Jeffrey Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 It's easy to please our instructors. They really like homemade cookies. Best gifts come from the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWx Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Our whole school clubs together every year to give our instructor and his wife a gift.One year she got a spa-day... he got vouchers for a full body wax! so that he can feel the same pain he puts us through every session.

bushido_man96 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 If there's a reason to give a gift, it's usually a knife.That seems to be a purely American custom, most places in Europe would see that as being either symbolic of cutting the friendship or giving bad luck.Depends on the region, I'd guess. In America, a lot of people carry knives because they are very useful as a tool, are legal in most cases, and make for good self-defense in a pinch. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavn8r Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have been thinking of giving my teacher, when it seems appropriate, a framed calligraphy of the kanji for "gratitude".That's a nice one. I may use that. http://nofirstattack.com/gavn8rhttp://gavn8r.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizentai Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 My sensei is easy to please. He loves chocolates and antiques.One year I also threw a tea bowl set for him. He's one of those amazing sorts of people who never expects anything in return though.

Every time I go into the pet store I end up spending way too much money on cat toys. I agree, something for the cat would be good for a cat lover, but choosing what is the hard part. Maybe you should get him/her some whiskey, and catnip for the cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
