We’ve had the same cleaners for over a year. I pay them £50 every other week and last year for Christmas I got them what I think was a thoughtful gift. They’re pretty funny so I got a giant bottle of Baileys, nice candle that said ‘F* Off I’m Cleaning’, and a big box of chocolates with a card. There are quite a few of them on the team and I think just a cash bonus is probably better but I love giving gifts. What would you do? How much if you say just a bonus?

If you can do 100 each for the three if they are three but you can’t give them a 20 dollar tip like the minimum has to be at least 50 in the holidays they really need it for their families and kiddos. My mom was a cleaner and those extra really made a difference in what was served and what was gifted

So in the US a normal christmas bonus for household employees is one weeks wages. Not sure what it is across the pond tho

WINE and money... Im not where near experienced enough to day how much though.

i would give them cash and make a little bag of goodies like what u give kids.. inside you can put chocolates, hot chocolate/instant coffee pouch, lip balm, hair tie, hydration packets, anything really. You can get all this stuff at dollar store for cheap too

Personally I’d give £10-20 tip each in the UK. Depends how many people come, my cleaner id give her £20.
As someone who works in beauty most I have ever gotten from a client is £20 x

Y'all... are these prices of 20* supposed to be END YEAR BONUSES OR GIFTS for an employee who's worked well for you all year ?????? Or I am the one not understanding these numbers lol. Because whattttt and whyyyyy. Surely they deserve more

Tbh I feelike it's so little but idk 🤷🏾♀️ if I got 20* as a gift or money from my employer I'd be like 👀🙄🤷🏾♀️ 😬 but I also don't have employees so I am being extra perhaps. If I did I would open an account specifically for such occasions where I can put aside a little extra just for them then after 12 months I can have a little more to give. It's great that you are thinking of them. Regardless the amount it's a great thought. And whatever you decide they'll definitely appreciate.

And sorry .. you meant you pay 50 but for the last clean of the year you paid 100 extra ?? Lol 😂 ok I get it now. That's totally fine tbh. They'll appreciate it.

Thank you. I am big on separation of funds for literally everything.

Nooooo omg
Ok I get now why I was sooooo confused lol 😂 I read it and immediately thought you were their "employer or business owner" so sorry 😌 my answer was in an business owner / employer's pov ..not that they were just your regular cleaners that came every month to your house lol. Well in that case the original amount and thought is totally fine. Because they'll probably get more from other satisfied customers like you. I just imagined after working so hard for their employer all year they just got that as a bonus.

I give them two weeks worth of pay and some good wine

Whatever you can afford but cash is good idea. Since living expenses is high and that cash can help them

Cash or a gift card to different food places

I’d just be buying them a box of chocolates each.
I used to be a carer and it was my favourite gift to get at Xmas
