Would I be able to get a valentine's day card today

I meant to get a card before now but I was so busy. If I was to go into the city today would I be able to get a card or would they be removed from shelves?

You might need to get out the felt tip pens and have a Blue Peter style burst of inspiration.
The card shops have probably changed their displays to Mother's Day by now

Isn't it a bit late now? If not, you can get a nice blank card and write your own message.

SausageRoll2020 · 15/02/2025 13:44

Chocolates should be half price though 😂

And red roses probably very cheap!

Good question, I’m not sure. But i think go in and see because even if no specific cards, there will still be blank cards with pics of hearts and flowers, two bears cuddling etc.

Ask in any shop.
Bet they have just stored them away.

AnSolas · 15/02/2025 13:46

You will
Just ask the shop assisstant to please please save your life and pull out the unsold ones from storage.

Nope some american (i think) can up with the anti-valentines day where you send dead ugly withered roses to an ex or enemy🤷‍♀️

I suspect it was a florist looking for a niche market😂

Ooh, where has half price chocs?

I'm going into town later, where should I head?

I saw roses (flowers) reduced from £25 to £11.50 today in a Co-op.

PullTheBricksDown · 15/02/2025 13:55

I would try the kind of places where people do last minute shopping. Petrol stations mini mart, suburban late hours Tesco or Co op or whatever. They're most likely to have cards still out, or discounted 😄

gingercat02 · 15/02/2025 13:56

M&S were taking their's down at lunchtime yesterday to replace them with mothers day cards, mad!

teraculum29 · 15/02/2025 13:57

I was in Aldi today, they still had plenty valentine cards, all reduced.

purplecorkheart · 15/02/2025 13:57

Just ask in any card shop. Often, these cards are stored in drawers under the displays so may be easily at hand.

TokyoSushi · 15/02/2025 14:19

Probably if you asked, all flowers half price in Asda today

StampOnTheGround · 15/02/2025 14:23

They had loads still out in tesco about an hour ago!

Kickingasssince72 · 15/02/2025 14:27

My local post office had a whole rack still. Maybe corner shops as opposed to supermarkets?

Greenstag · 15/02/2025 17:41

Thank you so much for all the replies. They were hilarious especially the replies that said chocolates and flowers are likely half price today. That was so funny.

I made it into the city and I got two valentine's day cards. I couldn't decide between two lovely cards. So I will give one away and spare the other one for next year 😂.
