If your SW is with a group, it's probably more complicated for him to accept gifts - but truly, I don't think it is a reflection of you, but more likely a reflection of the system in which he works. My pdoc doesn't exactly play by the rules all the time, so I never questioned whether or not I could give him a gift, and both of my therapists were on their own (not affiliated with a group) when I gave them gifts, so they never refused. Perhaps you can just bring it and show him and tell him what you told us about wanting to say 'thanks' for showing you that you have value - that would mean a great deal to him, I am sure!
You are wonderful, JYL.
