Organising Gift Cards and Vouchers

ORGANISING YOUR GIFT CARDS AND VOUCHERS

Gift cards and vouchers make fabulous gifts at Christmas, birthdays or as a simple thank you.

Whilst I am decluttering and organising with a client, we often find vouchers stored in various places throughout their home. We also often find vouchers that have already expired, which is a shame?

The Benefits

By setting up a simple system to manage your gift cards and vouchers you will:

⭐️Know exactly which cards that you have (including value and expiry)
⭐️Set up a place to store your cards for easy access
⭐️Use your cards before they expire

Blissfully Organised 5 Easy Steps to Manage Your Cards

❤️AUDIT – Collate all your cards, vouchers and coupons from various storage places in your home. Categorise the vouchers by type i.e. food/drink, clothes, entertainment, books etc
❤️STORAGE ZONE – identify a place to store your cards which can be accessed easily
❤️FILING SYSTEM – this will depend on how many cards that you have. If you only have a few a simple clear plastic wallet will work well. However, if you have a lot of cards, I recommend a business card organiser. You can also use Apps such as Gyft, if you prefer to be digital.
❤️REVIEW – make sure you check your cards before making an online purchase or going on a shopping trip. Checking frequently will also let you know which cards will expire soon.
❤️BOOK NOW – If you have vouchers for a gift experience, I recommend that you book this straight away (even if you don’t use it for several months). Often experiences get booked up quite far ahead of time, as does your diary. You don’t want to miss that special treat.

If you need support to organise a space in your home or workplace please contact Blissfully Organised. I also support my clients to set up effective organisational systems and be more efficient with their time management.

Lets keep organising!

Tracy Ross, Professional Organiser

Tracy is amazing. We were renovating our house and finally was able to plan some extra storage. Tracy helped us to plan out new fitted wardrobes and then came back a few months later to help me get into a system with my laundry ( one of the things as a family I find hard to keep under control! ). She is kind, non judgemental, motivational & inspirational! I would say most people could do with a bit of Blissfully Organised in their lives!

I first met Tracy in 2019. I live overseas and wanted to help my Mother clear a downstairs room to become a bedroom, I needed a gentle, trusted professional to complete the task after I had returned to my home. We all met and agreed upon a plan, but it was not to be as my Mother’s health deteriorated very quickly and she passed away. Although I did return to the UK a few times that year, decluttering wasn’t a priority. Then Covid put an end to my being able to return. Finally, in spring of this year, flight restrictions were lifted and I saw an opportunity to return to the UK, now faced with the task of clearing the family home. I contacted Tracy and thankfully, despite short notice, she had some free days to help me. We arranged 6 days throughout my 2 1/2 weeks to help me stay on track and motivated. Tracy helped me stay focussed and helped me believe we could achieve a fairly daunting task of going through a lifetime of memories, papers, photos and possessions. I had to be very disciplined about what was kept as whatever I chose to keep was to be shipped back to my Country. Tracy gave me time to tell a story about an item and why it made the “keeper”, or “think about it” pile, yet didn’t break stride in her work whilst listening. It was a very cathartic process. I felt like I was talking to a long time friend. She has a talent for putting you at ease, and for helping you see objects with a critical eye. Not once did I feel she was making the decision, more that she helped me verbalize my attachment, or not, and that really builds a bond of trust. After each session, I had “homework” to complete before we met again and a follow up email charting the successes of the day and the plan for the next session. As I was on my own during my stay in my family home, this could have been rather lonely, but knowing that Tracy was coming, both broke up the monotony of going through endless boxes and kept me on task such that the job was successfully completed.

Tracy has helped me many times over the years, and I think I must have known her for 10 years now! When I first contacted her I had reservations about letting someone into my home, making judgments and telling me what I should do. But Tracy's service is NOT like that at all. She did a full home audit and we chatted about what I hoped to achieve. For years I'd been frustrated by our storage area, a large room under the house which was hard to access and full of things we hadn't seen for years. We agreed to tackle it and Tracy suggested that to start with, we took everything out. I thought she was completely mad at this point. Three hours later we had done just that, assessed what was there, got rid of some of it, sorted some and made plans for the rest. It was like a massive weight had lifted from my shoulders. After that she helped me organise rooms, and filter through boxes of stuff. More recently she helped me prepare for a big move. It's always an absolute pleasure to see Tracy and she is very thoughtful in her approach. Her service is life changing and I am very grateful that I contacted Tracy all those years ago. Contact her now, you honestly won't regret it.

Tracy helped my young girls and I declutter before a house move. In particular I was impressed with how Tracy got on well with the girls (7 yrs and 3 yrs) straight away and explained the sorting process simply. This has had a lastly impact on my children, getting them to appreciate you can’t keep everything!! I too enjoyed spending focused time with Tracy looking at my wardrobe. I will definitely be implementing the learnings for my clothes purchases such as reducing my tendency to buy some items in too many colour ways! Thank you Tracy for all your help. Jo
