Through snow and rain . . . . well you know the rest.  The mail carrier (postal worker) makes sure you get your mail on time.  Sometimes they go out of their way to deliver special packages to you..  If you have that special relationship with them, and they go out of their way for you (and all their other people on their route), a small token of appreciation is always a nice way to put a smile on their face.  The gift does not need to be expensive (you pay them enough), but just the fact that you bring a gift is sometimes more than enough to brighten up their day.  It is fairly commonplace to give a gift or money to the mail carrier at the end of the year around the holidays.

Gift Ideas to Say Thank You to a Mail Carrier (Postal Worker, Postman):

• Gift Basket (of fruit or sweets)

• Food (delivered or home made)

• Related statuette

• Magazine subscription (for themselves - then they can put it in the waiting room afterwards)

• A book they may enjoy reading (if you know their taste)

• Bottle of wine

• Cash (although a gift of little thought, it is always appreciated)
