Giving the Gift of Time this Christmas
Give Someone You Love a Merry Maids® Gift Card
The same dilemma pops up every year around this time – what do you get for the person who has everything?
Picture this. You’ve thought about it. You’re a careful gift giver. You’ve planned, purchased, wrapped, and given your gift and it’s just not right. The recipient is slightly disappointed, and you’re not happy about it either.
Let’s look at the challenges with some of the “usual” gifts.
Common Gifts
- Food: It’s great, but it’s temporary. It can seem impersonal, or even unwelcome if the recipient is trying to eat healthy. Also, don’t we all indulge a little too much during the holidays already?
- Electronics: Which version, is it the right brand, is it going to be outdated in a year? This is a tricky one.
- Clothing: Sometimes you get it right, but if you get it wrong, you’re just giving your loved one more chore, waiting in a long line at store or shipping location to return or exchange it.
None of these are likely to really enhance the lives of your recipient…but giving the gift of time can be a treasured gift, providing them precious free time to spend time with family, on hobbies…or simply relaxing. Who could use the Gift of Time? Almost any adult on your list!
Who Would Enjoy the Gift of Time?
- Young people in new place: They’re busy with work, their social lives and often, DIY projects. They’d love to spend their precious free time on something other than cleaning!
- New parents: We’ve all seen them. They’re deliriously happy, yet don’t have time to shower, let alone scrub the bathroom. This is one of the kindest presents you can give to a new parent. They will no doubt use their extra time to sleep.
- Busy professionals: Ah, the relief of coming home to a clean house after a long day at work. No one wants to spend their weekends cleaning. It’s also great for work-from-home employees who want to keep their home – and home office – clean and organized!
- Seniors: Even seemingly easy household chores can become difficult with age, so not only are you giving time – you’re giving comfort and one less thing to worry about.
- Business owners: Merry Maids isn’t just for homes – we also clean small offices and workplaces! Do you know a small business owner who could use the Gift of Time?
- People who value free time: This pretty much covers it! Who wouldn’t appreciate a break from cleaning? Most of us don’t need more “things” – we need more time!
A Merry Maids gift card means more than just a clean place to live. It offers the freedom to spend time doing what truly matters, whether it’s hobbies, spending time with family, or relaxing. It’s a thoughtful and practical gift that will always fit, bring true joy, and show you truly care.
This holiday season, give the gift of time. Give the gift of Merry Maids.
