I've given How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, a dictionary, a reverse dictionary, suduko puzzle books, fresh tropical fruits, and a coconut shell bra. The stripper went crazy over the coconut bra----but, wanted the matching grass skirt (too expensive). Never gave, but should have: Resist Not Evil by Clarence Darrow, Free to Choose by Milton & Rose Friedman.
I got a strong hunch that a very nice Bible would go over very nicely----maybe a picture one for her child(ren).


Most out of character dancer gift:
For one particular dancer I gave her a cookbook for her husband and a handbook on writing for her. She's one who will not be in the industry very long.
