Holiday Tipping Guide

The holiday season is typically considered a time to offer generous tips to those who have provided excellent service throughout the year.

With Mahalo's holiday tipping guide, you'll be sure to know exactly whom to tip and how much.

Tipping the Mail Carrier

According to the U.S. Postal Service, mail carriers are not allowed to accept cash, gift cards or checks. They can accept small gifts of food or items like travel mugs or gloves—anything less than $20. Larger food gifts, like tins of Christmas cookies or gift baskets must be shared with others working at the same postal branch.Emily Post: Holiday Tipping Guidelines USPS.gov: Holiday 'Tips'
