At that point just ask what she wants or send her money. Would it actually be any less thoughtless? Or would sending each other money just make it clear that you're just pointlessly trading her twenty dollar bill for your twenty dollar bill? Would asking what the other wants express more than is comfortable just how little you know about each other at this point?

You could just text each other and leave the weird consumerism is a part of friendship capitalist narrative in the past where it belongs.

The person who delivers our mail, not only under these pandemic circumstances,
but under 100°+ temps gets at least 2 a year from us from places I know she likes.

Well, actually, that's illegal
(as well as pretty soulless).

I thought it was common practice in some places to give the postman a Christmas tip?

It is more special than cash, but can be spent like cash. And as far as my friend, I know she counts on the gas card every year and she knows I count on the groceries.

The two most socially isolated people giving advice on relationships and gift giving lol

No. You give them a card with a gift card inside.

You can't give cash or anything that can be exchanged for cash.
Yeah, so you want to bake some cookies for the postal people to share during Xmas? Sure.
You wanna give a $20 gift card for their service. Sure.
...but don't have some harebrained idea that it's some kind of damn conspiracy between
capitalist overlords and the postal service.
