Coming up with gift ideas is challenging. If you want a unique gift this holiday season, consider giving home services. While not everyone on your list would enjoy HVAC maintenance for Christmas, new homeowners and older parents would be especially delighted. Grown children and aging parents may find keeping up with the expense and hassle of home maintenance taxing. Instead of another pair of socks, give the gift of home help.

How to Give Home Maintenance Gifts

Many home service providers don't offer gift cards. Yet, they may allow you to prepay toward service. If not, consider giving money toward the service. You can also ask the gift recipient what type of home service is helpful. Then, you could offer to pay up to a certain amount at the time of service.

The idea is to ease the burden and encourage the completion of specific home maintenance tasks. Call your local home service provider to ask about gift certificates.

Gift Ideas to Make Home Maintenance a Breeze

HVAC Preventative Maintenance

Most homeowners know they need to stay on top of HVAC maintenance, but it isn't always a priority. Regular HVAC maintenance not only keeps the unit clean and in good working order, but can also increase energy efficiency. It is a gift that keeps giving all year.

Deep House Cleaning

Don't we all love a clean house? Deep cleaning service includes extra tasks that are only needed a few times per year. Deep cleaning service usually includes regular house cleaning along with a more thorough cleaning. Duties may include: cleaning baseboards, scrubbing grout, cleaning behind and under appliances, cleaning blinds, disinfecting trash cans, and more. 

Gutter and Downspout Cleaning

Especially for our older loved ones, DIY gutter cleaning can become a safety hazard. Yet, clean gutters help avoid other maintenance issues related to improper drainage. Professional gutter cleaning typically only takes a few hours but adds lots of benefits for homeowners.

Seasonal Lawn Cleanup Service

Like with deep cleaning, seasonal lawn care service cleans up the lawn between seasons to reduce the burden on the homeowner. The service typically includes cleaning out garden beds, removing dead plants, trimming shrubs and trees, fertilizing, mowing and edging, aeration, and more, depending on the time of the year.

Professional Home Organization

For the clutter bug in your life, home organization service can bring needed relief. Whether needing to downsize, going through a major change, or simply wanting more order, professional organizers can help get a house in shape. The service may include decluttering, hauling away unwanted items, and organizing home storage systems. 

Home Inspection Service

You don't need to be in the process of buying or selling a home to benefit from a home inspection. Often, when we've lived in a home for several years, we no longer know the home's actual condition. A home inspector evaluates the current state of the property and provides a written report of the findings. This report creates a great starting point for home improvement projects.

Give the Gift of Home

The idea behind giving gifts is to celebrate others with generosity. Think outside the box this holiday season with creative gift ideas.
