I particularly enjoyed your point about who should get tips. If and when a doctor saves my life, I'd say they deserve a big tip! Great list.

Tipping your postman with fresh baked brownies might seem like a good idea, but unless you are on first name basis, they might just end up in the trash. Also, remember that some places do not allow tipping, so be sure you know what is and isn't allowed. Finally, since my mom was a teacher and I have heard this from many, many other teachers - a note of appreciation will go much, much further in spreading holiday cheer than some little knick knack or food item (especially with everyone on diets and with food allergies.) Although everyone loves cash, for many of these categories a handwritten well thought out note would be more appreciated than a trinket.

Babysitters 2. Real Estate Agents 3. Vendors and subcontractors if you own your own business. 4. Your employess if you own your own business. (Don't know if that counts as a tip or a Xmas bonus.) 5. Gardener or Landscaper That's off the top of my head. How about:
