What is another word for “tip” (as in 'tipping money')?

I've written:



We recommend tipping directly to the person you want to receive the tip.



I don't want to use the word 'tip' at the end of the sentence as I used it earlier on. Is there an alternative word?

  • Why don't you want to use tip at the end? As the answers point out, gratuity could be used here, but, given that tipping appears in the first part of the sentence, using tip at the end makes it clearer how the two parts are related. Also, gratuity may be an overly formal term for the context.

    And you do not "tip to"; you give a tip to someone or you tip someone.
