Tipping can be complicated enough, but when it comes to the holidays — and the gift-giving expectations that come along with them — it can get downright daunting.

If you have any of the following people in your life, here are what most people tip them:

  • The baby sitter: A cash gift equivalent to one night's pay
  • Housekeeper: A cash gift equivalent to one day's (or week's) pay, depending on frequency
  • Trash collector: $10 to $25 per person
  • Lawn care employees: A cash gift equivalent to one week's pay
  • Newspaper delivery person: $10 to $30
  • Hairdresser/manicurist/massage therapist: A tip equivalent to one visit, a gift or a gift card
  • Dog walker: A cash gift equivalent to one day to one week's worth of service
