    Are you expected to give even if you're still a single and unmarried?

    I feel like if you are the "boss" or a superior in the hierarchy, then you are expected to give...

    But I think giving to people who provide service to you throughout the year is a nice touch...can never buy too much goodwill...

    Yes! Not to colleagues, but to the cleaning/tea lady or your secretary. At home the management/guards.

    We give the guy on our street. Never really noticed him until we became dog owners. It's a tough job!

    Pro-tip .... use different envelopes for different amounts:

    And then remember what you've put in each envelope.

    And if you are giving way above the norm for a very special person who has taken care of you over the year (one of our building cleaners, two security guards) make sure you put it in a special little packet so they remember who gave it to them
