Christmas Gifts for Favorite Rentboy

[Guest greatness]

No it's not.

 

Well he should have said "thank you" to you if he got it. It's a common etiquette.

 

 

I'm a little disappointed with my new favorite well-reviewed guy. I've seen him a couple times, and we seemed to click pretty well. I sent him a Christmas card with a gift certificate inside so it would arrive before Christmas to show my appreciation of him. Although we've texted a few times back and forth since then, I never received any kind of "thank you". I realize there's always a chance of the card getting lost in the mail, but its not likely. Am I wrong to feel this way?

Ask him "Did you get my card, wanted to make sure it wasn't lost in the mail." If he says yes, ok its kinda rude. but maybe he mailed back athank you. somepeople don't like to say thank you in person. or maybe it was actually lost

 

I agree with Tomcat. Ask him and don't be shy about it. Don't be surprised if he didn't get it though, as our mail system has LOTS of issues.

If it bothers you, then you need to ask. It may have never gotten to him or it may be that his sense of etiquette isn't the same as yours. If you ask, though, he'll know that it had some importance to you.

Absolutely ask

 

It sounds like you have some rapport with this guy. And how he replies will tell you a lot.

He can say, "I didn't get it." (And at this point he should also make some acknowledgement of the thought.)

He can say, "Oh, yeah, it came. Thanks." Rude to have not mentioned it on his own, but it gives you lots of information about him.

Or he can be charming about it, which may include a form of apology. "Good grief, didn't I thank you for that? I'm so sorry and thank you so much." Or even, "please forgive me...I am way behind with my thank-yous this year...it's been a crazy holiday."

 

Thank you for your query. ;-)

It is really quite simple....

 

Just ask

Christmas gifts

 

I give my regular clients a pretty hefty discount and a box of Godiva chocolates which I use to... well, you get the point. I am very grateful and blessed for the regular clients I have and am always looking for more...

[HoseMaster]

Thanks all for your replies! I appreciate it! I did text him about it during a mini "texting conversation", but he said he had been in bed for a few days with the flu and hadn't checked the mail in a while. That was over a week ago now, and still nothing. I'm supposed to see him again in a couple weeks, so I might say something like, "Did my card ever make it here (he lives in an awkwardly-numbered condo complex), or do I have to go bitch out the postal service?"

[NYTomcat]

That sounds perfect. This way you will know for sure what the situation is and will know if he is being rude or just hasn't gotten the card

Brooklyn Guy Makes Sense to Me...

 

All they really need for XMAS is....The GIFT that keeps on giving..Being a Regular!

 

Brooklyn Guy: Your observation makes a wealth of sense to me, too. Nothing genuinely says "Thanks for A Job Well Done All Year Long" than scheduling repeat appointments with your favorite escort(s) over and over again and compensating him well in 2010.

holiday gifts

 

From escort to client:

 

I'm a bad escort for this one. Last year, I gave cookies in two varieties: sugar cookies and nutty. I had to do two because of nut allergies. Both were bad because I helped so many exceed their holiday limits and diets. Not to mention, I found out some are diabetic but never brought it up.

 

I also sent out holiday cards last year but only to my guys who were single or their partner knew about me.

 

This year with the bad economy, I didn't get to bake for my guys; I sent out holiday emails instead of cards with discounted sessions offers.

 

 

From client to escort:

 

It does strike me as funny to think about an escort receiving a gift card when several of them work for cash only. On the other hand, I personally find gift cards are great especially when they aren't specific (ie, you can pretty much only buy coffee with a Starbucks card but you can buy a wide variety with a Target or Visa gift card). These do help the escorts who are working as such because of financial hardship.

 

Although this was never done for me during the holidays but at other times of the year, some of my clients have gifted fetish clothing. I've always appreciated the help in expanding my ability to please my clients. LOL

 

But to be honest, the most touching gift was a crochet blanket. It wasn't the best looking thing but sometimes it's the thought that counts. Gifts to your escort don't have to be bought or fit your guy. If your escort is really a good one, he's going to see how you feel about him regardless of what you give him. BTW, the client who gave me this is my favorite guy.
