This time of year we have to tip everybody a little bit better. Consider it an end of year bonus. Here’s a good guide to go by when tipping this holiday season:

• 47% plan to tip their housekeepers at an average of $50
• 41% will be tipping their babysitter or daycare provider about $50
• 41% of us will tip our children’s teachers about $25 in the form of a small gift
• 36% tip their landscaper or gardener about $30
• 27% will give their mail carrier around $20
• 19% plan to tip their trash or recycling collector about $20

It’s also consensus that we double tip our hairstylist waiter bartender etc.
