More and more, people are realizing that the best gifts aren’t material items at all, but services and experiences. By offering these kinds of gifts, you decrease the amount of “stuff” being purchased and thrown away and you relieve the burden of potentially purchasing something the recipient doesn’t want and won’t use. Purchasing a service such as meals or house cleaning, or experiences such as a vacation or a class, ensure that the recipient has a practical gift without the carbon footprint. At Clean Bees, we get our fair share of gift service recipients, and so many times we hear it was the best gift they could have received — and we, biasedly, agree! In today’s post, we’ll share a few of the times that a one-time house cleaning service makes the best gift.

Baby Shower

There is nothing more that a new parent loves than help with the chores! Undoubtedly, they will be overwhelmed with the number of babysitting offers and meal deliveries, when all they really want to do is spend time with their new bundle of joy while not worrying about the routine chores. Be the hero of the baby shower (and, produce some happy tears) when you gift the parents-to-be a house cleaning service to use at their convenience. Some parents choose to have us visit while they are still in the hospital so they can come home to a clean house, while others prefer to wait a week or so after the baby comes home to help spruce up the house before they invite guests and have no time to clean between feedings and nap schedules. Up the ante and gift them a repeat service!

Mother’s Day

Nothing says “thank you” and “I love you,” like relieving a mother of her duties for her special day. Gift your mother or wife a house cleaning service or secretly schedule it so she walks into a home she didn’t clean herself to make her day. You don’t have to wait until the second Sunday in May, you can go ahead and schedule a house cleaning service anytime to offer a loving surprise to the woman in your life who does so much daily.

Wedding Gift

Wedding registries are full of tangible gifts and home appliances. Think outside the box and offer the newlyweds a house cleaning service to clean up their space post-wedding bliss. This gift is particularly useful for couples who move in together for the first time after their wedding. Combining household goods and learning each other’s routines, while also enjoying each other’s company can take a toll on the cleanliness of their home. A house cleaning service is a perfect gift to spruce things back up and allow the new couple to relax in a clean home together.

Condolence Gift

Those who suffer a great loss such as the death of a parent or family member can cause grief and depression that impedes the desire to carry on daily chores. While you may feel helpless to help, offering a clean home can provide some comfort and relieve the struggle of the day-to-day grind.

For birthdays or just to say “thank you,” we think that a house cleaning service makes the perfect gift. At Clean Bees, we offer a wide range of house cleaning services to fit every need and budget. From a basic clean to deep, thorough cleaning, and everything in between, we make a great gift for everyone in your life!
