To ask who you tip at Christmas and how much?

Inspired by another thread.

Postie?
Hairdresser?
Cleaner?
Window cleaner?
Gardener?

Anyone else? Do you tip people who are in any way friends even if you pay them for a service? Do you give gifts rather than money?

My cleaner gets the equivalent of an extra session in cash. I don't tend to tip my hairdresser through the year, but will tip £25 at Christmas. I also get the dog walker a present - usually chocs and booze

None. I don’t have any of those, except a postie.

No one. This isn't America. I would be insulted if someone tried to tip me for my service in doing my job.

I don't tip anyone for Christmas. I top my hairdresser when I go but never get my hair cut near Christmas

It's exactly the same as the other thread...

Nobody!

I tip newspaper man, cleaners - I give a decent gift, we buy the bin men a box of chocs, I gave the nail techs some cash to buy lunch last week (I don’t usually tip).
