You have mail!

A receipt for the whole years tuition paid in full lol

The only thing that I've had gals say not to bring are big bunches of flowers.  It looks bad to see a string of guys walking through a hotel lobby with bouquets.

I've brought CD's, books, sweets, gift cards, donations to animal shelters (my ATF's passion) sheet music, and more.  The best reaction I've gotten recently are for home-made strawberry short cake cupcakes that I get from a local bakery!

Many will say just give them money but, honestly, I'm not much of a tipper.  If I get to know a girl I like to personalize things a bit. Repeat business is the ultimate tip.  The small gifts are just a way of letting her know she's not just a vagina and mouth to me.

It's a pretty big gift in the first place.




HalfHour

Well there gorgeous, if return visits and DATY are your idea of nice gifts, you should come out west and get the load of presents that ol' HalfHour has waitin' for you.

and i have been HAPPY to raise her from that disasterous life

I always like to bring something for the lady I'm seeing and lots of times it's lingerie or wine.  I've brought chocolates and other treats.  to me it makes it seem more of a date than a business transaction.  I know it's not but it is my fantasy.  I was wondering from the ladies what gifts do you enjoy the most or is it just a hassle and you would prefer the cash spent on those gifts be included as a tip

Even if it is something I can't particularly use, I can always give it to my sister or mother...they love that!

For me tho, I love getting wine or champagne, and especially if it is truly a gift and I am not asked to open it right then. I like to collect and store nice bottles at a wine locker nearby, kind of a budding hobby.

Women are easy to shop for.  We like everything.

Flowers
Wine
Chocolate
Simple, classic jewelry like diamond studs, a simple gold bracelet or necklace (nothing complicated or gaudy)
Gadgets- IPad, IPhone, (or accesories), Itunes gift cards
Massage/spa gift cards
Store gift cards (ask where she shops)
Books
Anything from Sephora (beauty products, lotions, etc)
Nice soaps, bubble bath, candles
Stuffed animals (if she likes cute stuff)

Skip perfume, clothes, shoes, purses (Too taste specific.  Better that she picks that stuff out herself)

You do too!

Haha! I think this is exactly what makes gift shopping difficult, I read your list and most the items you like I prefer not to get as a gift but the items you recommended a date skip I think can make the perfect gift. As an example I am particular about the products I use on my skin as I have a few allergies to common skin care products, I don't enjoy chocolate and flowers though I love them when I'm at home are hard to deal with when I'm travelling.
I enjoy when clients pick up shoes, clothing or handbags as it gives me an idea of their taste and though  some items aren't practical for everyday use (think delicate lingerie) I enjoy having that variety and seeing how others envision me as well. If they've picked out a dress for me it's clearly reflective of how they envision me and I'm the one that put my image out there so I enjoy seeing how it has been received.

I think from a client standpoint it's important to remember is everyone is different and when you get to know a lady it becomes easier to shop for her but until you know her I think it's tough to navigate. I have found some of the best gifts I've received on a first date is something that is of personal interest for my date, a favorite book they have read, a music CD or flash drive (the modern version of the mixed tape), even an article they wrote - someone once gave me a copy of their dissertation as they knew it was in an area of study I was interested in and that it was something very unique and personal to them. A gift never has to be expensive but I think if you want to capture that date feeling then providing something unique that has a story behind it, a simple story about how you have a particular flower in your garden or toured a wine region and discovered a favorite, all helps to create that atmosphere.
One thing you can do if you are at all unsure of the gift to provide is ask the lady a few questions in your correspondence, simple questions about her travels, her hobbies, favorite sports or perhaps interest in wines will provide insight. She doesn't need to know that it's for a gift but a lady that says she does yoga to keep in shape may enjoy a gift cert. for classes or a massage, new workout clothes or a new water bottle. If she reads you can share a book that you enjoy and if she enjoys music give her some of your favorites.

On consecutive dates you can always be a little more creative or practical, I personally love a mix of either and love when someone picks up something I can wear or as one person gave me... a new mattress - for my home though I think he was a bit sad he didn't get to test it out he did get a photo of me testing it out solo.

I feel so bad for her. You sicken me....

lmao...

As for chocolates, last time I gave boxes of chocolate to a visiting girl she gained enough pounds over a period of few months that she ended up being a size or two over my ideal size. lol

She claims I was partly to blame. lmao
Now I give her something else.

...........it tells the lady that you look at your time together as a date; not a session.  Cash is nice, but unless the lady really can use the extra money, I would go with a gift.  It does not have to be outrageous, but a bottle of wine, flowers, or her favorite perfume, goes a long way.  Also, I like when my gentlemen friends take the time to enclose my gift in a card; not an envelope.

Hugs and Kisses

LOL. Because we women love getting gifts!

The best gift is a return visit, a TER review, DATY, and adding time and/or Greek to the table. After that, all I want is lingerie! I have a wish list on my site but really - all I want is lingerie!

I specifically say on my site for guys to NOT bring me wine and candy. I'm dieting and these things are no good for me getting to a 10/10 appearance! LOL. Work with me hobbyists!

Best advice is to look at a girls site for a first date. Then afterward, give something personal.

Kisses,
Katie

Well when I said "women", I was actually talking about myself, lol!

Drunk Asian,

You are a gift.  A precious gift from God.

I love the responces.  I do check out the ladies websites but sometimes, like the lady I'm about to see they don't provide a nice list.  so all inputs are appreciated.  I would think candy or open food would be suspicious.  I would think stuffed animals could be cute or backfire.  I am taking note so I can make the gifts special.  I do look at these sessions as a date and since most if not all these ladies are not in my leagues I want to show them how much I appriciate them spending time with me

I was joking about you, you fucking dumbass!

I've gotten compliments,for giving Bath N Body Works gift cards(they also have candles,ladies love candles).

is appreciated.I do not like candy so I would not want that as a gift.I love lingerie as a gift and surprisingly the gifts that I have received that were lingerie were actually very nice.The reason why I say surprisingly regarding lingerie is because I feel it is an intimate gift and every lady has her style of lingerie she likes.When speaking with a lady may be you could ask her a couple of questions on her hobbies or her favorite color gives you more of an insight into what she likes.You can never go wrong with a gift card to Victoria Secret's or some other lingerie store,Macy's,Neiman's.Hell,I would have no problem if I got a Target gift card.I also have had gents give me books as gifts since I am a avid reader.
For me it is more the idea that a gent took the time to consider me and provide a gift no matter what that gift was.
My preference is more repeat business while I do enjoy the gifts don't get me wrong I rather him see me again now that is better than a tip IMO.
Just my .02

However, I never tried, because I want keep good relationships and I am not certain this would be appreciated.

I think it may not be so easy to get a vibrator/dildo for most women because of it has to be received from mail and the whole process could be embarrassing.  Even providers would like to tell others: I don't need to masturbate, I am a good woman and I don't do that ...

To be safe, I brought mall department store shopping cards many times to providers -- especially during the holiday season.

I'd skip the dildos/vibrators.  I've received so many sex toys as gifts, I've literally run out of space in my drawers and most are still in the packaging, unopened.  That is a nice idea but a lot of guys have the exact same idea...  Do lingerie instead if you want to get her something sexy.

Any gift is appreciated. Just make sure to ask what she prefers. I had a guy get me chocolates once but sadly they had nuts in them which I am severely allergic  It was the thought that counted though! Giving lingerie is kind of not my thing...only because the sizes in lingerie vary so differently from one brand to the other. I wear a M in Victoria secret but in Fredrick's lingerie I'm nearly and XL. Likewise I have a wide chest with full C's and sometimes those stupid premade cups don't fit and I feel terrible if a guy went through the trouble to buy me lingerie and it doesn't fit!

But if you ask she can gladly tell you what she prefers. But on the safe side a tip of cash is always appreciated(even just $20)

The best gift of all,,RESPECT,,always be a gentleman. It doesn't matter,if you're rich or poor,good looking or ugly,good manners and being polite speaks volumes of who you are. Another ideal,with the fall/winter months approaching,,how about a tanning package? My last provider,really loved the package,that I got for her.

It's not hard to develop some kind if connection with your lady of choice. If there's any way possible, I want to find some way to find something that will make her laugh....and hopefully remember me fondly.

The more you can get something for "her"...not just get something, the better the chance of endearing yourself. Lingerie is too easy....but if you know her sizes, go to Bebe. Even if she doesn't like it, she can always exchange it.

Best story??? Went to LA last January. Top 5 night with Onna Capria, seeing her wear my selection was icing on the cake. Next night....not so well. Lady (name withheld to protect me!!) showed up, and it was evident she was not the girl in the pics...and not in a good way either. I gave her some lingerie...and she was upset that it didn't fit. I said something like "Well, it's the size of the girl in the photos.". True, but probably not my finest moment.
