Re: Do you tip your mailman? If so, how much?

I was just discussing this with DH tonight. I don't want to sound like a scrooge or anything, but if he gets $20 from every house, he makes a small fortune!! Neither DH nor I get bonuses or tips at Christmas.

We're giving him a $10 Dunkin Donuts card.

We were thinking about tipping ours. I like the gift-card idea.

Being a Federal employee, he/she is not allowed to accept any gift over $20 and is not allowed to accept any money. If he/she does and gets caught, they can be fired immediately.

Like emilain, he has to walk up a long driveway and we get packages delivered quite often. Plus he goes out of his way to help me when he sees me in the post office.

Re: Do you tip your mailman? If so, how much?

We haven't but we're not in NY anymore so no one out here tips anyone for the holidays but I decided to because we have a really nice mail lady. They don't have to come to our house though. We live in a development with community mailboxes.
Anyway I got $15 to starbucks and made a tin of cookies to give to her. Same that our milkman got.
