We have a housekeeper and a gardener to consider for Christmas bonuses. For our housekeeper, we generally give her a cash bonus (more than required) and a gift. This year, sadly, her mother is dying and we gave her money (quite a bit) to send home for the funeral. I will still give her a small gift as well, from the kids. Our gardener will receive $1000 pesos and a small gift. He works for several families so he should make out pretty well. I don't know of any special custom that accompanies the gift giving. I am certain whatever you do will be appreciated.
