Why Show Appreciation to Delivery Drivers?
During the busy holiday season, delivery people work long hours to bring lots of packages right to our front porch. Whether it’s the Amazon delivery guy, USPS drivers, postal workers, or other service workers, these essential workers keep the world of online shopping running smoothly. With Christmas time bringing an increase in holiday packages and Christmas shopping, delivery workers truly deserve a small act of kindness.
Setting out a basket of goodies with a free printable sign is an easy way to show your gratitude for their hard work. A delivery driver snack basket is also a fun way to say thank you while providing some much-needed yummy snacks and cold drinks during their long days.
Are These Signs Just for the Holidays?
No! We have included a sign that can be used for any time of the year, too. It’s a great idea for any time of year as a great way to say thank you to your hardworking delivery drivers.
Don’t forget about your Amazon delivery driver after you went crazy on Prime Day buying up all the things. It’s a simple gesture that can really brighten their day when you know you and everyone around you has been doing a lot of online shopping.
Don’t Forget the Summer Heat
The summer is another great time to set out snacks and especially drinks. When it’s super hot, workers are using additional energy to survive the heat. Set out drinks in a cooler and a few light snacks to help them get through their long and hot days.
What’s Included in the Free Printable Signs?

What to Put in Your Delivery Driver Snack Basket
Wondering what to include in your delivery driver snack basket? Here are some easy ideas for snack ideas that delivery workers will appreciate:
Snacks:
- Granola bars
- Protein bars
- Trail mix (individual packs)
- Crackers with cheese or peanut butter
- Packs of nuts
- Individual bags of popcorn
- Pretzels or chips
- Poptarts (or Poptart bites)
Sweet Treats:
- Mini candy bars
- Chocolate-covered pretzels
- Fruit snacks
- Cookies (individually wrapped)
- Mints or gum
- Individually bagged muffins
Drinks:
- Bottled water
- Cans of soda
- Sports drinks (Gatorade, Powerade)
- Iced Coffee drinks
- Energy drinks
Practical Items:
- Hand warmers (for winter)
- Lip balm
- Small packs of tissues
- Hand sanitizer wipes
- Breath mints or gum
- A little gift like gift cards (optional, but thoughtful)
Healthier Options:
- Fresh fruit (like bananas or apples)
- Dried fruit packs
- Low-sugar snack bars
- Veggie straws or baked chips
If providing drinks, don’t forget about the temperature outside. If it’s on the hotter side, I suggest putting the drinks out in a cooler. Or if it’s in the middle, just add an icepack or two to the bin. Freezing outside? Skip the cooler altogether but watch if the temperatures go below freezing, you may need to put the drinks in an insulated bag so they don’t freeze.
You can easily find most of these items at your local grocery store or Dollar Tree without an additional cost to put together a treat basket. It’s the perfect way to spread some holiday cheer and brighten someone’s day.
What About Hot Drinks?
Skip the hot drinks unless you know your driver well and hand it to them directly. Never leave hot beverages outside on the porch where a curious child or even animal could accidentally burn themselves.

Tips for Setting Up Your Snack Basket

- Include a mix of healthy options (like granola bars) and yummy snacks (like candy bars or bags of chips).
- Add a personal note to let delivery workers know how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication during this busy time of year.
