What is a thoughtful gift for a long-time volunteer?
Consider personalized items, such as engraved keepsakes or custom photo books that highlight their journey and contributions over the years.
How much should I spend on a thank you gift?
The best gifts come from the heart, so focus on the thought behind the gift rather than the cost. An affordable yet meaningful item will be appreciated more than an expensive one without sentiment.
Are homemade gifts better than store-bought?
Both can be meaningful! Homemade gifts show extra thought and effort, while store-bought items can offer quality and convenience. Choose whatever aligns best with your volunteer's personality.
What if the volunteer is modest and doesn't like attention?
Opt for low-key gifts that are personal in nature rather than public displays of appreciation. A simple card, a small token, or a discreet gesture can show your thanks without putting them in the spotlight.
