What do you give as Christmas gifts…

… to people who consult, like your doctors, accountant, guy who mows the lawns etc?

I swear those boxes of Lindt ball truffles do the rounds. I give cider, wine, honey or dried herb salt from the vineyards near my home town, depending on their tastes and status as drinkers.

I also give a box of fancy cookies to people who work at reception for them to snack on at morning tea. Those are the most giddily received, TBH.

I used to give boxes of Godiva but lost that habit. I don’t know what I’m going to do this year, actually but I like your ideas. For my house helpers (gardener, housekeeper), I give money plus a small gift.

I love Lindt but those truffles are not fancy enough for a gift. You can buy better individually wrapped Lindt chocolate at their official stores or online.

How quaint you all are.

I have no idea. The Majordomo takes care of all that.

The only one I insist on doing is the pool boy. And since it's a new one every year, he has to prove he's earned the maximum cash bonus.

My parents used to get so many boxes of Lindt balls. They necessarily regifted them.

One thing is for sure - don’t give any homemade food. Unless your dentist has known you for a decade and is positive you aren’t a lunatic, that stuff goes straight into the bin for health and safety reasons.

I like to give chlamydia.

Yes indeed, we too use "cookies." Take a look at our privacy/terms or if you just want to see the damn site without all this bureaucratic nonsense, click ACCEPT. Otherwise, you'll just have to find some other site for your pointless bitchery needs.
