Christmas is a great time of year to remember those people who serve you regularly. Since it only occurs once a year, holiday tipping can be a source of holiday stress, but it need not be so. I recommend a gift or a tasteful Christmas card with a tip inside. Delivery should occur in the month of December prior to Christmas day.- Maid - one week's pay. If you use a service and never know who is coming out, don't tip at all.
- Mail carrier - $10-20. This is for mail carriers that are on foot, not ones in a car. Rather than money, candy or some type of treat. Also, if you get snow, make a path so the mail carrier can cut across your yard.
- Apartment building superintendent - $20-100
- Doorman/concierge - $50-100 or more, depending upon building
- Manicurist/pedicurist - $15 or more
- Hairdresser/stylist - $15 or more
- Newspaper carrier - Daily - $25 - 50, weekend - $10
- Baby sitter - two-to-three night's pay, plus maybe a gift
- Full-time nanny - one week's pay
- Day care service - $25-70 plus a gift
- Parking attendants - $10-20 each
- Personal trainer - $60-100 upon reaching goal.
- Teacher - $25-100. Give a gift certificate to a bookstore or office supply store.
- Country Club -$50 for your waiters, locker-room personnel, front-desk employees, and golf professionals. For head waiters or special service, make it $100.

How much do you tip your nut/bolt guy?
i dont mind giving the mailman money, but i think its crap that i should shovel a path through my yard. thats why i shovel and salt my sidewalk, before and after work - and thats what sidewalks are there for!! if the lazy bastard wants to walk through 1' or more of snow to save himself 5 seconds, then let his feet get wet or let him slip...but i will not shovel a path through my yard!
Is there a site that shows what that list of people are supposed to, in turn, get me?
Rudi, your pretty tuff on the help..
Dave, I thought $20 on the night stand was plenty. Jon never seemed to complain.
Rates have gone up - it's now $25.
