It's that time of year. Everyone has their hands out, wanting a tip for the holiday. So who do you/should you tip, and an even better question. How much should you tip them? I did a little digging and found the answers for you, but you may not like it....well, unless you're the one getting the tip.
- Baby Sitter – One to two nights’ pay is about right for a babysitter
- Cleaning Person – The cost of one visit is considered fitting
- Dog Walker – Tip your regular dog walker up to a week’s pay.
- Hairstylist – The normal cost of a visit would be a nice tip for a stylist you see regularly.
- Letter Carrier – The U.S. Postal Service forbids mail carriers from accepting cash, and says gifts must be under $20 in value.
- Newspaper Delivery Person – Consider giving $10 to $30, unless you tip regularly throughout the year.
- Nursing Home Worker – A personal gift such as homemade cookies or fudge
- Personal Trainer – $50 or up to the cost of a session
- Your Child’s Teacher – Small gift, accompanied by a note or drawing by your child
- Trash Collectors – Tip each of your trash $10 to $30.
