It's almost time! This year will be our 7th annual year setting out some #gratitude snacks for our many delivery drivers - both regular and seasonal - for the holiday season. I'm starting to gather my supplies, I usually put it out on Black Friday and keep it up through the new year.
Here's last year's starting bin.
@singlemaltgirl Of course! I usually get a box of assorted mostly-not-junk-food snacks from (from amazon... shame, I know) so it's things like crackers, cheese puffs, granola bars, fruit bars, pretzels, fruit leather, that kind of thing. I also use up the remains of our halloween candy stash. And then H20, and juice pouches/boxes. I try to have something for everyone - sweet, salty, healthy, not... :)
@jenneviere nice! i think i'm going to do something similar. it seems like such a lovely idea :) thanks for the inspiration. 😍
@singlemaltgirl Love it!! It's such a low-level lift for high reward.
@singlemaltgirl And I rotate through things, too - I refill when things get low, and put out new options.
People LOVE it. I get folks who would normally just drop deliveries on the porch who ring the bell and wait just to say thank you.
Apparently the UPS drivers all request our route during this time, too!
You’ve inspired me!
I always give usps, our garbage & recycling guys treats at the holidays.
I need to expand that!
Suggestions?
@MrsDanaD I think it depends on your climate, but I like to put out some candy (I use up our halloween leftovers), and some things like hot cocoa or cider packets, figuring that they may not have hot water with them but they likely have some back at their office. Fizzy vitamin C packets (to put in water bottles) work well, too.
@MrsDanaD Ooh, and jerky tends to be a hit around here.
Fab!
I appreciate you taking time to list these!
I definitely have halloween candy left; was going to use for stocking stuffers but this is better.
Vitamin C : freaking awesome idea!
I screenshot this so I have list at the store 😉 because I’m old & won’t remember
It’s true that giving is far better than receiving.
✌🏼❤️
@jenneviere that is so awesome of you. can i ask what you put in there. looks like water bottles & cheezits but i can't see what else (or they're not super familiar to me).
