I totally disagree! I have received books from a wishlist many times in the past and they are some of my favorite possessions.
Need Advice - Christmas Gift for SP?

Thanks for the advice! I guess cash and jewelry seem like the best contenders given the results of this thread. I was thinking of books, perfume and makeup but I can see why those might be a bad idea.First off, getting your favorite ladies a Christmas gift is a very sweet gesture. From personal experience, this does not happen often, most guys just pay-per-play and leave it at that for whatever reason, so you'll definitely stand out for sure.
Second; You have a nice budget. 300$ per girl is alot of money for a gift. It will allow you to get something really nice.
If you don't know their tastes, then that can be tricky... I'd either get them a gift card, take them shopping or give them the money sealed in an envelope with a lovely little note telling them how much you appreciate them and what they do for you. If there is a true friendship between the two of you, then I would tell them how much you value this special bond you have.
Money? I love receiving cash and I know many other ladies that would say the same. So many people need money to pay off their debts and bills to finally be able to breathe and relax more, so clearing debts is a beautiful gift itself. Why do you think we work?
Jewelry? Swarovsky and Pandora are nice. I'd buy something neutral and classic that she can wear often, and not just on rare occasions.
Clothes and Lingerie? Personally, I'd rather get a gift card or go shopping with you and select what I want. I'm picky on clothes and color, and sizes differ so much between models and brands... It might look good on the hanger or mannequin, but not so much on me...
Massage/Spa? It's a classic and most ladies will love. But, honestly, many of my clients are certified massage therapists or are just really talented in giving massages, so I just don't need to go to spas as much anymore. But hot/cold tubs and saunas are a different thing, I love those, so soothing, and even better if they're far out of town to relax even more.
Music? Everyone loves music, so you can't go wrong with a gift card from a music store. Or even concert tickets
Books? If she's a smart girl, she'll probably enjoy something to read and read again.
Perfume? I'd buy the same she wears, not a different one, she might just hate it.
Makeup? Always nice, but makeup has expiration dates and she might already have too much. Eyelashes are my personal favorites.
Restaurants? As SPs we already go out on restaurant dates every month...
Food and Drinks? I don't consider this a gift...
You can also check if 300$ is enough for an all inclusive hotel stay somewhere like New York or elsewhere for a day or two, with hotel, bus and maybe food included. This I would love, as travelling is one of my passions.
If I was to pick for myself, I'd prefer getting something useful I can reuse and also remember you from:
- Cash (for bills)
- Jewelry
- Shoes, Clothes, Seasonal Jackets
- Decoration, Furniture or Electros for my place
- All inclusive mini trip somewhere
My only issue with jewelry is, I don't know about them but I have a few watches and chains but I always tend to wear the same one and rarely ever switch them. Mostly because I'm too lazy and am used to the feeling of the same jewelry piece.
Well I've seen them numerous of times and we are familiar with each other but it's still hard to identify an item that would improve her life / make her happy from casual conversations. Especially when I'm working with only $300. It's not like our conversations are "Life would be so much better with x"
I do want it to be thoughtful, which is why I want to avoid cash. While useful, it isn't too thoughtful IMO.
Women are different - they can never have enough jewellery like I can never have too many tools.
Don't try to select yourself - I always get (a sexy) salesgirl to pick for me!

Well, I could skip he Christmas presents and just go for a session with each on my fav regulars, pay cash like normal, but that would be more like a Christmas present to me.
In the spirit of giving, I like to do something special for the special Lady’s in my life.
If the girls are your regulars you should’ve at least know of their interests to at least buy them a gift cad that’s relevant. Girls who play sports can do well with a sporting life gift card. I once bought someone GC from Whole Foods simply because she’s healthy and loves organic foods. It’s easy simple and thoughtful.
And I bought books too as long as the topic is something she likes. She loves it!

The entire reason to partake in the hobby is the avoidance of the hassle of a relationship
Insane to even be considering this for a SP
Jesus, I can't believe this conversation. Some of you guys are losing perspective and you're in way too deep.
This is a business arrangement. (All bets are off if there is some sort of personal like thing going on between the 2 of you, if that's the case, then knock yourself out.)
I can't believe that you would pay a woman 300 or whatever for her time AND actually think about buying her a Christmas present on top as some sort of gesture of the season and or your feelings toward her.
In my world, my clients pay me. So I'm like an SP in a way. So Christmas is rolling around. Guess who is buying who a Christmas present. That's right. ME. I'm the Service Provider and I'm buying my regular good clients gift certificates at the LCBO or Restaurants, or for golf. And not just for C note either, more like 3, 4 hundred dollars a pop. Why? Because I'm providing the service and they are decent enough and pay their bills within 90 days and they aren't pricks to me. I value their business and want to keep working for them. It's a small give back on my part. (Along with the odd dinner or ticket to a sporting event throughout the year.)
So, if anything, she should be buying her good regulars a Christmas present. Not the other way round.

Lol, do you shake her hand when you leave like you would your accountant? Are you also in the same camp as those who tout "I'm not paying for her to cum!"?
Perhaps blow up doll is more your speed. The Japanese are coming up with some realistic robots too
I agree with Kirk as that was my first thought.
Do any SP's buy regular clients a good gift? Not something cheesy like a $50 Home Depot card or an extra 15 minutes of cuddling.

The SW industry is not the same as a traditional business / client relationships. It's similar but not the same IMO. The business of companionship and intimacy is not the same as reviewing financial statements.
It's also not uncommon for big companies to incentivise / wine and dine their best clients. Big companies got big expense accounts, these ladies are just trying to make a living.
+1. agree. My return biz is enuf. If I do buy something for a fav SP, it would be more like a $10 box of chocolates or $10-$15 bottle of wine.
As for the OP spending $300/SP, its your money and you can do what ever you want, So you may as well just give her the 300 cash instead of shopping and worrying about what to get.
10 or 300, it's just the thought that counts. right?
A sole proprietor, from a Realtor down to a contractor to even a guy selling cell phones will take their clients out
Golf and meals and all kinds of things like wine etc
Nothing to do with size of company big or small
I posted above the idea of buying a gift for a SP is insanity
Would you tell her you got the idea in the terb lounge or would you pretend to her that it was your idea? Sorry, but either way puts you in the boring, unimaginative (and insignificant), bracket.
If you want your gift to be significant, you've got to think of it yourself, plus you've got to create it yourself.
By all means give her a book -- write a story based on one of your encounters with her, about how she felt about it.
Lingerie is nice. Knit her a string bikini.
A pearl necklace is a very nice gift, but if you want it to be significant, you'd have to dive for the pearls yourself.
