What I would do is set a budget for how much you want to spend. After setting that budget divide it by three (on third for each person). I am not sure in what type of setting you live in (IE. rural, urban, suburban) but what I always do is I go to places like Marshalls, Stein Mart and TJ Max. In this season they typically sell hot cocoa sets with coffee mugs or other seasonal items at very inexpensive prices however the quality is extremely high and all the food is fresh. I did my shopping for some of the people I know from a place like that last year and I bought something for $6.00 and I saw it one day later in another store for $11.00. If that does not work I would go out to a grocery store and buy three Christmas cookie tins and a platter of Christmas cookies and divide the cookies up between the three. Of course a card is something that they would probably appreciate too!
I hope this helps and sorry for such a long answer,
Sara
Merry Christmas and have a wonderful break!

You are very thoughtful to think of the cleaners and the postman.
I suggest gift cards. I suggest restaurants or movies. This way they can go out with families and enjoy the meal or movie on you!
Happy Holidays!

Warm gloves and hat for your postal worker, box of Christmas cookies and candies for all. MP3 players are nice and inexpensive for the cleaners. Cards and gift certificates are always nice too. Go to a hobby shop and get your special award trophies for them. Help make their jobs easier like gathering the trash for the cleaners, shovling the sidewalk for the postal person. Simple things say you care. Merry Christmas

Gift certificate for a spa?
beauty boutique?
The mall so they can choose their favourite store if you don't know,
make a charity donation in their name

Grocery store gift certificates? You can pick an exact amount and they will appreciate it.
