When it comes to courier jobs, the only time of year that can rival Christmas in terms of workload is Valentine’s Day. Couriers all over the country take on the role of Cupid, delivering flowers, cards and love to our nearest and dearest. As you might imagine, the poor folk making these deliveries can get sick of the sight of flowers, chocolates and cupcakes, so this Valentine’s Day, why not give them something a little more exciting to deliver?
Struck by Cupid’s Arrow
We’ve all heard of infamous Cupid and his bow and arrow. But now you can buy one and send it yourself. The solid chrome arrow comes complete with a secret section in the arrowhead, in which you can hide a message to your loved one. Much more exciting to receive than the traditional card in the post, an arrow not only pierces the heart of your loved one, but makes for much more interesting courier jobs. Just be sure that wherever the arrow is getting delivered to, there are no security guards who might confuse Cupid’s arrow for a weapon.
Life is Like a Box of Chocolates
A box of chocolates may seem like a significantly unoriginal idea for a Valentines gift, but a personalised box of chocolates, hand picked for you by your other half is a different matter entirely. Your box of chocolates will consist of a selection of 10 luxury, hand made chocolates, so for once there will be no half eaten discards left in the box. The box itself is personalised with your name, adding a personal touch and making courier jobs a great deal easier to complete; the person making the delivery will know exactly who to deliver to, and can ignore all those that try to lay claim to your chocolates along the way. Be sure to check that all the chocolates are still in the box before you sign for them though!
Do You Love Someone Enough to Give Them Your Last Rolo?
The biggest compliment your other half can pay you is to forgo the last rolo in a packet on your behalf. Now, you can not only give them your last rolo but have a solid sterling silver rolo delivered to them as well. This really is the ultimate romantic gift, and it will warm the cockles of the delivery driver’s heart to see that people still give their last rolo to the one that they love. Put your own hallmark on your gift, having it engraved with your own personal message. This innovative take on a traditional gesture will not only ensure that your relationship makes it to the next valentine’s day, but that whoever’s courier jobs list it appears on has their faith restored in romance, on a day that can often be repetitive and clichéd.
Though it is one of the busiest times of the year for those doing courier jobs, Valentine’s Day can also be one of the most tedious. So when you’re choosing what to have delivered to your significant other, spare a thought for the person delivering, and try to choose a gift that will stand out from the thousands of balloons, bouquets and teddy bears that they will have to deliver on the 14th February.
