I tried to find an answer by searching but found nothing so if this is a repeat or multiple times answered question sorry about that.

you blur the line between gifts and tips.   If you give a provider a nice monetary tip at the end of the session, she will appreciate that more than the cute Lederhosen which she probably would never wear.  Tips are an acknowledgment that she has provided good service and will probably be seeing you again.  Customers who see them regularly and always tip are the holy grail for providers because it creates a baseline monthly income that they can count on from regulars.  Providers always remember their tippers, but often don't remember who gave them other types of gifts.  

Good insight.  Thank you and loved the closet of clothes story.  I have gone with Amazon so far and she said that had allowed her to buy anything she wanted so appreciated it.  I had also given her a tip not card the first session, it was after the second I sent the card.  

CLD's point about tips versus gift is good to keep in mind so first question might be what are you trying to actually do? Also, are you talking about the value of a gift or the frequency of giving?

Jensen's question of, "what are you trying to actually do?", is a good one.  Think about your purpose and that may help frame your anser.

All great answers thank you.   Goddessjezebel I appreciate you jumping in there with your perspective especially.   Yes I was talking more about time frame but these were all well thought out answers and I am willing to take everyone's opinion into consideration.  

.. you can give any businessman /businesswoman is a gift of referral.   In my line of work I am constantly working with people who work on commissions. Sometimes commissions of tens of thousands of dollars, and really believe that gift of referral is an earned gift, and the best one.  Some even have it in their signatures. "Don't keep me a secret". "The gift of referral is the best gift you can give me.. "  Literally copying and pasting.  

Kindness is cool. I buy my friends gifts it’s nice to be nice. I have brought gifts my first time meeting a man just because I appreciate them booking me it’s thoughtful. I got a guy a small gift because he booked me for his birthday. Another gent drove down from LA to see me, so I made him a goody bag of my favorite snacks to enjoy, while driving back home. My regular friends I spoil because they continue to make me feel special. What you do is all up to you. There is no right, or wrong answer. I feel good giving. Smile for me! Xoxo

I’m happy to say that my C massage provider gives me a gift of chocolates each holiday season, then recently a chocolate gift from her visit to Japan recently….  
A couple other C providers have gifted me with a home made bowl of soup on a couple occasions…
Recently a KGIRL in thr past 2 visits gifted me with a bowl of pine nut soup and a kimchi pancake…
I’ve rarely gifted as a gift or tip but have added a couple extra 20,s with initial 🌹…
I think the best gift I ever had was when a C massage provider I saw for a few years bright in another girl who was younger and beautiful and said “you F*** her!  While she did other fun stuff to me.  All this as I told her it was my birthday week 🥳.   Unforgettable!!!!!

FYI, this is not Facebook.  This is a fuck board, so it's okay to quote the woman as saying, "You fuck her!"  No one here will be offended and management will not remove it just because you can't say it on other forums.  Same with other words that are generally excluded from social media, like "shit, piss, cunt, pussy, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits."  However, if you say a black guy has a horsecock or a Jewish guy has a tiny schmeckle, you will be called a racist, so tread lightly when discussing ethnicity. There you have it.  Lol

It’s a business transaction. You pay them for a service. Do what you want to do. If you feel better giving them something then do .

I think you can write a book on the industry. Don't think I will see a 1000 providers or do 400 reviews in my lifetime. I repeat a lot though. Usually see providers I know are a sure thing, and we know each other's expectations.

Are in the form of tips , birtdays,and the major holidays.  Gifts are cash or visa card,giving them the freedom to buy whatever they choose.  
As for the amount, use your discretion , because if you start high ,that amount  , or higher, might  be expected  at all time and over time respectively.

historical aficionado and after a large deal closed a few years back, I handed him a package containing a cased Old Rip Van Winkle 25 Year and a century old top hat that had [purportedly] once worn by Colonel Edmund James Taylor Jr for his collection.  His work in the deal was not only flawless but essential to get it done.  When he opened it, his eyes watered as he admired the hat in his hands.  

I tipped generously to a well-deserved waitress/waiter and made meaningful donations to foundations helping sick kids over the years.  

I never said that there was anything wrong about gifting your doctors, lawyers, CPAs and even Hookers for that matter.  

for both providers and hobbyists, I have found there can be a fine line between "enthusiasts" and drunks.  Lol

...and one that pays in wonderful dividends.  Many, including Curly, will never get it.  In my case, I had crossed paths with this guy in another matter and found him to be quite effective.  Much better than "my guy" if you know what I mean.  It took a bit of work just to get into his office for that first meeting but placing this guy in my tent was a top priority.  General referrals don't mean shit to him.  

I don't gift often but have found knowing the recipient's tastes well makes things more memorable and appreciated. My ATF is a bookworm so I'd give her a novel I especially liked. Another time I asked her to wear a naughty schoolgirl outfit and she laughed that her husband had ripped hers off her and she had no replacement. So I bought her a new one, which she loved so much she used a photo I took of her in it on her P411 page. She was part of a circle of girls I used to see and I bought each of them a copy. Watching them demonstrate their gratitude was most enjoyable.

my "tent" is a top priority.  That's where I keep the harem girls.  After that, he will do anything I ask.  Lol

entertainment.  If I gave a woman a book, I would also assure her that it is brand new and has never been opened or read.  Lol

The people that know I am often obtuse for the sake of humor get what I'm doing.  Others don't.  

AFTER I explain it.   Lol

Because you were still correct at that point.

I was going to suggest that he apologize to all the fine obtuse angles of this world for disparaging them with his comparison.

Hello  Ladies  &  Gentlemen,

since your posts and their pattern are clear as day as to your intent.

Amazing! One of the few, rare occasions where mrfisher failed to get it right.

The sum of the squares.

If you think about it, or meditate on it, you might think of a transcendent angle or transcendental angle.

I’ll gladly tip at the end of a great session.  As far as gifts go, the way I’ve always handled it is to only give a gift at Christmas for my regular or two in my hometown.  Christmas gifts that come to mind were a computer, TV, night out on the town with a nice dinner and show with an all night date (did this a couple of times).  These days I’ll give my one regular cash, which she prefers over any kind of other gift, as a Christmas gift.  One other reason I only give my regulars a gift at the end of the year is because they know if they keep providing great service they’ll get a very nice stocking stuffer at the end of the year.  I’ll tip new providers but never give them a gift unless they become regulars, which is never more than two at a time and usually only one.

vgasdude,
  You don't need to give a gift everytime that you see a Provider.  She may think that you are doing that so that she'll give you a lower price....or for some other crazy reason.  So, don't over do the gift thing and don't do the gift thing just because you want her to give up the life style "Being A Provider" just so you can have her.  

For me personally, tips are the best gift you can give! Of course, if you get me a gift I actually want (like concert tickets or travel vouchers etc) then that is great too, but I think the problem with gifts is, while they are nice and much appreciated, you never know if it’s something the provider wants unless she specifically tells you or something. I think tips are always the best route

After seeing my gem of a Vietnamese provider yesterday who I must say got me in 1st visit of the morning, time spent wasn’t much of an issue for her but more so for me as I had to get back to work. We spent about 2 hours together… we Fucked for a good 45 minutes, cleaned up a little relaxed,  her shoulders were quite tight so aI gave her some deep pressure shoulder massage which she really enjoyed and appeared to need. She rummaged through the walk in closet and pulled out a box of nice polished stone bracelets.  She had me pick one I liked to take with me 💎  Then before I left she filled my coffee tumbler with a yummy iced coffee she had pre made before I arrived ☕️  
🎁 Extended non rushed session  
🎁 Beautiful nice looking bracelet  
🎁 Iced Coffee to go
