Gift ideas for my T travelling overseas?

evaevaMember
she leaves in a week and I really want to give her something small for her safe travel (she'll be flying 'home' on the other side of the world for a month).

At the moment I'm thinking of finding a small stone and painting and varnishing it to give to her.

I don't expect her to take it with her - I'd be happy enough just giving it to her as a token - ie, the idea behind it being more important than her using it as intended (if that makes sense).

has anyone else done this? I did consider (briefly) getting her a gemstone symbolising safe travel but I think something I made would fit better.

I have no idea if she accepts gifts or not - but taking the risk to ask her for a transitional object and her re ones has given me the courage to consider doing this. I feel a bit safer taking the risk as I guess (at the moment anyway!) more of me believes she will accost it than to say no.

Thanks GG - I think you're right about it being like a transitional object but reversed.... And it is a really good idea because even though I CAN have a note written by my T to use while she's away, I'm increasingly doubtful it would be a good thing.... It leaves me feeling a bit icky - don't know why....

I took the dogs for a walk and I found some stones Smiler.

One stone especially stood out. Small and lightweight. I'll let you gown we how I get on with painting it

I was wondering if you gave your therapist the stone ElizaJ before she left and what her reaction was?
I have given my therapist a few things over the years , but never anything before a break.It is quite a comforting idea that she would have something with her I think.
I would die for a note.My therapist would never write a note, so I am particularly jealous that you may of gotten one .

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
