Is there a way of showing appreciation? Do people give a tip? A gift?

It isn’t really Hilton specific, but since it is a Hilton hotel I thought I’d ask here. Also I give the specific hotel, because the answer might be different from different locations and/or hotel types.

Thanks for the thoughts.
In The Netherlands a cash "tip" may give offense to someone in a professional role, as many hotel staff see themselves. A small gift with a handwritten note might be better received.
