It's always been my experience in business that the person SELLING goods and or services is the one giving Xmas gifts, and the person BUYING said goods and/or services is the one receiving them.

Damn, does this mean I need to give my accountant, attorney, butcher, baker, candlestick maker, a gift as well???

I have a question for the ladies, what do you plan on giving your regulars this year???

Gentlemen, what type of gifts are you giving your regulars? Cash, gift cards or something more personal? And how much? The cost of a session or a percentage of that? Ladies, what do you prefer?

I think a pie served up between your luscious legs would be all the christmas present that I would want or need

A cute little toy plus a $100 Victoria Secret gift card..

your hair dresser, your landscaper, your maid, your newspaper delivery person & your mailman. But most certainly the service provider that gives you the most pleasure...whichever that one is for you. For me, hands down, it's the ladies!

The seller is the one who needs to keep their clientel.

I'll be giving as many ladies as possible their usual pearl necklace.

I make a donation to charity in their name. An email gets sent to them (at their hobby email) with a little Thank You message. It's something that doesn't need to be shown or explained to a questioning wife.

It is affordable ($100-200) and is easy to hide if that is a concern and easy to bring to them and for them to take home if they are traveling.

They seem to like it a lot too, which is the important thing.

One or two gals have even done photos wearing a piece I gave them.  That makes me feel very good.

The other nice thing about jewelry is that while they enjoy receiving it, I'm the one who then gets to look at it.  That's a win/win.

Of course not all gals can accept jewelry.  I see a few UTR gals who have SOs, and they would be at a loss to explain who gave them a piece of jewelry.  For one of those gals I bring a good bottle of Champagne.  The other seems to always love nice leather gloves, so I get her a pair of those.

I too receive gifts from several gals.  One brings me festive decorations for my home (I'm a bachelor now.), and another gets me interesting books on subjects like trivia and language origins.  Some get me gift certificates to restaurants we go to.

I enjoy the whole institution of gifting when the presents are heartfelt and reflect our knowledge of each others' interests.  It's not a chore, but a labor of love.

I love playing dress up, so this would be my DREAM gift.

Don't know about the providers, but I want to get this...

I gave a provider clothing, but it was really a gift for me. If she likes it (she said she did, but you know how women lie), then she can wear it when she goes out on the town.

Do it have to be a selling vs buying??

Usually cute baked goods and/or toys. Once in a while I'll take 'em to Greece (not normally on the 'menu', and I don't upcharge).

from both my business customers and escorts. For escorts usually gift cards and for my business customers wine/liquor.  I get from business customers, tickets to sporting events, booze, free nights at hotels, and from escorts, cologne, baked goods and dinner out.  

They'll find it hard to return it if "doesn't fit" lmao

I think its super sweet when my friends brings gifts. It is never a requirement.

My favorite gifts would be to get a text or call from my atf's saying "come over for a free toss in the sack or a free blow job to show you my appreciation for all the money you have given me this year"

 For those who are local or visiting just seeing me is enough for the holidays.  
   
 Right now this snow is not helping business.  
   
 If someone cannot get to me right at the moment and wishes to get me a GreenDot Moneypak (loaded with any amount) I always appreciate it. They are found at Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Dollar General, 7-11 etc. by the gift cards. Just grab the green piece of cardboard and take it to the cashier. Tell her what amount  you want to apply on it. I just need the numbers under the scratch off on the back (or on the receipt). If you have any ?'s just ask the cashier or send me a message.  
   
 It helps pay bills, buy groceries, etc.  
   
 Happy Holidays Everyone!

..my attn a Christmas bonus. I don't give my doctor a Christmas bonus. Some of these hooktards make as much coin as attny's. They should suck harder at this time of year.

kinda like this tg_baby?

Bah humbug!! I hope that wasn't anybody's reaction.

please have the decency to sit on the street corner with a cup and some pencils.

Wow...how classy.

That looks like a fun toy

I still have the bracelet I got from you. One of my favorite pieces of jewelry.

But honestly I prefer a longer date with dinner or dessert ... If you really insist on a gift, a gift card is always good.

i have given gifts, sizable tips, even used to bring flowers to my dates...  w/o exception, i never even got an acknowledgement, let alone a thank you.  i wasn't looking for extra time for the extra $$$ in tips, but maybe a "oh thank you baby" with a wet kiss and a squeeze you-kniw-where, just to let me know the fift was appreciated.

I do not participate in corporate brain washing and greed.  

For a client to bring a provider some little token for the Holiday.  I would never expect anything, but I have had clients bring me little gifts like fancy chocolate or hand lotions, etc...and it made the experience feel much more upscale and "well mannered".  It is the difference between being treated like a courtesan vs. a hooker (a word that offends me personally if guys use it to refer to what I do).  Likewise, the providers could find someway to ring in the Christmas spirit (I am planning on shopping for some festive lingerie for example, and maybe baking some little treats to give clients visiting around that time).    The littlest things can make visits more memorable...playing nice music, having candles lit, etc.  You don't have to buy her diamonds, but even putting your donation in a cute card, shows that you want to make an effort to make your provider feel as special as she is.

Since this is my first holiday season on TER, I don't have any expectations. The other day I had a date, I was given a bottle of Patron. He had read my post about Patron and the great mood it put me in!!  A simple gift, but special because he showed some interest/attention to what i wrote! But alcohol, cash, gift card, etc... Any gift would be very much appreciated.
