s/o Gifts

Who do you give gifts to that are not family/friends, like the babysitter, mailman, hairdresser, paperboy..etc.  How much or what do you give?

Re: s/o Gifts

  • Co-workers:  Small gifts for the ladies, big plate of goodies for everyone to share.

    Mailman/Paperpeople:  Sometimes a little treat or a small (<$10) GC

    Nail tech:  Extra tip (~$10-15)

    Vet:  Plate of goodies. Maybe more this year since they've seen so much of us, haha.

    Causes that are important to me: Planned Pethood Graham's Foundation NOCC
  • We give our in-home sitter $50 GC to Kroger.  No body else gets anything since I don't see them regularly enough. 

    Work is just a carry-in usually from all of us.

  • I used to get my garbage men a case of beer.  Would run it out to them with a big bow when they came the week before X-mas.  But since they don't actually do the manual labor anymore...I stopped.

  • Coworkers: homemade goodies in a tin

    That's it...  I guess I'm a scrooge.

    That is awesome! haha. I left them a cooler with beer in it and a thank you note when they wouldn't take the wood/tree pile I had out there the prior week. Needless to say, when I got home, the wood/trees were gone and the cooler was on my porch ;-)
  • I only ask because this is the first time we have a babysitter at Christmas and an awesome mail lady who plays with the dogs and delivers our mail to us even if the old address is on it. I'll give cookies to a couple of our neighbors. ;-)
