Always wanted to serve a Dominant but you have less financial spending capacity
A guide to the gifts I love to receive from those who wish to give either their time, skills or money in ways which best serve me
I believe that if you want to give to your dominant but do not have a lot of money there are certainly ways in which you can enrich the dominants life. The first question is what are the skills you have that could be useful to them?
Rather than thinking that every gift has to been impressive or immense, think about the things that would be useful for your dominant and their life. Ask them what are the small things you could do that would be of best value? You can often find the thing that your dominant likes out by following them twitter but it’s often best to ask them in person as not every dominant might want what your gift.
Here is a list of things which I would be delighted if a submissive gave to me, some of them involve time, other involve skills. This is tailored to me but the most important questions to ask yourself are: what skills do you have; what is your capacity and is this a gift your dominant would like to receive?
I have tried to make some themes for giving but obviously these are loose themes, they could all overlap or not and I could have put every job into the skills based giving as no job is unskilled so please do not see this as a judgement.
Now, over to what I enjoy.
Options that are free/low minimum financial requirements
Gardening. I personally love plants, if you have green fingers or work at a garden nursery could you grow some plants for me? My favourite plants are: rare bromeliads; rare succulents; monsteras (I for example would love a Rhaphidophor Tetrasperma (aka mini monstera)); most hanging plants (I have the chain of hearts and zig zag plant but I would love a chain of pearls and chain of turtles). Perhaps you can give me some cuttings or you could propagate some a new plant for me.
Pay for a drink/juice for me once per week (this can be done by beemit if you are in Australia). I personally gave up coffee over two years ago but I am mad about T2’s Gunpowder Green Tea and Lapsang Souschong.
Do you have a twitter? Retweet me. Comment on my posts (obviously be well mannered).
Do you grow food in your garden or an allotment? I love home grown fruit and vegetables, pickled foods or preserves. This would delight me, especially if the garden was organic. Please do let me know what you grow as there are some foods which I do not eat (such as celery).
Raiz app allows you to round up your change when you spend on a card and invest that money into shares. If you spend $25.27 then it would round up the spending to $26 and invest the 73c into shares. They are lots of really small amounts when you spend on card but they do add up. More info about the app can be found at: www.raizinvest.com.au
Skills based giving
Are you are a maker of art frames or do you have frames that are excessive to your needs? I have a large art collection and frames are expensive (I currently need two frames for A1 photos which I have yet to buy, perhaps you could make them for me?) and custom frames even more so. If you could make frames, I would love to have frames built to my specification.
Perhaps you fix/mend electronics and can offer to do this for me? I have a iPhone with a broken screen which I would love to not have to pay to replace.
Are you a dedicated foodie? Perhaps you could make me a series of pickled food? Jams?
Are you a mechanic, if so would you fix up my car and help reduce the cost of my registration?
I love personalised BDSM toys, would you like to make a specific whip/crop etc gift for me.
Maybe you are a make up artist and you can donate some make up for me or want to gift me either a make up tutorial or would you like to do my make up for a photoshoot?
Are you a potter? I would adore a beautifully set of glazed pots for me and my 65 house plants
Calling drawers, painters, graphic designers and creatives. Do you want to create a piece of art either of me or for me? Or would you like to create a logo for me? Again this would depend on the style of work which you made so please ensure that I would be happy to have it before making it for me.
Candlemakers I would delight if you would make a candle just for me, I love sandalwood and frankincense.
Store/Brand Discounts
Do you work somewhere where you could give me a discount at a store which would enhance my life? A list of stores which would be helpful for me to obtain discounts or products from: grocery; pharmaceutical; gardening store; electronics store; hardware store.
Calling all delicatessen workers. I love cheese and other foods and would be delighted to have a store discount to a store where I could buy cheese such as a mature cheddar or a gorgonzola at a discounted price (or sun-dried tomatoes). Get in touch if you would like to gift this to me.
Options with a pinch of money involved (under $20)
Maybe you work at a wine store and you wish to donate a bottle of wine once a month (or however many times a month/year). Perhaps you can’t afford to buy the wine but you get a staff discount which you are happy to let me access, or you buy me the wine with a discount and
Pay for my netflix ($13pm) or amazon prime or audible ($16) monthly subscription
Perhaps you are a stocking fetishist and want to buy a pair of stockings for her every month knowing that I will be using them in sessions with other clients?
Maybe you work in or own a whisky or a wine bar you can give me an exclusive tasting?
Maybe you own a wonderful house/mansion/apartment with divine aesthetics and you would be happy for me to use it for a day/half a day/a weekend and I could shoot some photos or just relax in it?
Do you have shares? Feel free to donate them to me.
I love cheese. If you want to spoil me you can buy me a cheese pack or buy my favourite cheese or anything with truffles in it (Truffilino is particularly delicious but if you know of a truffle cheese that is better I am more than willing to try it)
Buy me a book off my reading list. I adore science fiction and anti racism books (I absolutely love when these cross over with authors such as N K Jemisen or Nnedi Okafor). I am starting a reading list blog where the books I have most enjoyed and what I am most looking forward to reading can be found. Alternatively I would love a gift card to a book store such as better read than dead or glee books (not amazon because I care about workers rights, which they fragrantly do not)
Do you work in an AV store? Could you get me discounts on the products I need.
Buy me a box of lapsang souschong or gunpowder green tea as I drink them daily. You can either do this electronically and deliver them to my PO Box, BeemIt the money to me, or send me a T2 gift card.
Options for submissives that have met and served me in the past
Airline/travel store agents and want to donate in a very meaningful way, you can add me to your family and friends discount? This would need to be someone I had already built a relationship with as it involves exchange of personal details which I keep private.
Maybe you love cleaning and you want to take anything I want to the dry cleaner for me? Or you are good at organising and you can re arrange my stocking drawer or latex. For this project you would have needed to have meet me professionally before and I would send you away with the items to organise rather than let you into my personal space).
Perhaps you love leather care and boot blacking and you want to care for my boots boots and kink gear? Perhaps you want to give to me so much that these are skills you will learn to make me happy?
Perhaps you are a latex fetishist and you want to do a through deep clean and shine of all my latex? Or you would like to make me some latex?
Are you a chef or a home cooking enthusiast and you want to make me some delicious food dedicated to my exact tastes (again this would need to be someone I had met before in session and I had built a level of trust with, or perhaps worked at one of my favourite restaurants (for example firedoor etc)
As always my gift list can be found with larger gifts such as tech goodies, membership to cultural institutions (such as MCA etc) and BDSM gear
