Do you give gifts to your tenants?

[Teresa Johnson]

Hi y'all,

I'm a new landlord in Austin, TX.  I am prepping for the holidays and was wondering if y'all give presents or gift cards to your tenants for holidays (and other events), and whether you use a service to manage these gifts or if you do it by hand?

Thank you for your help.

I tried sending gifts last year and not a single tenant thanked or even acknowledged it so I won't waste my time and money now. It's reasonable enough that I properly maintain the properties and fix things when they ask.
