Maybe give some free advice about: Gift Giving?
Your heart is in the right place but your finances aren't. You have done what you could in applying for jobs. You could still land one as it does take time.
Unless you handed your resume to a manager or key person where you applied it's best to go back and follow-up. They may get lots and employees usually never forward stuff to managers anyway. Walk in and ask for the manager/owner of where you have applied and introduce yourself.
Tell them you put in a resume and wanted to follow up because you really wanted to work there. That kind of thing can sometimes get you hired on the spot. Don't be afraid to do that.
Where exactly are you focusing your search? If I were you I would try your local movie theater and walk in and talk to a manager about employment. They typically have a revolving door with staff because most are teens giving up summer jobs and need replacement box-office, concession and floor staff. Pretty easy to land a job with them. Also fast-food places always need workers.
I don't want to dash your hopes but getting to $299.00 may be hard to accomplish as right now you only have $10 As much as you love your boyfriend and want to pull this off you have to realize he'll love anything you do and wouldn't want you going broke over a gift.
Another thing you can do is consult your parents. If you have been with his guy forever and it's a solid relationship tell your parents that if they're getting a Christmas gift for him you know he's interested in the I-Phone and see if they will put money in with yours to get him that gift from all of you.
I've also got to tell you that getting an Iphone 4 isn't a good idea. For one thing the Iphone 4 is now obsolete with the Iphone 5 being the one to have and the Iphone 4S being the most recent and best one until the 5 came out last week.
An Iphone 4 shouldn't be bought at this point as it lacks the power and features of the 4S and the new I Phone 5. It shouldn't cost $299. I guess you meant the 4S model at $299.00
Even so WAIT. If you are going for the 4S wait until November or early December because the price you have to pay for one now is going to drop substantially as retailers focus solely on selling as many of them off as they can so they can then focus on selling only the I phone 5. Talk to your parents and do more research into phone contracts and deals for this.
