My current idea is that he'd get me a Juicy Couture charm bracelet and each week, add a charm.
i love this idea. It shows a kind of commitment (albeit a small-ish one) for both parties. Charms can be chosen to represent specific events within the relationship, making it a very special, prized piece of jewelry. i would feel honored every time i saw it on their wrist. It could be used as a reminder of how heavily we were to display our respective roles (for example, if she wasn't wearing it at the office dinner party, for instance, it'd be a visual reminder not to call her Mistress in front of the other guests or expect overt displays of power).
While, yes, the necklace does at first blush seem similar to a collar, i'm also reminded of the sacred jewelry of Mythological Goddesses--seen from that context, it could indeed have very powerful symbolism for both you and your submissive.
"With each new charm added, the Goddess has greater power over me." <----that kind of thinking, for one.
i've "gone shopping" at malls with people in the past, they haven't all been Dominants, sometimes it was just a friend i was treating for their birthday, or a friend who was in the dumps about something or another and i knew enjoyed "mall therapy" (which personally i [:'(] doing with others, but it wasn't about me).
i spent time purchasing small little trinkets for people in each store (or specific stores) we wandered into--something they requested i purchased, something i recalled them saying they wanted in the past that we ran across, something that was related to a new interest, or simply something they lingered over, picked up, returned to, clearly showed interest in, etc. [This can be a fun "game": how close is the submissive paying attention to what the Dominant is doing? Can they pick up on the "ques" the Dominant is giving?]
There was an overall spending limit as well as a spending limit per store (defined by me in the case of friends, negotiated/agreed upon/ made clear in the case of Dominants).
Possibly the best shopping experience i had was with a Dominant at a hardware store. She was in need of repair items for her home, but didn't know specifics about the products needed. i got to show off my knowledge, feel valued for it, she got to grill me with questions, had a personal assistant/personal shopper recommending (and purchasing) the best quality & correct items (but not making the final decisions, of course). And afterward, i got to play plumber and she got the most fabulous new bathroom fixtures she hadn't completely realized how much she wanted.
In the case of the example above, i suppose the question is: What is the sub an "expert" on and what do you need or want? Perhaps they have a good knowledge of area rugs or cookware or furniture or digital equipment or new music or awesome import stores or sporting equipment or car parts or interesting books or tea or hosiery . . .well, you get the idea, i'm sure.
