What should you NOT buy your tenant for the holidays?

What should you NOT buy your tenant for the holidays?

I've seen a few posts around from landlords wondering if they should get their tenants a holiday gift and, if so, what to get.

After walking around the dollar store earlier this week, I thought it would be much more fun to discuss what you should NOT get your tenants as a gift. My list:

1) Cleaning supplies

2) Candles (who doesn't want open flames in their rentals?)

3) Dollar Store gift cards. This might be market-dependent, but I would look like the biggest cheapskate if I gave out DS gift cards.

    I would recommend staying away from specific holiday or religious items. Getting packets of hot cocoa and candy canes are always good with a custom card that has your logo and name on it. If you buy the supplies in bulk you can get a small bag put together for a few dollars per resident.

    Holiday pastries or snacks are always a great gift to hand out! I usually like to personalize mine a bit and add a small friendly note.
