Do you get your postman something little for the holidays?

Never thought to, but what a wonderful idea! I'd have to think of something for his vehicle, maybe a nice air freshener?

I do give a $5 Gift cert. form a local Rest. But if she keep's being so dam fussy she not getting anything I know $5 if not much. But it lets her I am thinking of her.

Ive never given the postman anything...my dad does...he usually gives them candy in a cool container...he also gives the trashman something...I was reading an article on this and it said that you should buy them something worth $20 or less and for a teacher $100 or less and for a nanny or baby sitter a weeks worth of pay! I think it's all fair!

My husband and I just talked about this the other day, and we're thinking about doing something for ours. I think our postman is actually a contract employee and not a federal employee, so he may not be paid as well.

My letter carrier is a good friend of mine. We have known each other since high school. When I moved to my current address I was delighted to find she was our letter carrier. I hadn't seen her in years. I am going to make her a little something in appreciation for her services. I can't imagine driving the back roads in crappy weather conditions to deliver the mail every day.

No. The postman doesn't get a thing. The waste collection guys and the milk delivery guys generally get a box of lovely chocie sweeties though.

It has never even occurred to me to do such a thing, but now I am feeling a little guilty about the fact. I receive mail regularly and the postman is there whether it is a pleasant day or raining torrentially. All I have to do now is decide what would be appropriate.

No I do not usually get my postman anything since I never see them and there is no safe place to leave something for them. My mailbox is up the road. It would be nice to get them somethng though as well as our trash collectors. I am sure they would appreciate it.

My postman is really very clever and active. He always takes few rupees {rupee is currency of my country as us $s r currency of usa} for each and every post which he gives us. He takes atleast $2 on special occasions from us and from others too.

No, I never have. I really should since I make them lug like 30 boxes a day. A lot of times we have different carriers though, and some of them I don't care for.

my post man never gave me anything but bad news all year dont think it merits a present

Yes,I do, and i think it's anice idea because these people are out in all kinds of weather to get our mail to us.My carrier is an older woman and she even delivers our packages to us so we don't have to go pick them up at the post office.So,a nice card,I usually give a small box of choccolates,or a gift card should suffice.It really is the thought that counts.Merry Christmas!

definitely every body have to offer some thing to look after lower cadre people those were in the service. If we go to hotel , we will give tips to the hotel servants who serve us. similarly in the case of postmans also during dussara or diwali or sankranthi, or christmas, we have to give some tip money to them, to take care of the all postal communication from them uninterruptedly to the rest of the year.

The post office I go to is really great. I usually give the clerks there something. I'm not sure what I'll do this year.

At one point in time my parents did. That was because our mailman lived across the street from us. Since he moved and quit that route my dad hasn't given anything to the mailman. I won't be getting anything for our mailman either because, I'm sorry to say, he is a moron. We never get our mail delivered correctly. Half the time it goes to the store front down stairs or to the people in the house behind us. We get mail for everyone in the complex (2 apartments, 2 businesses and 2 houses). I'm not even sure if we have a regular mailman right now.

I don't give the postman a present for the holidays. I do however talk to him often and give him an extra copy of one of the magazines I get every month. When I hand him the extra copy you would think I handed him a million bucks. He carries a boat load of mail for my family and places it inside my screendoor, as it usually won't fit in the mailbox. I appreciate him.

no. our postman is a grouch. I will give the newspaper carrier something though.

Give a box of candy for them

it's very rare that i meet the postman, two or three times in three four months, but i do give him some seasonal presents.

I would get the mailman a gift, but I've never met him or her. I do get something small for the paper carrier. Gift certificates are always a good idea. .. :)
