what to buy my postie!!

PROUDMUMMYTOTHREE

hi my postie has worked none stop this winter delivering all my glitch parcels and every other bargain ive seen on here also when we have had the bad weather he still managed to get my post & parcels to me even though we live up a hill i would really like to get him a little present to say thankyou

but what is the question as he will still need to carry on his round so will have to carry it around with him

sorry if this is in the wrong place

A gift voucher seems the perfect solution to me.

I always get our postie a bottle of wine, though haven't seen him for a few weeks - must be poorly.

what about a nice hat/scarf/gloves?you can pick up nice sets quite reasonably

I agree. Maybe with a note along the lines of 'have a drink on me, but choose your bottle another day so you don't have to carry it home'

Having said that, my postie brings several bags of letters in the car and walks each bag round individually. In these circumstances popping the pressie in the car would be easy enough

I give my postie a pot of gold for christmas and it's always well recieved. Here's a link of how to put it together. I put it in a little gold favour bag which i bought from a wedding shop on ebay.

Gave mine a card and £5 cheque today (not been out to get cash) - whatever it is its the thought that counts.

I would get my postie an alarm clock and road map, plus remind him that my post should be daily.....this is not the case even before the snow.

My husbands a postie, there an old lady who used to knit him fingerless gloves that he he loved. Its hard to sort through the mail with normal gloves on, so he tells me lol.

Are they allowed to accept gifts?

They are allowed to receive gifts, and unless things have changed they are taxed asthough they have received tips (unless they can prove they have not).
