We have established that many of us really enjoy getting gifts, but don't really need something major that would make our partner feel uncomfortable or like they are having to spend money just to get our favor. I think it would benefit many subs to read what you consider the best gift you ahve ever received and why. And if the best gift is too personal to share (mine is), then a really great gift you appreciated and that made you just plain feel cared for.

I'll start. My best gift was under the cabinet lights for my kitchen. When we bought this house 9 years ago i wanted those lights. Have mentioned it to any number of people including husbands, lovers and friends. When my partner started hanging out here alot last summer i came home one day to see the lights on the counter. We installed them together that weekend. His reason for buying them? He knows how i love to cook and knew that i would be able to see better if i had the lights, and he just wanted to make me smile. Yes, i think of him almost every time i turn them on or off, and even now it gives me a warm feeling inside.

There's a story behind it.  But it cost less than a dollar and why I liked it so much was because it had relevance, was funny and showed he was paying attention.  Same person also bought me a custom made emerald necklace of a unique design on the grander scale of things. I like that too.

Status: offline 		For me the Best Gift Ever: After a long day's work, on my feet, coming home to a meal (Shrimp Scampi and breaded fried Okra.I know cholesterol city! *lol*) A nice buublebath, ( with my favorite scent of course! Warm Vanilla Suger, by Bath and Body Works.) My sub washing all the parts of my body,gently and paying close attention to each part.  A foot and leg rub, Eating dinner in front of a fireplace, soft bluesy music on the stereo system, (me in a satin robe and nite gown, and my sub au naturel.) A very decadent chocolate cake, the kind where you can only eat in small portions because it is so rich. And of course, slow lovemaking in front of the fireplace. **sighs**

Status: offline 		My best gift? The most recent one that sticks in my mind is having my nails polished after returning from a trip away. Master went out and bought a nail buffer, amazing in itself! and gave me a proper French polish after first giving my back a lovely rub with an exfoliating cream. The sight of his head bent over my hands, giving all his attention to the job just to please me melted my heart

Status: offline 		Mistresses,
Thank you for sharing, and all your ideas are wonderful. It seems that most of the ideas (the exception of the emerald necklace) are gifts given after a relationship is formed. In a relationship it becomes easy to find that special gift or make that special gift because their is a sharing of intimacy between two people (even casual play partner share intimacy on some basis). I would like your ideas on gifts to present a Mistress in the absence of such intimacy, or even on a first time meeting. Any takers?

I was once in a busy store on a Friday night, and a young man walked to the checkout carrying a single red rose. I'll swear the eyes of every woman followed him, and they were all thinking, wish it was me getting that flower...

But, I'd say one of the most thoughtful gestures was when my sub interest at the time ran a bath for me and then poured me a glass from the bottle of wine he had purchased for me on a weekend trip to Sonoma and Napa. He left me alone to enjoy my bath, poured me more wine when needed. Small, simple gestures, but all done without being forced or requested.

On another site, I had a picture up for the longest time, with a single red rose poised in an ever so artistic spot.  For several months, there was one in particular who would always mention his envy of that solitary rose.  I finally gave in and agreed to meet him, even though he was some distance away.  Long story short, today, I have three silk roses that sit on top of My computer desk, and a poem entitled, "Never Give Up", which was written by him.

Status: offline 		There's a common thread here. It's not about the "stuff" it's about the experience. In other words, it's not what you give but how you give it that is memorable. You could beautifully gift wrap a candle, write a lovely card to say that you hope it will light up her life, and present it naked, wearing only a frilly pinny (now there's a wonderful visual...) and it would mean more to her than the emerald necklace.

Whenever Fox gives his body fully into my hands to change and mold that is a precious gift.

His ears pierced to mark our 7th year was the most amazing gift to this point.

Status: offline 		Actually the emerald necklace along with the straws were gifts after an established relationship.  I'm not sure why you would assume it was otherwise.  I would never have accepted such a gift from a complete stranger nor would he have known the particular design that would have appealed to me without it. 

This particular person and I have been together for awhile now and throughout our relationship we have given each other numerous gifts.  Most of them are small and include books, cards, poems, pictures, cd mixes, t shirts, etc.  The reason I cherish the gifts are because all of them had meaning that went beyond "it's a gift giving time" and instead were about something.  Sometimes it was time apart, expressing how much he misses me, others were specific to a situation, or something we saw together or something I mentioned.

If I was to receive a gift from someone who did not have that intimacy, I would like something fairly generic.  Something that would be easy to use or add to my home without the person knowing my personal taste yet.  Perhaps a gift card, spa day, book, music, art, candles, photo album, small trinket, bottle of wine.  Personally, I would prefer anything that showed some thought and referenced something I mentioned.  Even with the exchange of a few emails before a meeting, a person should be able to get at least an inkling of a few things I enjoy.
