Quick questions

Quick holiday-related questions: Who do you tip?

Housekeeper? Newpaper delivery person or postman? Apartment manager? Hair stylist or personal trainer? Day care provider?

And if you give money, how much? If not money, then what?

Comments

This year, I will tip my son's bus driver ($30 gift card - it's more than I usually spend but he is great) and the housekeepers ($40 each). I also contributed to the class fund at my son's school for teacher gifts ($10 each for classroom teacher and assistant). If I get a haircut during the holidays, I will give the stylist an extra $20 or so. Nothing extra for the lawn service, since they got my money all year in spite of no grass to cut. I never know how to leave something for the paper or mail delivery people but would love to hear how others do it.
