What sort of gifts do you give to your delivery drivers and others like UPS Store and USPS employees? I would like to give them something because it seems like they go out of their way a lot to make sure that I get taken care of and I appreciate it. But I am a terrible at gift giving. Thanks.

I will be giving the same as they gave me last year ..
F**k All.
And anyone thinking of giving a gift to a courier / mail guy .
Make sure they open the package in front of you and sign for it as they will deny all knowledge and certainly will lose it before it goes back to the depot..

I give the mailman about $20 as a gift - my home mailguy. For products and all that, I use po boxes and things come in nicely. I give chocolates or some treat to the counter people of the busiest po box. I like to spread my addresses around when active

The UPS driver came to my door and asked for a gift. He tells me I go home and my back is killing me. You have packages every day that weigh more than 100 pounds.

I told him, I will get him something and thank you happy holidays.

I am still wondering what to get him

Someone else suggested a tin of cookies or an assortment of fudge for the postal employees and the UPS Store employees. I think the tequila might be a good idea for the DHL guy. I'm not sure about the UPS guy.

Cash for the UPS and DHL drivers and fudge for the USPS and UPS store employees. I did not want to give alcohol in case they were not drinkers.

Thanks for the help people.
