What is an appropriate holiday gift for a UPS guy?

I get a ton of stuff delivered weekly, for my business and personal stuff as well. I feel bad because the dog is out alot when he comes and our yard is kind of a mess. What kind of gifts are they allowed to accept?

We don't get that much stuff, but we do get a fair amount of items delivered. Our UPS guy is great..he will leave the pkgs 'hidden' by the back door if we're not home and is just a very nice guy. We usually give him at least $20.

We give our UPS guy cash every holiday. I just found out yesterday the amount he gets every year is $200. But he always leaves big boxes next to our cars or will sometimes come up and get the keys to put them in our cars. And he takes out the trash for us, LOL!

Re: What is an appropriate holiday gift for a UPS guy?

last year i gave our guy a box of chocolates I made with hot cocoas. I swear, i dont recall if i put $$ in there or not.

but I think $10-$20 is fine to give if they go above and beyond for you. or something edible as well.

I gave him $20, but also tipped him at different times of the year when we got a lot of packages. I would give him $50 or so if it's the first time and he goes the extra mile.
