Giving a gift is becoming more normal as a client. There’s nothing wrong with showing up empty-handed, especially when you have no idea what to get your provider, but being in this for as long as I have, I feel a gift is sometimes in order. I usually go with a Visa card or something from the provider’s wishlist though nothing electronic that I, as the client, could track them with. I don’t say that because I wouldn’t do it; I say it because there are too many ways a gift like that can go wrong.
Before I learned much about the hobby, I wouldn’t have thought a gift like this would be a big deal. Gifting items like a phone, a smartwatch, headphones, or like you see in the picture a smart ring wouldn’t have been out of the question. These wouldn’t be my go-to gifts, but I know some clients who are close enough to providers where it wouldn’t seem strange. Then you start to learn the dark side behind giving devices like this and how some clients use them to their advantage.
Stories of providers being tracked by clients using these kinds of gifts are real. Some clients will gift a phone to a provider without her knowing it has a tracker installed. There are plenty of ways and apps that allow a client to link that new device to their own letting them follow the provider’s every move.
As far-fetched as it might sound, it happens. Some clients feel like it’s okay to know their provider’s every coming and going without realizing that it’s a major invasion of privacy. No matter how you try to spin it unless the provider knows she’s being tracked it’s unethical, disgraceful, and in some states, illegal. There’s zero reason to do something like this.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t get your provider a gift. If she wants one of these items and you’re able to give her that, do what you want. I’m just saying don’t be a fucking weirdo.
