I've given my therapist several gifts, from a gift bag of cookies from a European bakery, to several books by an author I like and have talked about, and that are set in Ireland. She had just visited Ireland... She didn't want to take the books but she did. Then a couple of months later it was the holidays and I gave her a gift card in an adorable little handbag holder. She loved the little handbag but felt the gift card was too much so she limited gifts to once a year and she gave me an extra session at no cost to me. I kind of knew I was overdoing it, so I wasn't hurt. Besides she didn't nix them altogether. I think she'd also prefer small and/or meaningful gifts. I hadn't given her a gift in a long time so maybe I was trying to catch up. lol

I kind of like that the boundary has been established.
