Gifts for Housekeepers
- Warehouse clubs allow individuals to buy items in bulk, frequently at reduced prices due to the volume of the purchase. Your housekeeper can purchase supplies in bulk for cleaning homes. Even if she works for a company that provides her cleaning supplies, she can purchase clothes at reduced prices for wearing to clean homes. Warehouse clubs that may be in your area include Sam's Club, BJ's and Costco.
- Purchase her a magazine subscription to give her new ideas for how to manage her career. Magazines such as "Good Housekeeping" and "Better Homes and Gardens" can provide ideas for cleaning and organizing a home. Articles include information ranging from cleaning ideas to tips for those running their own business on marketing and gaining new clients. The magazine doesn't have to be about work, though; if you know your housekeeper has a hobby, purchase a subscription to support that interest. She can enjoy reading it when she has a break from cleaning.
- The cost of working as a housekeeper goes beyond the supplies; transportation is also a significant expense. Purchase your housekeeper a gift card to a local gas station to help him offset his fuel expenses. A gift card for an oil change will help him keep his car running. After he's cleaned houses all day, give him a break by having someone else clean his car, with a gift card for a car cleaning and detailing service.
- After spending the entire day working in other people's homes, he might not want to walk into his own kitchen and spend time working there to cook a meal. Prepare him a homemade meal and place it in your refrigerator for him to take home to enjoy or share with his family. If you know of his favorite restaurant, get him a gift certificate for dinner or to grab a quick lunch in between cleaning homes during the day.
