On this board we have discussed frequently holiday tipping and tipping in general. I had to post this b/c CNBC came out with their Holiday Tipping Guide for 2012 and here is some tips "We should not miss this holiday season."

Full-time babysitters should get one week of pay. Babysitters you use less frequently should receive a tip equivalent to the amount of time you use them per week. You can also include a small gift from your child.

Barber/Hair Stylist: Suggested Tip: One Visit’s Pay

Apartment Building Staff: Suggested Tip: $20 to $100 depending on how much you use them

Elevator operators should get in the range of $20 to $50.

Daily dog walkers should be tipped one week’s service and/or an inexpensive gift. If the service is less regular, tip the equivalent of one visit.

If you hire an extracurricular instructor, such as a private tutor, musical teacher, sport coach, or dance instructor, it is important to put some creative thought into their gifts.

A landscaper should get the cost of one visit. If there is a team, consider giving $10 to $20 each depending on the service and relationship.

United States Post Office and Fedex workers are not allowed to accept cash. Consider a small gift, gift card, or home-baked treat worth less than $20.

If you regularly visit the same manicurist, give them a cash tip equal to the amount of one session.

Massage Therapist: Suggested Tip: Cost of One Session

Early morning carriers who deliver daily should receive a $25 tip. Weekend newspaper deliverers should receive $10 or a small gift.

Personal Trainer: Suggested Tip: Cost of One Session

If you visit the kennel regularly, find your favorite pet sitter and give them a gift card. Pet concierges who perform extraordinary services should receive a $10 to $20 tip

Trash Collectors: Suggested Tip: $10 to $20 each
