Mail carrier retirement question

[nolesincebirth]

So my mail carrier is retiring and I'm not sure if a retirement gift is appropriate. I live in a small town, and she walks her route every day and delivers mail to the front door of every house. She is very friendly and I know her by name. I'm thinking I should probably get her a card and $20? I usually give her a gift at Christmas too. Does that seem about right?

I think throwing her a little neighborhood retirement party would be appropriate. Nothing fancy, just a potluck/BYOB type of thing. Some blue and white frosted cupcakes would be nice.

Maybe you could go down on her for 45-60 minutes on her last day?

Both of those suggestions seem like a lot of effort.

And to show your appreciation, do it right after she finishes walking your neighborhood and let her know the smell won't offend you.

Does she not put in the effort for you? Stop being so selfish.

This goes without saying. Make sure it's nice and sweaty before you get to work.
