Guest S***e Report post Posted September 26, 2009 Over the years, I've brought some relatively conservative gifts for SPs I've visited on an incall basis. It is difficult, however, to select something that will be enjoyed after an initial visit so I've limited them to perhaps boring items such as: gift certificates (for music, a restaurant, clothing etc.); a bottle of wine after determining what her preference is; a CD of a desired artist; flowers. It does become easier as time goes on especially when I become a regular or somewhat regular and I become better acquainted with her likes/dislikes. More often than not, when I enquire as to what she might like, I'm told to just bring myself. I can imagine that over the years many ladies have received some wonderful gifts from clients and on the other hand have received some really tacky or weird presents as well. As I said, I tend to be quite conservative and try to be thoughtful in whatever I bring if anything at all. Probably my most frequent gift has been a CD of her liking or a bottle of wine...can't afford a Ferrari or a trip to Monaco, however. So, just for fun.... Guys: Your thoughts and experiences? Ladies: Some favorites and not so favorites...or just plain weird gifts from clients? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caveman 147 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I've only been hobbying for a little over a year now, and I haven't really got a "regular" yet. However, for the ladies I have repeated with, my approach is generally to pad the envelope rather than bring gifts. I figure that I probably don't know what she *really* wants, so why not just give her the opportunity to get it herself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest S***e Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I agree as I've done this on occasion myself in that I had no idea what might be wanted or useful. Certainly, that way she can do with it as she sees fit. I've only been hobbying for a little over a year now, and I haven't really got a "regular" yet.

NotchJohnson 214136 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I'm still relatively new to the hobby, I started in January this year but had been a member of CERB since October last year. I consider myself a gentleman and want to please the ladies as much as everyone else on here but there are some do's and don't. For example in February ( the 14 th. ) I bought some flowers for a sp that I was seeing for the first time and after giving her the bouquet she did not even thanked me for and just put them on the counter like she was removing her sunglasses. I was a bit dissapointed by this and it left me thinking " do I really need to bring these girls anything " - "No" but like I did with some ladies after was giving compliments about them, only if I really meant it. For example her eyes or smile or legs and face. After seeing an sp for several times I will bring her something special that she or we could use and appreciate. I do not believe that we need to "butter her up" before the big date as it will not change her attitude or service given to us, IMHO. Please do not take this as I'm heartless, just been stepped on too often and taken advantage of in the past. I still consider myself a newbie in here even though my status says senior, and everything can change. I love being here on cerb and talking to all of you hobbiest and sp's alike.:grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grass_Hopper 18263 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 In the pass six months in this beautiful town, I've received gifts that guys have really done a research to find... I had a candle holder for my new appartment (I LOVE smell of candles...); Porto (Mmm!); Nice meals in great restaurants (always appreciated...) And ones that I don't appreciate at all... (dope...) Never received toys though... And of course, tips are always welcome... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coachg 388 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 Gifts are a rather difficult thing figure out until you get to know the lady...usually for the first time with a SP, I will just pad the envelope for an exceptional time, then they are free to treat themselves to something they really like. I tend to lean towards a few favorite ladies, so as I get to know them better, it gets easier to buy them little gifts that carry some meaning. One other fun way is just to go shopping, be it in a sex shop or just a normal store and let them pick out things they would like. I have always had good luck with flowers and sometimes they have been used in our little games....ahh, a fond memory. It is a great experience just to go and meet these ladies on a completely different level..it certainly turns up the heat during the intimate moments. I also have given special coins as gifts, keychains and other small stuff that carried some special meaning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

etasman2000 15994 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 Some ladies have a list of gifts on their website. I recall one in BC who ask that you donated to her favourite charity. Failing which ask them when you set your appointment. Chocolates are a good stand-by. Personally I've given chocolates, flowers, wine, hand crafted scarves and a bookmark.

geo007 203 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I like to bring a little something when I meet an SP. To date, flowers and belgian chocolates. I appreciate the diversity being expressed above and it will guide me in future gifts for our special ladies. Cudos for the thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capitalman 3861 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 One girl I know and like has her "wish list" posted on her website. One of the items is very exotic and extremely hard to find cookies. I decided I'd get her those. I looked all over, finally getting something from the same manufacturer but not the exact cookie, as I was told they could not be brought here in the summer due to them melting too much! I arrived at the girls place, gave her the cookies and what did she say? "Oh cookies, thanks." I go "They're almost your favourite ones, they're so hard to find!" "What? Oh that's just something my website designer put on there to be silly....I don't care about those cookies." Since then I don't give a rats ass what a girls website says. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cat 262460 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I have received so many trinkets over the years and every one of them really made me smile. The one that has touched me the deepest wasn't a gift, it is a "loansie". The art in my condo was loaned to me by a very dear friend and they touch me daily when I'm here. The fact that he would consider me a caretaker of such treasures touched me in ways I never expected. Altho I know one day I will have to return them, I soak the energy they have up every chance I get. Perhaps by the time he needs them returned I could actually pay for them. In the mean time they grace my walls and add so much to my days in Ottawa. My second favorite is cash. I always have something that needs to be paid and that makes me smile when I can cross it off the list. Fresh flowers and delicacies to nibble on are a treat that I appreciate and any gesture above and beyond is welcome... Cat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerican 657 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I haven't really done traditional gifts too much, but since I favor morning encounters I tend to always bring a sampling of snacks and beverages. Whether it be their favorite coffee beverage and fresh cut fruit, a mixture of chocolates and truffles or sparkling water and montreal style bagels (or in some cases cookies ;)). I love food and I also tend to meet and re-visit people I genuinely enjoy spending time with in many ways, so having these simple but tasty meals to enjoy together gives us time to chat for a bit. Now sometimes the meals are eaten after an hour or two, it all depends on how much we were looking forward to seeing each other!:twisted: Gifts are tricky though, I would love to buy some of my favorite people some toys as that is the gift that keeps on giving, just need to find out what they need/want!

Guest S***e Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I've noticed that myself on a number of SP's sites...I like the idea of a charitable donation to their chosen cause. I haven't done that yet, but I like the concept and the altruistic nature of it. Some ladies have a list of gifts on their website. I recall one in BC who ask that you donated to her favourite charity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I have received nice gifts. From Jewelery to chocolate. It is so nice to get a gift. It is a nice surprise. It makes a girl feel special. To me it doesn't matter what the gift was. It's the fact that you were thinking of me. Enough to express it with a gift. The fact that you have done something that you didn't have to. Deserves at least a thank you and extra special bonus sex, lol. P.S. Capitalman I'll eat your cookies any day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annessa 22743 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I've received perfume, flowers, chocolate etc perfume is very hit and miss and should probably not be given to an SP unless you have an idea that she wears something similar, otherwise she may end up with a perfume that really isn't her style. I've been lucky that in all three cases its been something that I liked and one client even went through the trouble of finding out what perfume I wore and buying me a big bottle of it...which was really nice because it wasn't a cheap brand and I was almost out of my bottle. chocolates are fun but not everyone has a huge sweet-tooth. I dont and only really like dark chocolate in small amounts, probably one of the reasons I never really eat dessert, lol One couple I went to see always sent me home with their home-made bakings, spanikopita and cheese pastries and oranges even! I Thought the gesture was really cute...like they were packing me a lunch everytime I left that would last me a few days and was delicious and home-made :) Lastly I saw one client recently who sealed the donation in a card with a letter in it that was riddled with compliments...very simple but a truly wonderful addition to our date. I thought the notion was so sweet because it was straight from the heart, and thats something no material item can replace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E.D. man 691 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 I have have bought several gifts over the years. from key chains to liquor to flowers, I think the most appreciated gift I gave to an SP were some small trinkets i liked and she appreciated it. So one day we were talking about religion and Angels (sic). So after the Bus strike and my trip to Vegas i gave her chips from the casinos i went to and 2 key chains one with dice and the other with an Angel . She was really appreciative and seemed excired. I t made me feel good.:ablow::D:cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted September 26, 2009 My idea lately for the ladies and I, has been bringing OJ/Champagne(if they drink) and then some fruit, may it be strawberries,melon,grapes, normally stop at a food store it is freshly cut up that day (and cool whip to play with.. at eat:69:). I have brought some home made CD'S for the ladies to keep the music, but we listen to it, always ask what type of music they like first. I have also bought ladies vibrator's and have left for them as a gift, that way when they play with them they might remember me. Overall the best gift, to give a special lady (ALL ladies are very special) is a positive,relaxed,clean-hygiene and gentlemen type attitude. Then tip her nicely when you leave.That way your lady of the day or evening can go and buy what they deem what is necessary.:wink: 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungStud 468 Report post Posted September 27, 2009 Things that you know she likes based on establishing a good relationship with her and understanding her tastes and needs. Once someone has because a regular (see the separate thread on that), I've given everything from beverages to jewelry; books and DVDs, gift cards and food items, phones, clothing, computers and cameras. But always very personalized to the woman's tastes. And make it a surprise as often as possible. For example, the other week, during a visit, my LTR/fave mentioned she was planning to go shopping that weekend at her favourite clothing store because they were having a sale. After the date, I dropped by the store, which was nearby and bought a gift card. I then texted her than I had "forgot something" and had to return to her place. As I had not left anything at her place, she was puzzled at first when she opened her door - until I gave her the gift card. So, spontaneous, personalized, thoughtful and unexpected, in my view, are the best ways to give gifts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
