WATERTOWN, Connecticut — Watertown resident Jacob Blewitt, who orders most of his household items and Christmas gifts online, decided to give back to delivery drivers this year.
A few years ago, Blewitt watched a video online of someone leaving treats out for delivery drivers. He decided to do the same this year, and his Watertown home is now gaining a reputation for its kindness among drivers.
Delivery drivers who stop at his home are greeted with a note that says, "Take a snack and beverage." Ring camera video shows drivers pause before they take a closer look at the holiday surprise he left out for them.
"Hershey's, Snickers, I love you," a delivery driver is heard saying on the footage.
Another driver, seen searching through the candy and drinks on the video, commented that "this is the best house on the block."
Blewitt, a father of four kids and a husband, wanted to repay the favor to those who deliver to his home early in the morning, sometimes without breaks.
"I decided with the holidays, and how busy it is, and how little these guys get to take breaks, to put out snacks and some drinks so that they can have some refreshment while they're doing all their hard work,” Blewitt said.
He says the delivery drivers' reactions are his favorite part.
Blewitt noted that the candy goes the fastest.
