Newspaper deliverer $10-$30, or the equivalent of one month's membership fee When you pay your bill, you can sometimes include a gratuity. Remember that this is mainly done by grownups these days. Kids might get a popcorn machine or something similar for Christmas. The amount that you give them depends on how you feel about them delivering your paper every day at dawn while it's still dark out. If you don't want to give anything, that's okay too. It's not like they're going to break down in tears if you don't give them anything. If you do want to give them something, there are several options available. You could give them some cash (try to give them at least $20), or you could give them some gift cards so they can buy themselves something nice. Finally, you could give them something useful instead - maybe call them first to make sure they're still able to come to your house before they head out into the cold. It's up to you what you give them but I would recommend giving them at least $20 because that's enough to cover their gas money and a couple of cups of coffee. Here are some other suggestions: fruit, candy bars, hot chocolate, soup, etc. The list goes on and on!
