There are some days when you haven’t been exactly the best at communicating exactly what you want or need but your VA came through for you despite the lack of information.
Your virtual assistant has been an absolute life saver in expressing your ideas as if they can read your thoughts and now that it’s that time of year where you want to show some love and appreciation to those around you it is also the perfect time to do so for your VA.
Showing love doesn’t just apply to friends and loved ones you can also apply it to your business.
Want to know how? Tell your Virtual Assistant you love working with them and appreciate the efficient service that they provide. You can do this in a number of fun and simple ways.
But there are a few things you need to consider first:
- How long have you been working with your Virtual Assistant

- What are their likes and dislikes?
Asking yourself these questions will make it easier to know exactly what to give to your Virtual Assistant this at any time of year.
Here are a few suggestions to show your love.
Ways to Show Your Virtual Assistant You Value Them
Send A Thank You Note
As old fashioned as it sounds the good old Thank You note or card is always appreciated.
Nowadays we barely get any mail in the post besides bills and junk mail so it would be a pleasant surprise to receive a handwritten thank you note stating how much you enjoy working with them and appreciate the ideas, great suggestions and timely reminders of when and how to get things done.

Send An E-Card
If you’re more tech inclined then why not design a great looking popup email just by using Powerpoint, or Canva? You can create a great range of interactive slides with audio and video and depending on the rapport you have with your VA it can be cute, humorous or however you want it. You could also use or send a ready-made e-card.
Give a Gift
How about a small gift. If you know your virtual assistant really well a small token of appreciation would be acceptable. Something useful, practical that they can have on their desk.
There are some wonderful work from home gifts that are available. Try checking out some of the home office gifts here for ideas.
Send a Gift Card
If you can’t come up with any ideas you could always take the gift voucher route. You can’t go wrong with an Amazon or Etsy gift card or why not find a gift voucher for something you know your VA has a real interest in.
Pay for a Training Course
Another thing you could do is offer to pay for a particular training course that would be beneficial to both of you. One that your VA has a great interest in and would appreciate plus could help to grow your business even more such as project management.
This shows that you are taking the time to know them, develop their abilities to grow and stay with your business and in return, the VA will go above and beyond to provide you with an A1 service and will always be willing to learn new things.
Ask For Their Opinion
From time to time you may come across a new project or have an idea. Sometimes it’s a good idea and good practice to ask for your virtual assistant’s opinion especially after working together for some time.
This encourages good communication, observation plus some great analysis of a situation too. It’s good to get someone else’s take on ideas that you’re thinking about and makes them feel valued in your decision-making process.
Offer a Cash Bonus
The next best thing you can offer as a great incentive is a bonus. A cash reward is always appreciated but don’t dismiss any of the other suggestions above as it shows real thought and kindness.
I hope these few ideas to show some love to your virtual assistant will be introduced to your business. It’s always great to have someone in your corner who is dedicated, hardworking and loyal and by showing your appreciation you’ll develop a life-long working partner and friend.
