Note: One of the greatest Christmas movies EVER!
besides Love Actually<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Christmas is slowly gaining upon all of us, for those with children it can be a time of bliss and happiness. To wake up and see your children’s faces, as they quickly become overwhelmed by the sight of the over stacked present and a half-eaten carrot left by Rudolph. It’s also the time that we get to see all the family members that we hugely avoid all year, I mean love seeing… well at least pretend to for the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before I continuously ramble on about how much I love Christmas (Bah humbug) I must dive into talking about gifting Santa’s real helpers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa’s real helpers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers are very much the real helpers in the world. Like Elves, volunteers work tirelessly without pay and put the needs of others before themselves all year round. Such selfless acts should not go unrecognised. So I think it would only be right if we all rewarded our helpers with a little something this Christmas. A thank you is all very well and an excellent way to show your appreciation. But at Christmas, everyone loves a present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve made a list, I’ve checked it twice and I know which gifts are just right…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Custom thank you boxes <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A cost-effective gift that can be customed to your helpers. Perhaps more for the lady helpers in the world, but will look very impressive under the tree. In the box could be bath bombs, creams, soaps and candles (no one holds a candle to you). You can thank me for that one later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handwritten cards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Simple but a handwritten heartfelt card with true meaning will pull at the heartstrings of your helpers. The words which you write will really count. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping hand tree <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Volunteers love a personal touch! Which I highly recommend for those helpers who work with children. Using cut-outs of the children’s hands and getting them to write a small personal message. This would be a well-received gift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank You for your Thyme Plant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Small but comical gesture for your helpers, after all, they have spent a lot of their thyme with you. Maybe it’s about thyme you gave some back… Okay, I’ll stop now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Party <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Go on throw a Christmas party, celebrate your volunteers for a whole evening. Awards, certificates and special guest speakers would help show your true appreciation to your helpers. Watch out for Mary on the double Ports though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone loves a mug <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now we know for a fact, volunteers love a good cuppa tea. And I’m sure as a volunteer manager you know only too well. So logically your helpers would probably appreciate a customised mug. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The true spirit <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No matter what you end up giving your volunteers this Christmas, really it doesn’t matter. Providing you’ve put sincerity behind your gift I’m sure your helpers will be thankful to have received something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
