5 gift ideas for your helper

By Delphine Kahn and HelperChoice
 
It’s December: temperatures are dropping, scarves and coats are coming out of the wardrobes, Christmas dinners are planned and gifts’ lists are growing! Make sure you don’t forget anyone, including your wonderful helper. Sometimes it’s hard to guess what makes her really happy, so here are a few ideas that could certainly help you.

 

• Money, money… but not only!

Most helpers come to Hong Kong to meet the needs of their families, that’s why a small bonus for Christmas is always appreciated. To make the gesture a little more personal, a nice envelope, a drawing of your child, a small postcard or a red pocket will really make her happy.

 

• Keep in touch with the family

Far from home, she or a member of her family may need a new phone to keep in touch easily. Expansys is a marketplace that offers a large choice for all budgets.

 

• Keep fit

As Sunday is their only day off, many helpers go hiking or participate in trails. If your helper is in this case or wants to try the adventure, it is essential that she has good shoes to take care of her ankles and her back. Decathlon just arrived in Hong Kong, enjoy!
You can also give her a voucher to participate in one of the Green races organized in 2018: between 4 and 75 kilometers, there are a wide range of races (plus, they are zero-waste)!

 

• Always learn

She certainly has a hobby. Cooking, makeup, sewing, music, dance... you will find many training courses dedicated to helpers in YWCA centers on Hong Kong Island or Kowloon.

 

• Leave her the choice

Sometimes the best is to let her choose. Think about coupons and gift cards offered in many stores: cosmetics, spa, cinema, jewelry, or what she prefers. On the website Coupon MALL, she can also buy the food that will garnish her table on Christmas Eve.
 
Be that as it may, do not forget to thank her for all the help she gives you and say "Merry Christmas!".
