rocker who would LOVE to buy you your bass?

This is a WISH list. Put things on there that you would really like to receive. It's just like a Christmas list, you don't put a bunch of stuff on there because you think it's what Santa would want to bring you... do you?

Now of course, if you want to make it sexy, you need to include some lingerie, some perfume, etc, etc. One thing that is probably important is to cover all price ranges... some guys want to do this just as a token - a gesture, while others may have the budget and the desire to spring for something higher- end.

Try to be as clear as possible - if you are going to wear it, be very specific about sizes, keeping in mind that most of us are clueless as to how women's sizes work. If it's food, let us know if you have allergies or stuff you wouldn't eat, and be specific about what kind of chocolate you like, if any. And it wouldn't hurt to find a sweet and gentle way to let us know what you DON'T want to receive, stuff that will just be wasted and maybe hard to get rid of.... flowers, fruit baskets, bean-bag furniture...

I used to tell people when they asked for my Christmas list "If you can buy it shrink-wrapped off a center aisle at K-Mart, I don't want it."  

Are the ones with a good variety of presents with a broad financial scope.
Lingerie, perfume, favorite skin care products, favorite flowers, a Purple Warlock (and the coffin shaped case to go with it?) Jewelry.  Everything from practical to princess can be there.  If you're uncomfortable with too much pampering, stick to easier to find and purchase items.  (e.g., leave the Rolex off  lol)

If you make it on Amazon though, be sure to create it under your provider email address. Also, Does someone buying you something on your Amazon wish list see the address it goes to? Not sure how that works.

but I think its kinda nice when I see a girls site that doesnt have one. Or one that says, in lieu of giving me a gift, please make a donation to [insert name of favorite charity or cause here]. Again, not judging but it just comes off to me personally as a little tacky. Just my 2 cents.

I had a little spot on my old site, but not an entire page. It was a split screen page, with Bio on one side, and "Gifts...if you wish" on the other. Notice my new site has none of that, but it is up to the individual provider. For me, it did in fact yield some actual gifts that I could use, which is always a plus. Who wants to be given something they hate? That's the only reason I can think of, for putting a page like that on your website...so they know what NOT to get.

Best. Idea. Ever. I'll definitely suggest that, as there are several charities which are very near to my heart.

Hobbying has made me wish to be rich more than ever not just to see more ladies,  but because I love to give gifts.  I could see higher priced ladies but for my wish to provide extra to the ladies who give me a really special time.  After a first great session,  I love to bring a gift to the second.  I don't like to give lingerie,  perfume,  or the like: those are a business expense  and may be used to entertain other Johns. I want to give the lady something special that may cause her to think of me in her real life....... I would love to give you a purple Warlock bass as a gift after you had given me a wondrous time for our first visit.  I would hope it brought us closer during our second. From all I've read and seen of you,  I'm nearly certain you would deserve it.

If it's an amazon wishlist, you can go check it out and filter it by "purchased" and "unpurchased" items.

I'm surprised to see that some items actually get purchased for the provider.

Lots of financial domination ladies who don't' provide also use amazon wish lists.
It's effective and doesn't hurt to have up.

Some men may see it as being materialistic and may not want to see you. So it could be a double edged sword.

Well god love ya.

Yeah that's the main thing I'd want to avoid. Giving the impression of materialism in particular would be a real downer for me, because that would be such an inaccurate representation of how I actually am.

Now that I can relate to...

Amiright?!

Hahaha a "what not to get me" page would be a fun page to have just for shits and giggles. Mine would have chocolate, things that are pink or white, and carnations. Yuck.

TBH, BC Rich isn't known for craftsmanship or good electronics.
But if you like it, go for it!

Maybe you could make your amazon wish list and link it to those who inquire, like that one gentleman.

Lots of providers do have a gift page or something similar, with general gifts such as lingerie, favorite flower, perfume, etc.

Ay, my P-Bass is for serious shit. That Warlock is just for aesthetic purposes. No one on earth will deny the pure badassness of that bass.

And it's a little under $300.

Only 300? If I was single, I'd pick one up tomorrow and fly to Cincy.

Everything being produced these days is pretty decent.

And there are plenty of different lines so you gotta factor which line you are talking about.

And honestly, the import ones aren't that bad.  Everything these days is pretty well-built.

Wait...you mean relationship status matters in this business?! My stars!!!!!

Honestly I could probably build it myself. I'm just not sure that I have the time.

The more I think about it, the more I want the blood splatter one.

That is a wicked bass! Now you just need the Ampeg 1x15 to go with it...
