Birthdays, anniversaries and other celebrations can pose real problems for those in charge of buying a gift, particularly as unique gifts are hard to come by these days. That isn’t to say that there isn’t a good range of unique gift ideas out there, but coming across one that hasn’t already been bought for the person in question or that really suits the recipient, can be tricky to say the least.
But have you ever thought about gifting someone a cleaning voucher? Or perhaps you didn’t even know that they exist? While a cleaning voucher may not suit everybody, and many will be quick to point out that a man wouldn’t be particularly excited at the prospect of receiving one (although I’m inclined to sit this argument out, for equalities sake!), for some busy folks with hectic schedules, it could be the ideal gift.
Why a cleaning voucher makes a great gift:
Even if you were to take your best friend out for the day on their birthday, or treat a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary to dinner in a fancy restaurant, they may still be thinking about the chores at home that will be waiting for them when they get back. So why not solve that problem by buying them a cleaning voucher so that they can relax and truly enjoy their day or evening? Whether it’s you that takes them out, or you simply give them the opportunity to have some time away from home without the worry of a dirty home or a pile of laundry that still needs to be done, a cleaning voucher will be perfect.
Depending on how much of a cleaning addict your friend, family member or co worker is, they may get the full benefit of having a team of cleaners coming into their home and blitzing the place, as if cleaning is not their bag, then again, this would make the ideal gift. Or perhaps the recipient of your gift loves cleaning but spends a lot of time and energy devoted to it, in which case they would welcome the break from it and could rest assured that their home would be cleaned to a high standard.
How do cleaning vouchers work?
It’s a simple concept and once the voucher has been purchased – which can be done online or over the telephone – the recipient (or the gift giver, depending upon the circumstances) places a call to the cleaning company to book their slot at a time and date convenient to them. Vouchers can be bought to incorporate a half days cleaning, full day or to tackle specific cleaning tasks in the home that the recipient particularly hates doing or has neglected to do.
So, why not think outside the box for your next gift idea and purchase a cleaning voucher for your friend, loved one or colleague.
