Last year I gave flavored olive oil & vinegar combo set. This year he's coming back from a serious injury so I'm giving him an inspirational book about QB Drew Brees and his comeback. Gift cards are a nice idea but I would be concerned if they might feel offended if the amount was too low.
As long as it is enough to cover the cost of a blooming onion, I think it's GTG.0 -
I always feel weird when clients give me presents, given the fact that they are paying quite a lot of money for the training. I feel like they are giving me a "gift" twice a week. But that's my own mishegas-it's not like I turn anything down.
My clients have learned to get me gift cards to a local wine store, so I'll be heading in next week for some French burgundies that I normally can't afford.

Maybe I should give my trainer the £1500 piano that the kids feckin' avoid like the plague
I'm not bitter0 -
I got mine printed marshmallows cos I like gifts that make me smile
Some have his face on, some have his logo (I nicked them from his website) and some have special messages on them ...I thought they'd make his daughters laugh so they are all clean and appropriate...I should have done another box filled with expletives
I think giving gifts that are work related are kinda mean ..

Are you hunting for a new trainer?

It's like a present for the teacher - so an apple is appropriate

Oh c'mon. All I'd like for Christmas is a new 10-key adding machine.
The marshmallows sound great. Where'd you order those?0 -

Many of my clients give me small gifts. Ones I like the most are gift cards to restaurants.

May I ask how much the gift cards are worth? I got him a $20 chipotle gift card because we talk about chipotle all the time. But I'm not sure if it's too little of an amount?0 -
