I might be a scourge but I onl get DS daycare teachers soemthing.
If I happen to get my hair done and am in the salon around the holidays I will up her tip.
But to me the mailman and garbage guys are doing their job. I don;t get a gift just because I do my job.

I don't get for all of the people on your list (I don't give to my boss, pediatrician staff or UPS people since I never see them) but, I do give monetary gifts also to the garbage men and paper guy.

Re: Christmas Gifts- ?
Just give to teachers, the bus driver and assistant on the bus.
If I have my hair done around the holidays, which I usually do, I give a bigger tip.
Don't get my nails done often enough, but when I did I would bring cookies or box of chocolates and tip my usual girl more.
I never see the garbage man, but they don't even get out of the truck. They have that big arm looking thing that picks up the trash and dumps it in the truck.
I do see the mailman so considering getting him a little something. He's really nice. Where we live the mailboxes are at the end of the driveway so they are in their trucks. I know they all work hard, but they are also doing their job. I just have more a relationship with the mailman since I see him often bc he comes around the time I'm waiting for DS to get off the bus.

I just do the mailman and garbage men. I don't feel that even that's a necessity but both regularly go above and beyond for us so I'm happy to do it.
I rarely get my hair or nails done, don't love our UPS guy, don't have a paper boy, and DD doesn't go to school or day care. When I worked, we usually did a collection for the secretaries and our boss. I hadn't thought of the ped's staff but thankfully we're not in there often so I'll skip that too.

None of the above. If DD was here and she was in daycare, I'd get her teacher(s) a gift but that's about it.

Re: Christmas Gifts- ?
I usually just do teacher, garbage men, and mail carrier. This year I am not getting the mail carrier because ours left and we havent had the same one since. Garbage men deserve it in my opinion with all the garbage we have. Hair dresser I only give a big tip if I am there close to christmas.
