Re:What's a Good Gift to give to a provider?

I think that it is really nice for you to think of something to bring to your session. Most women I know really like all the things that you have indicated.

I had one client call me when I was in the middle of having coffee at Starbucks with my kids. He found it facinating that my children and I enjoyed Starbucks so much so when we finally did meet he gave me a Starbucks gift certificate. I found this a wonderful surprise that he remembered and was so thoughtful.

Something you can find out is if she collects anything?

I hope you enjoy our city.........

Thanks for raising the bar in a hobby where the bar seems to be raising fast enough on its own.  It is nice that you bring something if that is what you feel comfortable with.  We all should proceed in a manner that we feel is correct.

I have always felt that by showing up on time, being clean, being sober, being polite, being discrete, following any agreed to rules and with the agreed upon gift was adequate, especially on a first encounter.  For someone that I see multiple times, then there might be some additional presents given.  This way I am a little more certain that the present I select is something that the person is going to enjoy and not just throw in the closet or pass along to someone else.

This is definitely a YMMV hobby and whatever you feel works best for you and makes you happy, comfortable or gives you a better session is the path you should take.  I always have to chuckle a little at the gift list posted on some providers web sites.  Many might consider me to be overly generous at times, but some of those things I couldn't justify buying for myself let alone someone I barely know and probably cares very little or nothing about me. I'm not talking only about the gifts intended exclusively for a woman.
