Does anyone give their clients a Christmas gift?
I have a handful of really good, regular clients that I love the owners & the dogs... I am sure they are going to give me a Christmas bonus. What, if anything, should I give them in return? I was thinking like a basket for the dogs & a basket for the owners? Or maybe just a basket for the dogs? I don't know. Please let me know what you guys do? Thanks.
I'm not much for Christmas and don't like the sense of obligation. I always leave owners flowers and sometimes other small gifts, such as a jar of jam from Germany. One man likes Halloween, so I left toy spiders; another client got a catnip plant. Sometimes I send photos related to their interests.
I get cheap, but comfortable and cute fleece blankets for the pups to snuggle up with and plan to accompany that with small toy based on the dog and their habits
For my regular clients I always give cute pictures in cute frames. I go tho Kohl's for cute dog frames. I also go to the dollar store and get a lot of squeaky toys for the non toy destroyers. Also, if I know the dogs favorite treat I get that and I just do gift cards and a card for the owners.
