Today is a very special\u00a0day\u2026 it\u2019s\u00a0Thank a Mailman Day!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Today is the day to give a\u00a0BIG thank you to your\u00a0Mail Carrier who brings super sweet deals to your mailbox and doorstep six days a week! And with all of the freebies and samples we score every day\u2026 well, most of us keep our Mail Carriers super busy :).<\/p>\n

Here are some ideas on how to show your Mail Carrier you appreciate their service:<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Put together a gift bag of some of the recent freebies you\u2019ve scored. For example, sample sized products from\u00a0Bath & Body Works<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or non-holiday packaged treats you scored from various Christmas Clearance deals would make for a great inexpensive, yet still thoughtful thank-you gift.<\/p>\n

* A pair of gloves or a package of\u00a0hand or foot warmers would be a great way to warm up your mail carrier\u2019s day. These are usually inexpensive and can be found at any sporting goods store or online\u2026I\u2019ve posted many glove deals previously as well.<\/p>\n

* Have your kiddos make a card or draw a picture for your Mail Carrier.<\/p>\n

* No matter what, a\u00a0big smile and a thank you is always appreciated by anyone!\u00a0\":D\"<\/p>\n

Here are a few comments Hip2Save Readers left when I posted this last year\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

My dad\u2019s a mailman, and I can tell you that (if he speaks for all mail carriers) they appreciate even the slightest thoughtful gift\/card\/note. He brings home gifts from his customers, usually they\u2019re things they\u2019ve baked for him (no kidding, he\u2019s brought home pies, cakes, homemade candies and more!), but even if it\u2019s just a \u2018thank you\u2019 note, he is always grateful to be appreciated.\u00a0\":)\"<\/em><\/p>\n

As a rural mail carrier, I can tell you it is very nice to be remembered. I feel like all 385 families on my route are a part of my family. I have done this for 22 years and I seen many of kiddos grow up and now are parents themselves. It is nice to know that sometimes they think of me too. Sometimes I bring good news and other times not, but I always try to do it with a smile!<\/em><\/p>\n

With all that in mind, how are YOU going to thank your Mail Carrier?\u00a0Will you make them a snack or give them a smile and a wave? Let\u00a0me know\u00a0what you will be doing to show your\u00a0appreciation below.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
