Your boss- no need to give your boss a gift. It's best to start a office pool and get a gift from the staff.

Babysitter- one  nights pay in cash or a gift card.

Mail carrier- Government regulations do not allow U.S. Postal Service workers to receive cash gifts. A non-monetary gift under $20 is appropriate. FedEx drivers can receive tips and gifts, but they should not exceed $75. UPS prefers its drivers to receive gifts, rather than cash, but leaves it to the customer's discretion.

Newspaper person- $10-$30

Dog groomer or walker- cash gift to one day or one weeks pay in cash or gift card.

School bus driver or city bus driver- A $10-$20 gift card. If cash gifts are not allowed under the company policy, a nice gift is a pair of driving gloves.

Hair stylist- A cash gift equal to one visit.

Then there are those that you shouldn't tip according to the USA Today, and they include doctors, dentists, accountants or anyone who is a salaried employee. It would be appropriate to give them a small gift during the holidays, like a tin of cookies.
