We received requests from our clients about ways they can recognize their Freedom Makers. If this were a typical office environment, often a boss will drop by with a little something, such as a cup of coffee. Since we are in a virtual world, it’s a little more complicated! Additionally, not all Freedom Makers share their mailing addresses.

Below are some ideas to help you brainstorm. Gifts are completely up to you, and certainly not expected by us nor your Freedom Maker.

Common Recognition Days

• March:
  • International Women’s Day (March 8)
• April
  • Administrative Professionals Day (always the Wednesday of the last full week in April)
• May
  • Military Spouse Appreciation Day (always the Friday before Mother’s Day)
  • Virtual Assistant Day (always the third Friday)
• November
  • Veterans Day (November 11)
• December
  • For the holidays, FMVS emails clients the option to give a monetary bonus, if they choose.
• Dates vary
  • Your Freedom Maker’s birthday (just ask them if they’d like to share when it is!)
  • Your Assignment’s anniversary (1 or more years from the Kick Off Call). You’ll receive an email that month to tell you when it is.
  • Your company’s anniversary

Gift Ideas

• A monetary bonus. Just submit our form and we will take care of it for you.
• If you only have their email address:
  • A gift card (Starbucks, Amazon, GrubHub, etc)
  • A small donation to their favorite charity
  • Enrolling them in a professional development class they want to attend
• If you have their mailing address:
  • Branded item from your company
  • If you know your Freedom Maker’s tastes:
    • Flowers or a live plant
    • Gift basket
    • Gift from a company like Amazon, such as a candle, tea, lotion, book, etc.
