Hi
We did...$6 each, 1 for the driver and 1 for the helper, Aunite. And with 2 oranges for each of them. That's for my Kindy boy.
As for the Pri sch boy, we din do that for the bus driver and aunty.

I was thinking of giving $18 to both, is it too much? I just gave a box of mandarin oranges last week.

We didn't give ang bao but gave her a tub of new year cookies.

Guess it is up to individuals, whether or not to give and how much. We normally prepare some $6 ang baos and will give them out to the regular cleaners in our estate, sch bus drivers or any service personnel whom we engage. DH will even give to waiters/waitresses who serve our table at restaurants if we dine out during CNY.

oic…so it’s ok not to give hor…just curious…

Never give before. Always dun start anything if you dun want to maintain it for the next 6 years. $18 is a bit much…

[MMM]

I only started last year when my older kids told me other parents gave.


This year, i gave the uncle $12.

I used to give $10 to my DD’s van driver and auntie (Nursery to K2).


I gave $20 to my swimming instructor. He also gave $2 to all the children. I think it is personal preference; if you are happy with them, you can give some token of appreciation.
