Curious to how the ladies and the men might respond here.

I have been given tips from very satisfied and happy clients to the tune of 30-70%, lingerie from regulars I grew to know well and have an ongoing friendship, and small gifts like chocolates, wine, or fresh fruit. All of it shows a kind of thoughtfulness and generosity that I really appreciated. It's never expected, but never fails to impress.

I'm not the most experienced monger here by a long shot, but I've been at it awhile. When I started, I brought gifts of Godivia chocolates or sometimes clothing. That stopped when I found out that gifts were being recycled, either given to friends or, in the case of one semi-expensive dress, to Goodwill.  

some have a "amazon wishlist" linked on their website. that way, if u want to gift/tip you now exactly what they want. you can't go wrong. think of it like a registry, there is no  bad choice. pick the item that costs what you want to spend.

Thx for  reply. I agree with you. Not every encounter may involve a tip or gift, but I feel when there are return visits something is right. Always a nice touch and classy thing to do.  Great post!

Thanks For playing. I know it can get out of hand, especially if a guy looses his heart.  
 

I love flowers and red wine but of course when I'm travelling every 3 or so days on a tour it's more portable to receive a tip,
and I like it when I'm given the tip as the gentleman leaves as it shows he really had an amazing time and wanted to show his appreciation rather than just adding it into the envelope as a matter of course at the beginning.
It's all good though!!

If it's a girl I see regularly I usually pay her normal rate...if I've been able to learn her birthday she gets a gift card, and I give gift cards at Christmas time to my regulars...

I like it. Thx

Tip - sometimes if I feel like the girl  went above and beyond and if I have some extra cash yea why not.

Thoughtful, always. The transactional nature of our meetings means extravagant gifts make me uneasy. A tip is always appreciated, but not expected unless you've wrecked the hotel room, overstayed like mad, or left a handprint on my bum.

Giving a gift is a vulnerable thing to do, so I most definitely appreciate when someone goes out of their way to give me something special, based on conversations or something I tweeted a while back.

I usually throw in an extra $100 or so as a tip.  Occasionally, I will get a gift.  I usually stick with something like the perfume she lists on her P411 profile or website.  I usually skip the flowers as too impractical and - at least to me - a bit of an overly romantic gesture in P4P.  I will occasionally do something like a bottle of wine or champagne, but only if I know for sure exactly what kind she likes.  All the girls I've seen have always been appreciative of anything extra in terms of tips or gifts - true to the phrase "always appreciated but never expected."  For the most part, I think the tip/gift they really appreciate the most is good hygiene, good behavior, respect, and repeat business.

Great read/post. I will have to share a story with you sometime.

I will tip at the low end with the AMP girls and sometimes agency girls but not so at the high indy end.

It makes me very happy!

on the situation. If it is an extended date, then a bottle of wine or champagne (if the lady drinks alcohol) would be appropriate. Safer to ask her her preferences ahead of time.  

I am really moved when someone brings me a gift. I would say typically gentleman I see on a regular basis are much more likely to give a gift or offer one. They know what I like and my interests. I've had a variety of wonderful gifts, not just physical items either. I think some of my best gifts have been experiences. I got to introduce a gentleman to sushi for the first time at one of the best restaurants in Vegas. It was a blast! And another time I was brought cake and serenaded for my birthday.  

After all, this business is to feel good. Giving can be fun if done for the right reasons.  

Emma!!  It is super cool to hear from you here. We have spoken via email, and here before. I am in Northwest Ohio. Have seen a friend (Kendal). Our paths and schedules have not crossed yet but I am holding out for a day when I can make your beautiful and sexy acquaintance! !!

 Cash tips are certainly appreciated when touring due to issues with luggage and portability but gifts are certainly more personal and sweet. I have gotten some weird gifts but when I stop and think about it, I realize that person was excited to pick it out and give it to me so I am touched by the gesture.

To my way of thinking, tips are a gratuity in service industries for something above and beyond what the service provider's employer is paying. When I go to a restaurant I nearly always tip the waitress 20%. Usually even more at the Barber Shop.

get as gifts I stopped. Can't compete with a new car. lol

Oh gosh what man or woman doesn't love an unexpected token of affection!   I think with regular clients as you get to know each other little fun gifts go both ways.  I've been known to give a client fun silly gifts or a really hard to find pricey bottle of wine that I know he will like, and we enjoy it together.  One new client had teased me about having freshly baked cookies based on a picture from my gallery on a call to say hello before our extended date.  So of course I did in fact have warm, fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies and some with m+m's baked in, some with nuts.   He had gone so above and beyond with screening with my assistant and I was so appreciative of how sweet he was about it all that I felt the gesture would be a great way to kick off our fun and express my thankfulness for his good nature.

Great post!

I always felt the fee for company was all inclusive and rarely tipped. But my style is to repeat and repeat and repeat. That's not cheap, no for me that's expensive.But the past 18 months have changed how I look at my guests. Perhaps it's the guest! I planned a very expensive date at driving a race car at a NASCAR track for the Spring '16, but the lady retired in November 2015. That babe dug speed and a rush.

Q. How do you want a gift presented to you?  
A. Any way s/he wishes to gift me! I've had them mailed and brought in person.  

Ok, since the thread is started... For then who tip, do you just add to the original envelope, or wait to see how the session goes, and then if you want to tip, bring out another envelope? Just pulling out cash afterward seems kinda awkward.... And Ladies, how do you like it handled?

What about you? Do you tip or gift? Yes.. I enjoy tipping.  I am a firm believer that what a lady shares with me (in terms of her body,  passion Intimacy
And fantasy) is hard to put a price on. I am very thankful for the ladies I choose to see and what they share and offer. What ever appreciation I can show via tip and occasional gift, I like to do so.

But I can't help it. I really enjoy shopping and giving something special to the ladies I see.
What they do with it is entirely up to them. That's one reason , when possible I always include the gift receipt .

Some of us have to save our lunch money just to get a couple of dates a year. Some of us are 1%ers. As for me, I tip, and or gift those ladies who make me feel extra special. One lady I tip every time because of how special she made me feel when we met in 2010. Even though the parameters of our sessions have changed since then because of her personal integrity, she still gets tipped each and every time.  

According to U.S. News/Forbes etc. the best paying hourly gigs are in the medical profession i.e. Anesthesiologist, Obstetricians, Gynecologist, etc. at about $90 per hour. that goes for a median salary of $187,000 per year.  I'll just take the first provider that responded rates as a guideline.  At $600 per hour, that's around 6.5 times the rate of said medical professional.  6.5 X 187,000 = Roughly $1.2 million annual median.  

i have given, more than once, to more than one provider, tips, flowers, gift cards, jewelry, clothing, etc.

No problem! Glad I could help. LOL

 Really got me thinking about what I've done, and why. Thanks!

Gynecologists work more and longer hours more consistently than a companion does. Never assume an 8-hour day for a companion. Some might be lucky to work once a week.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. xo

has been this: he visits the bathroom just once more on his way out. After we've said our last goodbyes and he's left, I find a sweet little bit of extra love on the bathroom counter. He never mentions it.

I'm sorry you've had the misfortune to spend time with ladies who are ungrateful. I always take the time to write a sweet thank you to my loves for the unexpected extra generosity they share. And I show my gratitude in other ways, as well.

The price is the price.  In a restaurant you tip a waiter because the bill is paid to the restaurant owner, the waiter/waiteress doesnt make much except for tips.  Same thing for landscapers, contractors, service personnel, etc. you tip the workers, not the owner of the company.  Since I primarily try to see independent ladies, they are the "owners" of their business, the fee for the service is going to them directly.  Ine of the reasons I am seeing them is their price point.  To pay more defeats that purpose.

Most people will at least acknowledge a gift even if it is not something they will use.
It's good manners to at least thank you.
Too bad those experiences turned you off from buying gifts or tips.
I never expect a tip or gift but whether it was a small gift card, new james patterson book(one of my fav authors), or lingerie from Agent Provocateur I have always been appreciative and thankful.
To each her own

Like your post and my god do you look amazing.

 Typically gifts to me are a bump in the donation envelope.  I prefer that over gift cards because it allows me the freedom to do what I'd like with the unexpected extra.  This is by far the most common gift.  
   
 The next and less common gifts are to one of the charities I have listed on  my site.   They are truly more important to me than any gifts and I give a great deal of my own time and funds to two of them that are near and dear to my heart.  
   
 And lastly and less often are the lovely little things I would not usually do for myself like spa day gift cards, unique jewelry or clothing/ quality bag or an experience together.  One client took me paragliding in Colorado, booyah!.  I do adore quality upscale things that hold their value, but I don't throw my money at "labels" just to have them.  I don't need to own designer things to define myself and I'd rather invest the money than have another “designer X” bag.  I do have several key pieces of amazing jewelry that were given to me by several long time clients that I travel with and see frequently.  I never would have purchased these for myself and I treasure the gifts.  I can tell you every detail about the moment they were given to me as the images are cemented in my memory forever.  The clients and the gifts are that special.  To show my appreciation,  I've been able to give them each unique experiential gifts that were desired and on their bucket list that they hadn't yet done. Going thru those one by one haha.  Gift giving goes both ways  

Nope. But if that's how you interpret it, then that's your right.

 OK, re-reading that and it sounds like I've done something bad and you've made me see the light, and all I meant was that it got me thinking about why I sometimes bring gifts and sometimes not.  . Just introspection...  
   
 Nothing to see here, move along!

Definitely higher paying in the start, but over time kind of evens out.

in all other aspects i get great service and women are very comfortable and happy with me.  and i don't expect much in return, i'm not asking for extra time or otc dinner or something, but just a "thank you, handsome, come here big boy" kind of smooch or hug or some acknowledgement.

....Generally not my attorney charges less per hr. than any provider I would see & I have not tipped him, although I did send a gift of single malt last X-mass.

Nope, not seeing it that way at all. Sorry for the confusing sentences.
