## FAQ

### Do I have to tip during the holidays even if I don’t know the person well?

While tipping during the holidays is a common practice to show gratitude, it ultimately depends on your relationship with the individual. If you don’t feel comfortable tipping someone who has not gone above and beyond in their service, you are not obligated to do so.

### Are there any regulations regarding tipping mail carriers?

Yes, the USPS has specific regulations on what gifts mail carriers can accept. Typically, small tokens like snacks, candy, or items less than $20 are acceptable.

### Should I tip delivery drivers from other services like UPS, FedEx, and Amazon?

It is always a nice gesture to show appreciation to all delivery drivers, especially during the busy holiday season. If possible, consider tipping them through the delivery app or leaving out a small gift or treats for them.

## Conclusion

Holiday tipping can be a thoughtful way to show appreciation for those who provide services throughout the year. While it is not mandatory, it can go a long way in acknowledging the hard work and dedication of individuals like babysitters, cleaning persons, and teachers. Remember to consider your relationship with the person and their level of service before deciding to tip.
