Christmas gift for the personal trainer?

Yes or No? I'm leaning towards yes, but I'm at a loss for the type of gift. Cash is out of the question, he gets enough of my money, haha.

I've been mulling this over myself, and have decided to definitely put my PT on my gift list, and I am going to give her the same as I give the cleaning folks: one week's pay in cash/visa gift card. Some part of me wants to be a little more personal about it, but I think this will be appreciated more.

My mom is a personal trainer and quite a few of her clients have gotten her gifts over the years.

Yes if I had a PT - I would get them a present

When I had a PT I used to give him a $25 gift card either to a restaurant or someplace like ***'s Sporting Goods.

I say yes... the problem is I like to do home-baked goods for people like that but something tells me my health-nut trainer wouldn't exactly appreciate my double chocolate fudge cookies... ETA Cash seems impersonal, but is also probably what they'd appreciate most so I will probably do that!

I personally wouldn't.  I don't understand when people give gifts to everyone they are aquainted with.  I don't even do gifts with friends, it is family only.

A personal trainer isn't an acquaintance; a PT is a service provider like a house cleaner. So a holiday gift is warranted, just like you would give one to your doorman, cleaner, etc. It's also why I've decided to give my PT cash instead of an item.

I'd do something generic like restaurant or movie gift cards. No need to go all out for your PT.

I have a personal trainer and Pilates instructor that I will be buying gifts for - they will each be getting a $50 restaurant gift card.

Now I have no clue what to get our cleaning lady... I've never met her and we just started using her 2 months ago...
