Do you do gift baskets for your tenants?

[Sayoni Banerjee]

What do you do? I would like to give my current renter a gift for the holidays ; and a week HND gift basket for my other one - but no idea what to put together. Thank you in advance for your thoughts and replies...

Nothing. Does your mortgage company give you a gift? How about your auto lender? Your cell phone company? TV provider?

It's a business. You've entered into a mutually beneficial contract. They abide by the terms, you abide by the terms, everyone is happy. There's no need to treat them like your buddies and there's almost zero benefit from it.
