I bought a gift for each of the therapists in DBT group (the group leader is my individual therapist and I'll be seeing the co-leader when T is on vacation over the holiday).
I bought co-leader T a rain stick (thought she might be able to use it in therapy) and I bought individual T an Indonesian percussion instrument (she collects percussion pieces).
I didn't ask either of them if they accept gifts so I know I'm taking a chance, but I think from what I've seen of both of them that they will accept the gifts. If not, I know better than to take it personally (at least that's what I tell myself).
Was this a good idea?

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
