I've never bought any gifts for the provider. The best I've ever did was tip $500 from a $1500 session so that equals $2000 in total for 2 hours.

I'll give a gift when it strikes me to give one.  Even if I agree that, yes, she's a professional and it's a service in exchange for pay.  That has nothing to do with why I choose to give a gift.  

For $$ In D.C you didn't leave her a tip or present?

A gift is simply that, a gift.  I've never read on any provider site that you HAVE to give a gift.  They're simply giving those that would want to an idea or two.  Haven't you ever got something, either on your birthday or christmas or whenever that you said to yourself that the giver obviously didn't know what you wanted?  I like to bring flowers for the lady, not because I have to, but because I want to.  It's a good way to set the mood, especially if I'm meeting her for the first time.  I've never had a lady say "no thanks".  It does not have to be a dozen roses either, just a nice arrangement you can get at any local store.  Nothing like starting off in the right mood.

You find no possibility of having a friendship with a provider? That's pretty sad. These ladies are people and they have feelings like anyone else, why make them out to be unappreciating money-grubbers? I have given gifts before and if the ladies didn't really appreciate them, then the Academy Award definitely went to the wrong person. Gifts aren't supposed to be given with the intent of securing future favors, or expecting a provider to return gifts back to you. It is friendship that is supposed to guide the giver. If you don't want to give gifts to anyone, that's your decision. Some of us that do give gifts on occasion to providers don't appreciate your condescending words. I never learned anything of value from someone as cynical as you seem to be. Open your mind and wisdom shall enter

I give gifts to my ATF because I like the the way she responds to receiving them. You could say I do it more for me than her.

and  get  it  out  of  your  head  that  we are  just a  hole  to  stick your  slong into. for  money  or  not  we  are  women and all  we  want  is  to  be  treated  with  respect  and  longing.

And  sometimes a  gift is  just a  gift  of appreciation and we  like  them. Not  necessary  but  welcomed.

I  already  over  pay  my  maid, by  industry  standards, and I  give  her  gifts  for  her and  her  family. I  do  know  that  no  one  else  she  works  for  does  this  for  her, but I  have  her  loyalty  and  respect.

I give gifts on a regular basis to the ladies I see. Partly to "break the ice" and partly in lieu of tips; because cash is short and I can charge the gifts. Some of the ladies I plan to see either don't have "wish lists" on their site or insist on the fee being paid after the session (or both); so I'm not sure how I will handle those.

Since I started easylay bought me a new shower head! I love it!!
