Give a little to those who give a lot.  Here’s a guide on how much to tip around the holiday’s, according to the Etiquette School of Chicago.

Hair Stylist: An amount equal to the cost of one visit. But this is one of the few service providers you tip regularly, so take that into consideration.

Baby Sitter: A gift worth as much as what you pay for one night out, or possibly more depending on how often you use the sitter.

Mail Carrier: Legally, your postman cannot accept a cash tip, but they can accept gifts under $20, Easter said. She suggested some gloves or a hat to stay warm during the winter months.

Nanny: A week’s pay if they are there every day or live with the family, Easter said.

Dog Walker: A gift equal to one service.

Personal trainer: A gift equal to the cost of one session.

Child’s teacher: Check the rules of the school. Teachers get a lot of junk during the holidays. A gift card in an amount the kid could reasonably afford is enough, Easter said.

Building Superintendent: $50-100

Handyman: A gift equal to the cost of an average house call.
