Mail carrier + Holidays

(1/3) > >>

Bea:
Hi Guys,
Tis the season and since I recently moved and have a wonderful mail man for the first time in, well, ever, I'd like to give him something for the holidays.  I read that cash/ gifts in excess of $20 are illegal.  I'm wondering if there are any other rules I should know (does it vary by area? I am in the US, btw) and if anyone has any bright ideas.  I am thinking a gift certificate to a chain coffeeshop in town for $5.00, but also do not want to look cheap. Thoughts appreciated!

Chocolate Cake:
I always make a tin of frosted cookies for our mail carrier.   He gets a big grin on his face when he pulls it out of the mailbox and sees his name on it.

Bea:
I was thinking of baking something, but am wondering if that would annoy him because it would give him something extra to carry on his route.  I know that sounds really silly, and that is a good idea that I'd like to do.  I just wasn't sure if it was accepted or not.

Chocolate Cake:
I think my carrier likes the cookies because it gives him something to snack on on his route.   

Bea:
good point. =)
Maybe today i'll watch where he parks his truck- if it's on this block, then I think I will bake something so he can just put it back in his truck if he wants to.
