did you give your T a gift

That seems like a very interesting idea, although I think that a note (such as the one I gave a prior Therapist after our final session together) is probably better for me to use (since I stutter a lot among other things).

I didn't give my T a gift for the holidays because at this point in time, I think she would take it as me going too far to express how much I care about her. I don't think she would accept a holiday gift from any client, except perhaps a card, letter, or something handmade or creative.

Yes i sent her several gifts, but shipping to the other side of the world is very slow so the box hasnt arrived yet. Should be this week. Its some things she will love, plus some candy from our country that i know she misses having.

I sent a sweet "thank you" Christmas card to the office she works in. I included a Starbucks gift card as well. BUT...I made it all anonymous. I wrote in cursive so she wouldn't recognize my writing.
I felt too awkward even thinking about giving her something in person so actually doing it would have been really hard. So this way I got to show gratitude to someone who really deserves it, and she doesn't feel obligated in any way! Win-win!

I gave my T Chanukah cookies that I made. She always enjoys my homemade baked goods.

I gave T a necklace and pair of earrings I made and a card. It was an amazing card that spoke to both of us because we are both in the midst of huge life changes. She remarked how appropriate the card was, how beautiful the jewelry was, and hugged me.

I now know that T wears my jewelry. Her daughter married recently and pictures showed up through mutual friends on FB. She wore the necklace and earrings I made her last year at the rehearsal dinner.

I cancelled a months worth of sessions and ended up not seeing her during the holiday times. So instead, I sent her a card via mail to the office with a short note attached. Not my most personal of gifts or what i'd typically give (i've been told i'm a good gift giver) but the card said exactly what I would have thought to say anyway. Not sure if she got it yet, as I haven't spoken to her in a long time and at the fastest rate it would have gotten there on the last day before her break started, otherwise she should get it tomorrow. I think she'll like it regardless. =]

I didn't, but I'm going to take her back a little token present from my home place when I return to London. I think it will be okay to give her a gift, she spontaneously gave me something at our last session so I think that means it's okay to give little things sometimes.
