…and it’s not too late to oil the wheels of relationships with a little gift giving. My husband was out yesterday delivering little gifts of chocolate to the bank tellers who had been especially helpful to him this year, and to the ladies who have helped us at the post office.When there was a language school in Butuan and a constant stream of foreigners were collecting mail from the same post office box, we all baked a batch of cookies and took them in for all the post office employees to enjoy. Later we took calendars to all the postal employees when we lived in Gingoog. We have always gotten extra special service in the restaurant where we give a little cash gift at Christmas for all the waiters and workers.So, those of you who live in the Philippines, think about expressing a little special appreciation for those who have given you good service this last year. It will be remembered!Suggested gifts: Toblerone chocolate, small cheese balls, calendars, small fruit baskets, breads or cakes.
