It’s fun to think that the package you got just magically landed on your doorstep or the letter you sent to your friend just appeared in their mailbox, but the reality is it doesn’t work that way. Our delivery drivers are working crazy hours with a crazy amount of packages to get you that package that you track every single day. They often don’t get appreciated that much either. If I’m honest, I usually remember to put something in the mailbox every once in awhile to thank our mailman, Eric (I know this because he is always so kind to write back a thank you note) but I usually forget about Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and even grocery deliveries too. Although, they are working just as hard!
We don’t usually get as many packages from the other services, but we see them circle around our little neighborhood at least once a day. I’m not sure if they’re the same people each time, but I know they all deserve to be appreciated. Your thought might be how do you give something to a delivery driver when they could go to either your door or the garage. Plus you don’t even know when they’ll come (or in my case if they’ll come). That is my thought exactly! So, after thinking about some ideas I thought of making envelopes that you can tape to the door that say, “AMAZON DRIVER, THIS IS FOR YOU!” or whatever you prefer. There’s a small chance they’ll see it and take it! Usually people do things like this for the holidays but my favorite part about this service project is that the holidays are over! Which means it’s probably even a little more meaningful to get something from someone else. A little surprise :) There’s a lot of things you could put in this envelope, maybe a $5-$10 gift card to Wawa (That’s what I did!) or a $20 bill or a kind note with a DIY project that your kid made (or you if you’re a kid at heart!) and of course a small note to let them know you do really appreciate what they’re doing. Words that say “I appreciate you” go so far. Don’t just think it, say it out loud and let someone smile! If you don’t get packages, maybe you get to go food delivered and tip a little extra or maybe when you’re at the grocery store you simply say to the cashier that you appreciate them and what they’re doing during this time. YES you can do this in a way without having to spend money and it still goes the same length of showing your gratitude!! I’m so excited to see if they notice my envelopes and show some appreciation. There are so many people that get in their cars and deliver something for someone – who does it for you and what can you do for them? If you do anything, your challenge is to let someone (delivery driver, cashier, mail carrier, etc) know that you really appreciate them. Think about where you would be without them! Comment below who you appreciate!
