I pick an arbitrary dollar amount. A friend and small business owner says I give too much. I give what I think is kind. He gives a percentage of their pay.

I have small gifts the first year, then stopped giving a year end bonus.
Instead, everyone got a $100 gift card for Thanksgiving.
Then, I decided not to tie a bonus to year end so I gave a monetary bonus usually $250 randomly between August and October to those I wanted to show appreciation toward. One exception, July of 2021 (Covid), everyone got a full weeks pay. My staff was incredible!
Periodically, throughout the year I would randomly hand $5 and $10 Dunkin gift cards.
