hi,
i don't think it shows you are "needy" to give a gift.
it all depends on the T relationship and your feelings.
I've given my T a lot of gifts in the 8 years I've seen her. Usually hand-made things or meaningful things I want to share with her.
Giving something that is meaningful to you, to someone you care about (and someone who cares about you) can be a precious thing for both.
My T has been grateful when I've given her something that i made for her.
Different t's have different gift-giving policies. I'm glad my T accepts gifts and feels grateful when i give her something.
