Quite a few of you said you had ordered TAG cards. Anybody used them yet?
I finally recieved mine, took a little longer to get here to Canada. I have 4 in my wallet for sudden urges/inspiration when it strikes. The 5th one I used.
I like in a 3 story triplex and on the top floor there is a wonderful older couple. They are super friendly, have gone out of their way to welcome difficult child into the building. When I am not feeling well, can't walk etc they take all of the garbage out on garbage day and refuse to let me help or do it. They ask me how I'm feeling when I see them, they always have time for my hyper dog, etc.
They both work and the wife works outside even in bad weather. I noticed that because she is in the elements often that she sort of just throws her hair up, puts on a hat (it's finally winter here!) and bundels up for warmth instead of fashion sense. In the summer months she pays more attention to these things. I did notice a few mornings that she seemed down about her bundled up appearance etc.
So I stuck a envelope with a TAG card in her mailbox with a gift certificate to a nearby salon for a wash/cut/style. I put a typed note with it saying that she is recognized for working so hard for her community in her job and enjoy a couple of hours of pampering because she earned it.
I can't wait to see her without her hat one day to see if/when she uses it because I'll know she indeed had some pampering. I did notice the next morning she was extra perky so I'm hoping it made her day.
I am not very imaginative so I'm having a hard time coming up with other uses for the TAG cards, not to mention I purchased the certificate for the hair thing at a charity auction so got a great deal but in general I can't afford bigger things like that to do. So looking for less expensive things but I want the meaning to stay strong anyhow, and it isn't about money, it's about someone knowing they are thought about.
So anyone else use a TAG yet? What did you do? Any ideas to share?
