Leicester_H Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hi Our regular post man is EXCELLENT and so helpful - I'd like to give him a small/token Christmas gift but can't think what - any ideas ? Can't be too bulky or heavy (since he'll be on his round - although I think is van is just a few streets away usually) H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I normally give my package man (who haules around 30 kg of kitty litter) a card with a few euro's. Otherwise I would suggest a box of chocolate or luxury chocolate bar (nice and flat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Little packet of home made biscuits? Even though I'm at home most days I rarely meet my postman. Don't think mine will be getting anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ours is fab. I always give him a tenner, and he is always grateful. I tip the paperboy and the milkman too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Our postie is lovely too. I may just wrap myself up for him! We usually give him money too. He's only just moved in a few houses away so I think he would put it to good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 You nutter! I've never seen my postie, but i am on first name terms with the guys at the sorting office. I know that feeling I also have garden slackers, although thankfully a couple of my Silkies are doing their usual trick of laying an egg or two a week in December! I have had to buy eggs though, but thankfully I have 2 friends with young hybrids that I can buy from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 We have a frightened rabbit of a post lady, she scuttles around and hates it if she has to talk. I frightened the life out of her one morning when I was in the front garden and said hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursula123 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I frightened our postman one morning back in the summer, he had a habit of knocking on the leaded glass panel in the front door which is quite fragile, on this particular day I opened the door and said " don't knock on the glass use foxy knocker" and slammed the door - he's not knocked on the glass since!

Valkyrie Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Was all set to give our lad his card and pressie and blow me down - DD grabbed it and raced out before he even got out of our neighbours garden!! Hmmph!!! He has a lot of fans in this close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Must be young n good looking for you all to be so keen to run after him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yes, quite young. Not too bad to look at but nothing special but he's such a nice, happy, pleasant guy. OH gave their postie his present and apparently he burst into tears! I said were you being a miser then? Apparently he's quite an older postie but pleasant and chatty. So I said in that case - too much!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
