How much do you tip your mailman for Christmas? For a nice, familiar, neighborhoody one who would pick it up in your box.

What can I do next?

I do exactly what Robin does - bake something and give him a card with $20, thanking him for his service.

Although, now I am wondering if he'd prefer to bring mail to Riley's house instead of ours.

Anything you give him/her would be greatly appreciated I'm sure. Wish I had extra funds this year to do something like that. My dad gives the trash guys nice warm work gloves and tiny bottles of whiskey. My parents' house is the only one on the whole block that the trash guys will bring the cans all the way from the street to the house after emptying them, lol!

We're giving some chocolate bars this year.... In past years we have given candy, cookies and even gift cards. Never received a thank you once.
