A dozen organic eggs plucked from the chicken coop that morning, and this was during that blip when eggs in my area were going for $8-$12/dozen (farm fresh organic probably closer to $20).
Tons of fruit. In California when the trees fruit, they fruit in mass quantities. Lemons, oranges, tangerines, pluots, persimmons, grapes, strawberries, pomegranates...
One client had her one Etsy store and gave me a pair of earrings she sells there.
A member of the Board of Directors a prestigious ivy league university my daughter was considering applying to offered to call the admission office and recommend her. We turned that down on moral reasons, but... dang.
Signed books from authors and musicians. Ended up in a famous author's house one time and got to see the movie poster of his book-turned-movie signed by all the top tier of Hollywood. That was cool.
A dentist gave me an electric toothbrush.
During the pandemic, one woman had a care package readied for me: kleenex, hand sanitizer, bottled water, snack bars, etc.
But my favorite (and most useful): One of my clients was a CFP who specialized in asset separations for divorcing couples. Happened to be right when I was going through an amicable divorce but we were having a problems figuring out how to divide a couple of the bigger assets. He provided us his services for free and were able to finalize our separation agreement right after that. |
