Just bumping this down.

I've been inspected an average of twice a year for almost two decades. Your state Department of Agriculture should have sent you some sort of informational packet of what an inspector would be looking for. In our state, of course they check for pests or diseases. That doesn't mean you are going to get shut down if they find them, but it can mean you will have to dispose of, or treat the material in question. They may also occasionally take samples of material to submit to the state lab if they aren't sure what is causing abnormal looking presentation. They did that once with some mums on bench when a foliar mite was suspected. They may tell you to take care of a problem and then come back to check to see that you have. As mentioned before there are some pest, especially those on quarantine status in your county that, if they find, more severe measures may need to be taken. I know my inspectors were also on the lookout for new pests being shipped in from locales where liners might be sent from. Make sure your nursery is sufficiently neat that the inspector doesn't have to fight weeds to see the plants. One of my inspectors had a big issue with field grown stock hidden by weeds in some operations. Our state requires that ALL nursery stock be labeled. Even if it's just growing on. They accept either botanical or common names, and the tags don't have to be fancy. Stock in sales areas must also have pricing on it somehow/somewhere. They may also look at merchandise up for sale to make sure that they are sufficiently rooted in. If you've bumped some up recently, then it should not be in a sales area. I have found all of my nursery inspectors to be very fair, very helpful and as obliging as they can be within their limitations. Be totally upfront with them, if you have a problem and they'll help you solve it. They have the last word, so to speak, so treat them with respect. My annuals do not need to be inspected, just nursery stock, since I do not ship them across state lines.....but I have been asked if they can walk through my annual houses too. Of course I let them. I suppose this is legitimate in case I have nursery stock hidden in there.

Giftcards have their usefullness. I've heard of inactivity fees, but never experienced it first hand. I give a few giftcards a year. I give them for consumables (coffee shop, restaurant), because I obviously cannot give the teacher 4 cups of coffee for a gift. But I can treat her to 4 cups of coffee at her convenience with a giftcard, if I know she drinks coffee. If not, another place. And you can add my name to Jodi's wishlist. Give me a Barnes & Noble (any bookstore, that's just closest to my house) gift card, and I'll be a very happy girl! When someone gives me one of those, I know they know what I want. Forget the diamonds, books are this girl's best friend- but it's hard to buy a book for someone else, it's best to let them pick it. And I have a B&N discount card, so I will get more than face value of the card, by up to 40%.

OP here - to clarify, the gift was from my DIL & son. I think the masseuse has her regular job at the same facility where DIL works. It's a small town and I don't want to rock the boat with anyone, just felt like I'm being used because her initial text implied she had an opening the following day (because they were calling for snow & she said if the weathers bad then the appointment would move to Saturday), but then when she finally called me back she said her next opening was 4 months down the road. And the bad weather didn't happen so she would not have had to postpone anything. I did put my name on the wait list in case she has any cancellations. We'll see.
