What gift would you give your therapist?

With the holidays coming up, I want to by my therapist a nice gift. She's a little older but not old.

I hate buying gifts for people because I never know what to get. So waht would be a good gift? I don't want it to look like I just picked something off the shelf and wrapped it, because it's a close relationship I want it to be special.

I would even be willing to take some creative ideas and make something too. Any suggestions?

 I gave mine a Christmas wreath this year. Well, I give her one every year when I make them.

But a nice pen set would be nice, or a journal. That is all that I can think of. Maybe a holiday ornament to hang in the office?

I think most therapists and doctors don't like it because it breaches the line between the doctor/patient relationship and encourages a more personal interaction. I have only ever given presents to my therapists in my last session with them to say thank you.

I would leave it at a nice card with genuine sentiment. thats what i would personally do i guess. simple, but thoughtful.

OK, thanks everyone for your advice. I really had wanted to get something, but I understand now why it might not be the best idea with a therapist. But the reason I really wanted to get something was because I didn't want to come off as rude like I didn't care about it, and giving a gift is my silent way of expressing how thankful I am and appreciate of them.

Problem though, I'm a horrible writer so I have no idea what I would write! I know it's hard asking for help writing a personal letter, but I honestly am horrible at it. But i would like to do it.

 

Just write a short note from your heart,  letting you know you have made progress and how much working with her has helped you.  That will give her joy to know her time with you has been successful and let her know your respect her.

You will do a great job with this
