Contractor birthday, got him a gift!

[Account Closed]

So I went with my realtor a couple months back to check out a house in Lakeland. While I was walking the property I offered we call the contractor I work with to come check out the property and give us a rough estimate. I met him earlier that day so I thought it would be a good idea to check if he's still around the area. After we took a walk in the property, the contractor was heading off but before he did the realtor asked him for a business card. The guy goes into his car and starts looking for a business card - couldn't find one, I told the realtor "no worries, I'll send you his contact info" and that was it.

Recently he told me he has his birthday this week. So a couple weeks back I custom made him some business cards. I haven't had a chance to give it to him this week yet but he'll probably get it next week when I go check out a project he's working on for me.

What do you guys think ? This guy worked on about 4 houses for me, he does a good job and seemingly he's pretty fair with the pricing. I think it's a good idea because these gestures build better relationships. What do you guys think ?
