Good Ways To Help A Friend Move
There are so many good ways to help a friend move. Taking just one job off your friends list will make a big difference and will let them know they are not alone. It doesn’t take much effort to help a little and it will mean a lot. Here are a few ideas to get you started…
Help Find Boxes
It’s good for the environment to reuse boxes. Not to mention the savings on your budget when you find already used boxes and put them to work again. How wonderful to have a friend who will check with local businesses and go online to find used boxes.
Help With A Garage Sale
We usually have a garage sale when we move. A friend to help with signs, making sure there is enough change, pricing and selling would be great. Also after the sale, you could volunteer to take what is left to Goodwill. In the case that your friend has some larger items to sell, you could handle the job of placing the ads online and in the local paper.
Help With Packing
Even if your friends like to do their own packing there may be some things they could use your help with, like books or dishes. Most of the time, an offer to help pack is going to be music to your friends ears.
Help With Their Children
You could provide childcare at your home, or take the kids to the park or to see a movie. Just some time alone to get some things done would be so valuable to your friends when they are moving. Children take a lot of attention, and we want to make sure they don’t feel left out while Mom and Dad are packing or preparing for the move.
Bring Food
How fun to bring dinner to your friends who have been busy packing all day. At some point the kitchen will close due to packing and eating out is all that will be left….bringing a casserole and some bread and salad can really save the day. Be sure to take paper plates, and plastic knives and forks. Or better yet, invite them to your home, it’s a great way to get to see them before the leave especially if they are moving to another city.
Gifts They Can Use
Restaurant gift certificates can be a wonderful relief for your friends who are packing to move. Also, gift certificates to home stores, or decorating stores will be much appreciated when your friends are in their new house and it’s time to make it their home. And it will be especially sweet that you thought ahead.
Send Them Off With Love
Whether you organize a large party or a small get together, letting your friends know that you love them can be a huge gift during the stress of moving. Showering your friends with love and support will be greatly appreciated.
