Nothing Says “I Love You” like a Manhole Cover
For those looking to break from the standard box of chocolates or flowers this Valentines Day, a truly unique gift can be found in the form of Vail’s manhole cover jewelry.
The Town of Vail’s special manhole cover gift items, offered in sterling silver or 14k gold, are for both men and women.
Manhole gifts range in price from $50 for a silver charm to $510 for a gold necklace and can be purchased only in Vail.
Special gifts for men include sterling silver money clips, key rings or even a Vail hitch cover. Men will be delighted to receive manhole cufflinks in sterling silver, bronze or 14k gold. Ladies will treasure a manhole charm bracelet, post or dangle earrings or a gold charm or necklace.
The Town of Vail began selling its manhole covers in 2002 to help thwart thefts of the real ones, which were custom-designed and installed to commemorate Vail’s 40th anniversary.
Manhole jewelry was developed in response for those looking for a slightly more elegant Vail memento. Manhole covers and Manhole cover jewelry is sold by the town as a fund-raiser for the public art program.
Manhole cover gifts are available for purchase at the main reception desk in the Vail Municipal Building from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, at the Vail or LionsHead information centers or by phone, (970) 479-2344. Credit cards are accepted and shipping also available.
