Treat the Package Delivery People in Your Life

Create a treat basket for the delivery workers this holiday season

By Leah Spencer December 6, 2022

Recently our one of the UPS drivers who frequents our neighborhood told us that we were his best customers. Err, this isn't necessarily what our bank account wants to hear, but I know full well that delivery workers visit our home quite often. So, every holiday season, I try to say thank you to all the individuals working extra hard to deliver the presents. Not Santa, but his helpers who wear uniforms and drive delivery trucks for UPS, Amazon, and FedEX.


Beginning of the day

We put together a treat basket and set it out on our porch to say thanks. I fill it with a good assortment of salty and sweet options and a few drinks, too. I post a sign (see the end of the article to get a free printable for yourself) to let all the delivery workers know that we appreciate their hard work. 


End of the day!

By the end of the first day putting it out, it was nearly all gone! I'd like to believe it's because the delivery drivers were hungry and not that we had too many packages dropped at our door...but, let's just say it's a combination of the two.
