Need an appropriate gift for our mail carrier! Your suggestions, please. |
|
I don't know what to get him, since I don't know him. I think that money is not appropriate. I don't bake but I could buy him some nice cookies. Or candy.
What are you giving yours?

5. Nothing. Have no personal relationship with ours so nothing. Gloves are good though |
|
If I were to give such a person a gift, a pair of gloves would be good.

6. I have a very crappy mailman... |
|
and he won't even say hello to you when you speak to him, so nada, but I would give a gift certificate of some sort, maybe to a grocery store?

7. As an ex-mail carrier...booze is always popular. |
|
I'm an ex-drinker so I could always swap mine to other carriers for I liked. Cookies or candy are good because the carriers *usually* share them.

The fancy, eat-on-Christmas-Eve kind. Next year we may go the gift card route.
