A unique gift for Valentine's Day and International Women's Day: Support in care

Thinking about a unique Valentine's gift for your loved one? Or perhaps looking for a way to show appreciation on International Women's Day? Time—whether spent together or dedicated to self-care—is undoubtedly a significant and needed gift. However, few people realize that a gift can also be support in caring for loved ones, allowing for a much-needed moment of relaxation.

An evening for two?

Among Valentine's plans, outings reign supreme: a dinner at a fancy restaurant, a walk, a movie, or even less traditional shared workshops, experiences, and trips. However, everyday responsibilities, such as caring for children, often stand in the way of fulfilling dreams of quality time together.

Even if you love family time, you might find yourself wishing for a moment alone together, especially on Valentine's Day. Not everyone can always rely on family help. Meanwhile, if daily childcare is your sole responsibility, having some special time can be particularly valuable for your relationship.

Therefore, when thinking about a Valentine's gift, it’s worth ensuring that childcare is part of a larger gift, allowing you to realize your plans. Knowing that the little ones are well cared for, safe, and having a good time will certainly make it easier to enjoy your gift and make the time together peaceful and pleasant.

Appreciating women's strength!

A traditional carnation is no longer enough. More and more of us recognize how much we owe to women and want to express this gratitude. Women themselves also feel their strength, and March 8th is a perfect occasion to celebrate it with other women.

Meanwhile, research shows that a significant majority of unpaid work, including caring for children, as well as for elderly and disabled relatives, still falls on women.

Therefore, on a day when we remind ourselves of the importance of equal rights and opportunities, it’s worth focusing on caregiving duties. Support in performing these tasks on this or any other day, or even for a longer period, can be a practical and extremely valuable gift.

Care as a gift

Certainly, few of us think about help from a nanny or caregiver as a potential gift. However, reducing the burden of demanding caregiving responsibilities can be one of the greatest needs of our loved ones, truly worth addressing.

When preparing such a gift and using it, we face many natural barriers, primarily the difficulty in finding someone who can help and whom we can trust. At Care Express, we address these needs by helping match care to each family's requirements and thoroughly vetting all our partners.

The trust our clients and institutions place in us is also demonstrated by our partnership with the Visa Benefit Program. This is a benefit platform for individual clients that any Visa cardholder can access by registering for the program. The Visa Benefit Program offers special deals, discounts, and benefits with partners that are not available elsewhere on the market.

This is particularly worth considering if you’re thinking of care as a gift for Valentine's Day or International Women's Day, as it allows for short-term care packages ideal for these special occasions. Visit the program’s website to see what we’ve prepared for you! Happy celebrating!
