I'l attempt to keep this short.

My vet is opening her own practice, from scratch. I mean, she has the clientelle, but the building needs to be equipped and stocked....etc

she has always been good to us as far as fairness in pricing, and after hours service whenever needed, and she does a LOT for the rescues!

We (my husband and I) gave her a gift card as a combination thank you gift/good luck with your new practice gift, to help with set up (it is from Staples)

She says it is too much $$$ and doesn't want it because "you guys (us) already have so much on your plate."

I admit, sometimes I am generous beyond my means, but it is a blessing to give and I wanted it to be worth something to her.

Is there any way to convince her to keep it in the spirit it is given?
