We have a "mailman" Christmas card I got at Target, but what kind of gift do I get him?

Bake some cookies and put them by the mailbox with the card?
Mail carriers are not allowed to accept cash gifts, so to get around this, and to personalize your gift, consider giving gift certificates or gift cards instead. Certificates for fast food restaurants, movie tickets, grocery stores, department stores, and malls are universally appreciated.
About the Victorias Secret thing... only my boyfriend gets to see that :-) And I got him something special for Christmas... clues: it's red and has fluffy stuff on it.

Your mailman is not legally allowed to accept cash, nor gifts valued over $20. Some mail carriers like homemade food items, others do not. A gift card to a restaurant or store is nice. That way they can get what they like. Aren't you nice!

Good question... I was wondering the same thing. I gave our mailman 30.00 in Outback gift cards. Judging from the other responses seems about right.

If the mailman is really "special" to you.....you could meet him at the door wearing nothing but something sexy from Victoria's Secret.

I agree with Princess P, great idea. If you know him personally, his likes/dislikes, a small gift of one of his hobbies or such.
