Romantic Gifts Under $40 |
| LOOKING FOR A JOB Submitted by: Travis Tapley
For Valentine's Day I took and typed up a cover
letter and resume applying for the position of Valentine for my wife.
I made it look real "official" and professional. I then
placed it inside a 8 1/2" x 11" clasp envelope. I addressed
it to "Valentine Department" ATTN: my wife's name and mailed
from our local post office so she would receive it on Feb. 14th.
The resume contained what I felt to be all of my
qualities for the position. When she got it she loved it and all it
cost, was .50cents for the envelope and maybe 5 cents for the paper to
print it on.
But that was not all I did. I also took and bought
a bag of craft sticks at one of the dollar stores along with a small
two inch by about three inch heart that said "I love you" on
it. I found a small wooden dowel and bought a tube of super glue and
made a small wooden cage using the craft sticks.
Before adding the final side to my cage, I glued
the heart to a piece of the dowel and attached it to the top of the
cage where the heart would hang about in the middle. After adding my
final side, I made a note, hole punched it and attached it to the
outside of the cage with a piece of rattan. The note read: "This
simple cage of wood is only symbolic, because nothing could ever
capture my heart as easily as you did fourteen years ago. Happy
Valentine's Day."
Another gift that cost me maybe five dollars and
she loved it also because it came from the heart and I took the time
to make it, not run out and buy it!
