i give my T gifts all the time i bake him brownies, i make him cookies but most often i bring him a singular lindt chocolate.. it's sort of our little thing. Once i gave him something that was very special to me, i won't get into the whole thing, but it was related to the Green Tara, who is a representation of the Buddha of compassion. He is so compassionate to me. i don't feel obliged to bring him gifts, there is no "need" as such.. i just enjoy it Where i come from it is tradition to give people things when receiving a service from someone like a doctor or lawyer or whatever. T delights in the things i bring and he has a wicked sweet tooth. oh.. i also like to bring two fortune cookies - and we open them and share our fortunes.

does your T disapprove of gifts? Some do i know and i understand the boundary... im just glad mine doesn't.

and btw.. anyone need to, check the general forum for an explanation of who i am, or was, rather. i had to delete my account.

peace and love
