Still plenty on your business to-do list? Here's a little help before Christmas
There’s something about the run-up to Christmas that makes an already busy diary feel even fuller.
Alongside the everyday work of running your business, you’re thinking about finishing client projects, keeping your social media going and getting organised enough to take a break. Then there’s everything happening at home too.
As a small business owner and mum myself, I know how quickly those weeks can fill up. And how easily the admin jobs you meant to get round to end up coming into January with you.
If a little practical help would make the next few weeks easier, I’ve put together three one-off virtual assistant packages for the festive season.
You’ll find them in The Small Business Community Christmas Gift Guide 2026, with 10% off for readers of the guide.
A Christmas gift guide full of small businesses
I’m delighted that Clockwork Virtual Assistant is featured in this year’s guide, put together by Amanda Hughes and The Small Business Community.
It brings together independent businesses offering gifts, experiences, wellbeing treats and practical support for other business owners. There’s plenty to browse, whether you’re buying for someone else or looking for something useful for yourself.
My three offers are designed for busy small business owners who would appreciate some help with their admin before Christmas or want to feel more organised heading into January.
Christmas Admin Clear-Out: tackle the jobs you keep putting off
Still got admin jobs you keep meaning to get round to?
My Christmas Admin Clear-Out gives you three hours of practical support to tackle some of those outstanding tasks before the festive break.
From social media scheduling and client communications to everyday business admin, we’ll look at what would be most helpful for you. You might have a few smaller jobs waiting for attention or one task that keeps slipping down the list.
We’ll agree your priorities beforehand, then I’ll get to work. You’ll know what’s been completed and whether anything still needs your attention.
It’s a way to give yourself a little more breathing space at a busy time of year.
Regular price: £125. Gift guide price: £112.50.
Inbox Optimisation & Reset: make your emails easier to manage
If you keep opening your inbox, looking at what’s there and deciding to deal with it later, this one might be for you.
My two-hour Inbox Optimisation & Reset helps you organise your emails and put simple systems in place that suit the way you work.
We’ll look at how you use your inbox, what’s getting in the way and how to make incoming messages easier to manage. The aim is to help you feel more confident about finding what you need and knowing what needs a response.
It could be a useful job to tackle before you finish for Christmas, or something to book for a more organised start to January.
Regular price: £95. Gift guide price: £85.50.
Business Admin Power Hour: work through something you’re stuck on
Sometimes there’s one thing slowing you down, and having someone work through it with you would make all the difference.
My Business Admin Power Hour gives you an hour of practical, one-to-one support focused on one admin challenge.
That could be managing your calendar, finding a manageable way to organise your tasks or making better use of a business tool you already have.
We’ll agree the focus beforehand so we can make good use of the session. Afterwards, you’ll receive a short follow-up with clear next steps, so you have something to refer back to.
It’s a useful option if you want to learn, ask questions and get more comfortable with something you use in your business.
Regular price: £65. Gift guide price: £58.50.
Book for yourself or gift some practical support
You’re very welcome to book any of these packages for yourself. You don’t need to wait until your to-do list feels unmanageable to get some help.
They can also be gifted to another small business owner. If that’s what you have in mind, have a chat with them first so we can make sure the support is something they’d welcome and find useful.
I’m based in Ayrshire and provide remote virtual assistant support across the UK, so you don’t need to be local to work with me.
What would make your to-do list a little lighter?
If one of these packages sounds helpful, take a look through the Christmas Gift Guide, then email me at karen@clockworkvirtualassistant.co.uk to enquire about booking.
Mention the gift guide when you get in touch so I know you’re booking through the reader offer.
And while you’re there, have a browse through the other businesses featured. You might find a lovely present, discover a business you hadn’t come across before or get a few more things ticked off your Christmas list.
