I usually have my farrier out sometime in December and just make the check out 
for $50 more after he is done shoeing.  So you shoers are really uncomfortable 
with that?  I didn't want to give baked goods etc because then hes having to 
ride around in his truck all day with food sitting there.  wait, maybe that 
Would be a good thing (-:

I have to say, I am with Jen in VA (Hi Jen!) on this--I was a farrier for 15 years and was uncomfortable with cash gifts, but a certificate for a massage, or a gift card or something similiar was incredibly welcome.  I groom dogs now and get tipped with almost every transaction, even though I own the business.  I have not raised my prices in years, though, and my regular clients tip me in appreciation of that as well as for a good job.
