Posted April 20, 2023 Is it expected to give above and beyond an agreed upon donation? I've read some that bring wine for GFE's. What about FBSM? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 22, 2023 I don't know about expectations, but I always bring a few extra small gifts that I think the lady may enjoy because I want to know I appreciate them. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparkling water and fancy soap is always a lovely surprise! 😊 but never ever necessary! On 4/20/2023 at 2:20 PM, eclyptic said: Is it expected to give above and beyond an agreed upon donation?

Posted April 22, 2023 Many times in addition to the tip, I give a Starbucks gift card and it seems to be an appreciated token. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 22, 2023 It gives us something to remember you, and our time together. Some give tips, and some little token. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. I had a client who used to bring me Swiss chocolate. Yummmm 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 29, 2023 My 2cents: I always try to bring something extra... But I choose things that don't impose a commitment on her part. For instance I bring cut flowers instead of a live plant. If I'm bringing a piece of clothing or other gift I work at trying to find out her style and needs so that it's something that she'll really like instead of something that she'll feel guilty about throwing away. I think consumables like water, tea, kombucha, wine (only if she indicates she wants/likes alcohol), small snacks that fit with her food preferences, etc are always a good idea. A card with a hand-written note is always better than a plain white envelope as a receptacle for the donation. Finally, it's rare that I don't give her extra $$. If you can't think of anything, extra cash is ALWAYS welcome. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 8, 2023 Yes, cash is super king.Gifts are never expected. However, ladies will always remember acts of kindness. 🥰🥰 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 11, 2023 I always ask if I can pick a lady up anything, whether it's food, drink, or anything they are lacking. I've picked up TP, a house plant, sodas, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and wines/spirits; even meals(sometimes its hard for visiting ladies to get out and about). I guess the main thing is..... just ask! You never know what might be asked of you. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ehhh maybe not, I would ask the lady first. I do not drink, so if a new friend brought me wine....it would be wasted. I love flowers, some ladies don't. So I would ask before you spend your money. Instead of spending your money on a gift, give her a tip. That is always appreciated! Edited June 5, 2023 by Ms T DDD Adding 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 13, 2023 I do like to be asked if I would like anything. I love fresh berries and water 💦💦. And sometimes an IV would be beneficial, but calling the EMT might be awkward. It is always always the thoughtfulness that counts ❣️ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
