do you tip or get a xmas present for ...

[nappyaddict]

the binmen
the lollipop person (if you walk to school and use one)
the window cleaner
the cleaner
the gardener

I do a christmas box as my mum would say for the following:

• binmen - lots of beer as they're fab
• don't use lollipop person
• don't have a window cleaner
• cleaner - gets wine and home made shortbread
• hairdresser - bottle of champagne
• postman - bottle of wine
• newspaper man - bottle of wine
• teachers - wine and home made shortbread

milkman always gets a big tip off me lol

I'll send something for the teacher this year, postman because he is bloody gorgeous and might give the binmen something too, I hadn't thought of that before. How do you dispense beer if you don't know what time they're coming?
Could I give them something else?

ooh just thought of a couple more

milkman
paperboy

don't think i'm going to bother with the binmen. i don't think i've ever spoken to them.

binmen - yes
I do not have any of the rest! No milkman, paperbuy, cleaning, gardening, lollipopping or window cleaning
I do tip/buy for: postman,
hairdresser
my direct reports at work
dd's teachers

I might give the dentist something, he's become a good friend and is lovely. I never know what though. Doesn't seem the drinking type. I might ask the receptiopnists what he likes for a tipple

the binmen no chance. They are rude and leave a mess.
the lollipop person (if you walk to school and use one) thinking about it.
the window cleaner don't have one.
the cleaner - don't have one.
the gardener - don't have one.

I've never tipped before, but think I will give something to the milkman and postman this year.

the binmen - no; never see them
the lollipop person - n/a
the window cleaner - yes
the cleaner - n/a
the gardener - n/a
