Cabinet of Curiosities

Like any cabinet with treasures, this one is kept under lock and key. Access is granted to patrons only.

Gifts are never compulsory, but they are customary. It’s a mark of attentiveness and a gesture of pleasure. To present a gift to the woman you admire is a tradition centuries old.

Each piece may be given in person during our date, or through a voucher for the exact value of your chosen item. To enhance the experience for us both—and preserve the element of surprise—please let my assistant know which piece to remove at Adele@alexandra-flores.com. To preserve the ritual of gifting, I do not accept generic vouchers or cash tips.

For tour dates, most patrons choose gifts in a range that reflects the engagement itself—often equivalent to the date fee. Though naturally, many have delighted in offerings both above and below. As always, it’s not the size—it’s the intention.

Due to my frequent travel and love of collecting, I may be unable to accept a gift outside of this list, unless, of course, it suits my tastes exactly.
