How to choose for a mail carrier
- Think about their workday: outdoor routes suggest warm socks, while hairdressers may appreciate hand cream after frequent washing.
- Choose compact items that fit easily in a mailbox, a work bag or a salon drawer.
- Pick lightly scented, gender-neutral lotions and moisturizers when their preferences are unknown.
- Consider compression socks for someone who stands or walks all day and values comfort over style.
Usually safe to skip
- Bulky or fragile gifts, which are awkward to carry on a route or between appointments.
- Strongly scented products, since fragrance may bother clients or linger on the job.
- Home-baked goods left in a mailbox, which can be hard to accept or store.
