Gift Vouchers

Is a member of your family moving?

Is a member of your family downsizing?

Do they need any boxes, paper or tape?

Are your parents or grandparents moving?

Are you too busy with your own and your family commitments that you just can't offer help to those who need it when they move?

Here is a story from one of our clients:

• He runs his own business.
• His mother is moving and needs a lot of help.
• She lives on the other side of Sydney, and it takes him about an hour or more to drive there.
• His brother and sister both have high-pressure jobs and one lives interstate.
• They are both married with children.

Some of his thoughts were:

• He could take the day off work, drive to his mother's and help her to sort out what she wants to take to her smaller home.
• There would probably be disagreements about what to keep and what to leave behind.
• They might not make much progress.
• They would probably get emotional and frustrated, making the whole experience an unpleasant one - moving house is already a traumatic experience.
• The whole day might be wasted and he might only get to spend a small amount of their time together talking.

His suggestion:

How about he get the whole family to contribute to the purchase of a gift voucher for someone to come in to help with the downsizing? Then, when the weekend came, he and his brother and sister could visit their mother, take her out to lunch and spend some quality time with her. They could really enjoy their time together with her, rather than arguing (sorry, discussing) about what things she should or should not be moving to her new home.

A Downsizing with Ease gift voucher is not only a great present...it will buy some peace of mind for the whole family. Just ask us to arrange an easy and affordable gift voucher.
