So true.
Back in January I gave my favourite guy a bottle of Bulgari Extreme eau de toilette and he was over the moon - absolutely thrilled! On a previous trip I had a bottle in the bathroom and he had asked me if he could squirt some on. He really loved it, but I didn't give it to him as it was almost empty.
And this April trip I bought him another bottle of EDT; this time it was a different brand. I just love it when I see the guys' eyes light up! I gave it as a present, not a tip or in lieu of money.
One of the boys in the bar has a birthday coming up. As I'll be back in Bangkok then, I asked him what he would like as a present. Knowing I buy this stuff for one of my boys, he immediately said he'd like a bottle of Calvin Klein EDT.
Done!
So now I've found a go-to present the guys really appreciate.
