Moving can be expensive, especially if one has to pay for moving services from one of the many moving companies out there and/or two or more house movers. Many will prefer to save money by renting their own truck, packing their own boxes and enlisting the help of their friends. Renting one’s own truck and doing their own packing is one thing, but it is how one gets the help of their friends to help them move that can get a little tricky. Some won’t even ask their friends for help; instead, they will hire movers or local students who are looking to make an extra few dollars.
Friends will not usually mind helping their friend out, especially if they expect to ask for help when they eventually have to move as well. Perhaps it is not so much the asking the friends to help move, it is what to compensate or reward them with. They didn’t have to help and it would be nice to give them something in return to show one’s appreciation for the help. There are many ways that a person can compensate their friends for helping them move. The first thing that most will think to compensate with is money, but some friends will not ask or even accept money in return for their help because they genuinely want to help their friend and don’t really need the money; however, offering money can be a nice indirect way for one to help a struggling friend who’s taken time out of their day to help their friend move.
Another way to reward the friends who help one moved is to throw a party after the move is done, as a way to thank them. It then gives everyone a chance to get together and enjoy some good food and conversation. Most will prefer the chance to get together with their friends for a good time instead of getting money in return for their help.
Gifts are another great idea as a way to thank one’s friends for helping them move, especially if there is no real time for a party or they don’t have much money to give out. Moving can be expensive, even if a person isn’t paying for moving services or house movers. Renting the truck and covering the first months rent and damage deposit can be taxing enough, not to mention the time that the person may have to take off. Taking the time to purchase some small but memorable gifts for the friends that help move can sometimes be preferred as compensation because it is special, especially if the one moving is moving far away.
There are more ways to compensate helpful friends than money. In fact, good friends will often prefer not to accept money. Being creative in this manner, such as throwing a moving party, creating gift baskets, giving out gift cards and so on, are all great ways to thank one’s friends for taking the time to help them move. Friends are special people and deserve something a little more unique than being hired as if they were complete strangers.
