I live in a one family house and have had the same mailperson for at least the past couple of years. I see him often because he sometimes rings my doorbell if the box or package I receive does not fit in the mailbox/mail slot. Ideas please. I am also on a limited budget, is a $10 gift card ok? or please post other suggestions. TIA

I gave mine a plate of homemade brownies wrapped up with a bow and a nice card thanking him and a $5 bill.

Isn't it illegal to give cash?

This is interesting! I didn't know this. I've been giving my mailman and sanitation workers $10 with a nice thank you card. They had no problem accepting it.

And my mailman has no problem ringing my bell and asking for it. This is a law that's not really kept...
