Giving the Gift of Organization

This time of year I always receive requests from thoughtful givers interested in purchasing gift certificates for a loved one.

When I get these requests, my first question is always whether they are sure the gift will be appreciated. Has the gift recipient expressed interest in working with an organizer?  Or in getting organized, or one of the Netflix organizing shows (Marie Kondo or The Home Edit). 

We never want the gift to be an insult to their home management or given in a season where decision making would be too overwhelming, so if this is not a conversation that has been bridged, I always encourage the giver to carefully put out those feelers before moving ahead.

If I’m assured that the gift is wanted, I gladly provide a gift ANNOUNCEMENT. It is not a "certificate", in that I don’t accept payment until the client calls for the appointment. It's one thing when a voucher donated to a charity and won at a silent auction is never redeemed, but something else for someone to invest in a gift where someone never calls.

Especially in the case of a multi-session package, I want the client to be sure we are a good fit working together, and that our first session was a GREAT experience, before the full package is paid for, as well!

So if you’d like to give an Organized Treasure gift certificate, feel free to check out my pricing here, and then contact me. You can give me the preliminary information, and I’ll provide you with a pdf of the gift announcement to print out and give your loved one, detailing your gift.  I can reach out to them after the exchange (many who desire my services have a hard time taking that first step, and making the call, so if it's okay for me to initiate, I am always willing to do that!).  We have a phone consultation and schedule that first visit, and hopefully that will be the beginning of a gift that they will TREASURE for a long time to come!
