should I buy my nail salon/hairdressers/DC hairdressers a tin of chocolates for Christmas? ?

[givemethejam]

i/we use these a lot in the year and I tip each time. It would be £5 tin of chocs for each.

Like everyone, I need to budget/plan very carefully for Christmas. I can afford £15 worth of chocs but at the same time this is the cost of a Christmas gift for someone.

I tip generously at each appt in the year.

thoughts ?

Is it instead of tipping extra?
In that case I’d just add the fiver to the usual tip as pp said.

I would if you have appointments in December, yes. But I doubt it's something most people do so don't feel obligated to!
