This guide can help get you started.
Your Mail Provider
If your U.S.
Choose something appropriate for your mail carrier that can easily fit into a gift bag.
“And remember to include a card with thanks!”
The maintenance workers in your office building are important to remember, too.
Trash collectors or janitors who you interact with frequently receive gifts between $10 to $20.
Also on the list: an office employee or doorman at your residence.
Before tipping, check with your HOA to see if a holiday gift is already budgeted for.
Pet Caregiver or Dog Walker
Pets are members of the family, too.
If your weekly dog walker is especially good with your excitable fur-baby, consider giving additional Christmas cheer.
A gift in the range of $20 to $50 is appropriate for above-and-beyond pet care.
Instead, consider sending the family holiday card or a personalized note of gratitude.
Quite often, seeing your family happy and appreciative is more than enough Christmas thanks for family health providers.
Sendhandmade Christmas cardswith personalized notes, makeholiday food gifts, orgive small DIY presents.
No matter what you choose, people will appreciate that you thought of them during the holiday season.
