I think gift giving/receiving is contextual and can be complicated. The desire to have a gift displayed forever seems to reflect a child's attachment feelings. If a T chooses to accept a gift, I would hope they would be cognizant of the context of the relationship and the gift.

For a client not relating within a child's attachment, gift giving can be far more relaxed and flexible and mutually enjoyable, as it can be in other relationships. I think the potential for conflict or difficult feelings arising is probably highest for clients whose attachment is both child-based and unconscious, and with Ts who aren't well versed in the psychological aspects of context in gift giving.
