Gifts for a guardian angel

Posted on 29. Jun, 2010 by Rob Watson in Careers, Famous People, Male

Police in Switzerland have a recruited an angel to help slow down speeding traffic.

OK, so their angel might only be an actor (I guess real angels are fairly hard to come by). But the Swiss obviously believe an vision of a employee of Heaven might have a positive effect on a speeding driver. Who knows?

You can be sure it’s a pretty unique job though, with some rather unique challenges.

I really hope it works and in true Giftassist fashion, I want to think of the perfect gift to show my appreciation to this Road Angel.

So first thing that springs to mind is, how on earth will he keep those wings looking so good?

Considering he’s going to be standing alongside busy roads that have a high rate of traffic accidents, he really wants to be sure he will be seen.

Since wearing a hi-vis, yellow with reflective stripes jacket, might spoil his angelic appearance, our angel needs to have full confidence in the vibrancy of his whites.

According to the Oxiclean website it “Its super-oxygenated formula bubbles up stains and lifts them away! “. The sides of roads are far from the cleanest of places. I recon this gift could just about be a life saver!

Being a guardian angel must be lonely work. No-one could ever really understand your passion for the job. It’s in times like these that you need to hear about the experiences of people who have been there before.

For those that don’t already know, Highway to Heaven was a slice of 1980s TV greatness, featuring a fallen angel who’s job it was to help people through their trials and tribulations, in an effort to ultimately regain his wings.

I recon this classic TV drama could offer some great advice and support to help our angel in his quest.

It’s a wild guess, but I imagine that this wasn’t the job our angel had in mind whilst he dreamt of becoming an actor.

That being said, acting is far from a steady profession, and it must be hard to turn down any job.

It’s always good to be planning your next career move.

So just in case my assumptions are correct, I think a copy of An actors guide to getting work could be an essential read!
