I have given my T lots of gifts. When she was going through something, I gave her flowers. Last year I learned how to make infinity scarves, so I made her two. When we "terminated" frequent sessions, I gave her a ton of gifts: two quartz flash rocks (glow when you strike them together), an agate slice, a pin of a flower make with beads, a fairy house made from a birdhouse, a survival kit (i.e. Marbles: When you feel like you lost all yours), a painted glass butterfly pendent, a metal embossed tree of life, and a crocheted flower.

I like giving my T gifts. Yes it feels childish (at least to me it does), but my desire to give her the gifts outweighs the embarrassment. I love that she accepts them. She of course doesn't want anything too big or too expensive. Most of my stuff is cheap. I just like doing things for her and showing her my appreciation. You don't get to do that a lot in a one-sided relationship.
