When someone is touring, keep the gifts small and light. A bottle of booze is hard to pack (and TSA might want to taste and confiscate it) and takes up room in a stuffed bag. She will either have to drink before leaving or, don't be offended, re-gift it to someone else, maybe a local client, or leave it in the room for the hotel staff.

Even clothing, if larger than a couple of band-aids, can be hard to cram into a traveler's suitcase.  
.  
Jewelry (mrfisher's thing) is small, light and can even be worn in transit.
.
I have been left holding the bag, so to speak, on a few occasions, and had to get rid of those items in a hurry before heading off to meetings and other obligations. You can bring a "toy" to a Provider but you get NCNSed you can't just bring that same to a family gathering later that evening. Into the garbage and hope that some homeless person finds it and makes good use of it.

So, sometimes guys think that they have her best intentions in mind when bringing a gift,  but in the history of the hobby there have been some lame, disgusting and rather extravagant gifts given.  
   
 One lady told me a nightmare story that a guy brought her good  (she did not ask for it). A subway sandwich with his special sauce added to it and he wanted ber to eat the sandwich as part of his fantasy. Guess that falls under strangest or most disgusting requests. He thought the sandwich was a gift. She refused and asked him to leave.  
   
 As far as requests go, I've asked for the teacher/student  role play (I was the college professor she was the struggling student)  and the boss employee (where I was the employee in the bosses office).  
   
 Lamest gifts, I brought a lady a few gifts that included a new vibe (as hers got lost in a move)  a gift card to home depot for her new home projects and a nonfiction book I thought she'd love to read based on conversations we had, but turned out to be a dumb idea. The vibe began smoking when she put batteries in it ($40 vibe). Took it back for a refund.

If so, I could see her point.  Actually, I've eaten at Subway; she is well justified.
 

I often give jewelry as a gift.  I hope they are always appreciated, but who knows for sure.  One gal has a photo on  her site of her wearing my gift, so I took that as a great compliment.

 
Sometimes I give something that a gal requested. Good wines or liquors seem to be the most often requested.    

 
On occasion I'll see an article of clothing in a store that strikes me as just right for the gal, and I'll get that for them, but that is always a risky proposition.

 
As far as gifts I've received, most have been very good though one gal used to buy me high tech gizmos the lines of something that brushes your teeth while peeling a grape at the same time.   In any case, I never bother to buy batteries for those things anyways.

 
The best gift was a leather overnight bag that I still use for hobbying when I check into a hotel.  That was over 30 years ago and it still looks and functions great.

 
Oh, and I must mention the gal that always is giving me little crystal figurines of animals.  They always remind me of her.
(Hi Steph!)

 
As for the worst gift, a gal showed me a Christmas gift someone had given her of a bag of manure (for potting plants).  I suppose he was trying to be funny, but I think it back fired on him.  She was pretty upset.  I agreed totally.

but there it was in all its smelly glory.

 
Lesson of the story:   If you are going to give a gift gag, think long and hard before you do so, or you'll end up in deep doo-doo too.

A provider gave you a gift? Wow!!!

I have received gifts from providers many times over the years.

A couple from providers I was dating, but much more often from women who were just very professional and GOOD at what they do, which is to make their clients happy and feeling both special and appreciated.

thrift store.

One of my favs is from Crystal for fun, who gave appropriately a crystal that hangs in front of a bay window that throws rainbows all over my walls in the morning.

Got to her room and put the money on her credenza.  She said, "I've got an envelope for you!" and handed me an 8X10" manilla envelope.  I opened it and pulled out a charming professional shot of her sticking out her ass and pussy, signed personally to me.

a candle holder made from rough rose quartz for a tantrika escort of mine.

 
The TSA guy was convinced it was plastic explosive.

You seem to have more problems with TSA than terrorists  LOL

Seems the common denominator here is you?

... I've bought my ATF several gifts over the years, including two vibes. The first one was a model I knew she really liked, and she loved it because she wanted a second one (one for home, one for her incall).  The second one was well-intended, but proves it's not a good idea to give a personal gift unless you're sure the recipient will like it. I read about a vibe that supposedly is good for women with sensitive clits, which my ATF has.  It doesn't actually touch the clit, but envelops it and caresses it with air pressure.  So I got one for her. She was very appreciative when I gave it to her, but when I asked her later how it worked for her, she said she couldn't get the hang of it, so she gave it to one of her provider friends (whom I've met a few times).  But she really loved it, so at least it eventually found a good home.  

The best tangible gift I've ever received from a provider was a work of art the provider made herself.  The best intangible gift is a gift of time, which I've received many times.  For example, the other day my ATF told me she had some time before she had to get home to her family and asked if I could stay awhile.  I could, and I did... and used most of the time giving her a full-body massage.  :)

I once got a favorite that same clit vibrator, and as far as I know, she hasn't tried it yet. We didn't use it on that date because it would have taken too long to charge up. That is probably my lamest gift that I have given so far. I gave that same provider a tupperware of my homemade salsa, and she loved that.

My original ATF gave me a brilliant Christmas gift once: a high-quality wallet. She said that she wanted me to think of her whenever I was spending money, and it worked like a voodoo curse. I kept seeing her, and eventually we were dating OTC and she moved in with me. She was a single mother with two kids, so I'm sure that I ended up spending even more while we were a couple.

I've brought back a few small gifts from my trips to Australia. Also flowers and clothes from wish lists.  

As to me receiving gifts from providers. On my birthday a couple of years ago, I walked in the door to the in call and was greeted by the beautiful lady with a very large bow around her body as she sat on the kitchen counter. Unwrapping my birthday present was the start to a very fun and thoughtful gift.

I had a client who was always giving me his wife's cast offs...an ugly tea set with pictures of chickens on them, ugly used purses and make up bags...ect.  The only thing I liked was an estee lauder gift set I guess she never used and I really only liked the mascara.  The rest went into my useless pile of junk because I'm too polite to refuse a gift.

The tackiest thing I have ever heard.  But I applaud your pragmatism in not getting pissed and kicking him to the curb.  A regular is  regular.  

The best gift for a regular is jewelry, but it must be the real deal and not costume jewelry that turns her skin green if she wears it in the shower.  Sex toys are part of the "tools of her trade", as is lingerie, so I try to give gifts that are more personal and not connected with, or that remind her of, her work.  To me, these are pretty lame and unimaginative.  If Jewelry is too pricey, then I would suggest concert tickets or gift cards to her store of choice.  

 
Many of my regulars will bring me gifts for my birthday, Christmas and Valentines Day.  Since I often wear a suit for work, I often get expensive, designer neckties, more expensive than I would buy myself, but really appreciated and humbling.  The lame one for me is getting cologne that is not the brand I use.  It show's they probably got a good price on a case of the stuff and are giving it to all of their customers.  It shows they haven't really paid attention.

I spoke to a lady who had a client who would leave her bible tracts. What???

Aroma candles as a housewarming gift. I love them and the aroma fills the apartment thoroughly . The scents were just what I like. I still have a few left but i just use them for decoration. Of course these were not B&BW nor Glade.

in Japan, I had a regular who always brought me watches. None were particularly valuable, but I thought it was cute that I always got them. Another used to give me something from Tiffany each time he came. Not big, extravagant things, but small little trinkets and perfume. I also received pearls, makeup, lingerie, etc. there.

As a companion, I have received some beautiful things. Shoes, jewelry, lingerie, books, (signed) prints, works of art, fresh produce from a garden, candles, gift cards, chocolates, tea, antiques, and much, much more. What a pleasure and honor it is to receive a gift from someone! I love the fact that I was thought of.  

I also love giving gifts. It can be very difficult, though, especially if my lover is married or partnered, as they can't exactly wander home with anything very large. The most extravagant thing I ever gave someone was an $800 bottle of rare whisky. It was well worth it, as he used to book me for entire weekends at $10K a pop, and he was quite the whiskey connoisseur. I wonder if he ever drank it. ;) When I worked in London more regularly, I would buy Thomas Pink shirts/ties/cufflinks for my American businessmen friends. I love Thomas Pink shirts with cufflinks. Swoon!
