Download and print the holiday thank-you sign. If you don't have one (grab our freebie above), there are many free options available online that you can print out.
Place the sign in your storage basket. No matter what storage option you choose—a basket, cooler, tote with a lid, delivery box, or galvanized tub—ensure that the sign is clearly visible for the drivers to see.
Fill your storage basket with a selection of snacks, drinks or bottled water. Some popular snack ideas include Nutter Butters, Oreos, bags of pretzels or chips, mini hand sanitizers, candy bars, protein bars, Gatorade Zero, and jerky sticks or Slim Jims.
Place the basket outside your porch, patio, or entryway. Ensure that it is clearly visible and accessible for delivery drivers to grab on the go.
Double-check that the sign clearly indicates that the snacks are for delivery drivers, so there's no confusion.
If you live in a warm and humid climate, consider using a cooler as your container to keep the refreshments cool.
Recruit the kids to help put together your treat box; this can be a fun family activity and a lesson in showing gratitude.
Keep monitoring the box and replenishing the snacks as they disappear. The goal is to always have something for the drivers to take.
And that's pretty much it! This simple act of kindness can mean a lot to the hardworking delivery drivers making our online shopping possible, especially during the hustling holiday season.
Remember, behind every package delivered is an individual who could use a small act of appreciation. So, spare a thought and a snack for them!
