By Gramyere: “I wonder if getting out will take her to a hotel room where they leave chocolates on the pillow for their customers, or to restaurants who provide after dinner mints gratis. Plenty of examples of chocolate giving in a professional manner.
chocolate mmmm”SO funny, Gramyere, you’re cracking me up! It’s good to bring some humour into this topic at this point!
Still, Yack and qwerty might have a point about professionalism.
I really never thought about it, how some ‘measly eggs’ could mess up things for the PI. It sounds like such a small thing to do, how can it have such a big effect?
Inexperienced I am!Really it is my first IP with my 1st tenants and may be more experience will tell me whether it is or isn’t a good idea to bother about gifts for tenants.
I suppose for people with 5 or more IPs they won’t dream of sending all these tenants gifts. Time will tell whether in my case I made a mistake or good choice.I don’t expect it to make any difference either way, it’s merely a gesture for the sake of it, and I doubt it will have any effect on how the tenants regard me as a landlord. (Let’s hope!)
Anyway the eggs and bunnies are on their way so there’s no turning back now.[wink]
*intercepts the bunnies and eats all the eggs so Cel doesn’t mess up her first IP arrangement and lose her fortune!!* MUAHAHA! [upsidedown]

Thanks, Kay, hehehe, hope you won’t mess up your sheets tonight from eating all those eggs.[puke]
which came first the eggs or the bunnies ???? [eh]
Have enjoyed folowing this thread it made me think and while I normally love giving gifts – I have now decided a plant at a non-event time may be the way to go. Have only had our IP 3 months and the tennant has already requested and got a new screendoor, and a carport is on the the agenda for next month, so we are spending way more than we are earning at present.
Each circumstance is different and at this stage I think spending dollars that keep the tennant happy and add value to our IP is our priority.
Gifts may follow at a later time.

Some of us do
But not on calendar events, as a thank you at a random point in the year.

That’s a good idea, too, Acey, that way it can be ‘spread out’ over the year and not so much spending all in the one week.
Pisces:
Een ei hoort erbijI was wondering, what do bunnies and eggs really have to do with Easter? Is there a legend or some history behind it?
