Valentines day cards...

[Abermora]

Just looking for one for a newish relationship and omg they are also over the top!

I mean I just wanted a cutesy card to say hugs and kisses and have a nice day...(he's always doing I've things for me and i just thought it would be a nice gesture) but they all seem to be undying love and destiny and utter mush. Looking at most of them thinking 'I couldn't ever see me sending something this full on! Even if we had been together 20 years!'.

Am I being unfair in asking that there are just a few that include things we would actually mean? Like 'Well we've survived this far, heres to another year of not wanting to kill eachother!'.

I finally found one that was acceptable only to open it up and find it had a poem in it about living happily ever after. Fml lol.

Going to have to edit it. Or make my own.
I'm new to this valentines day lark. Can see why people skip it lol.

*all so over the top

We've been together 10 years and have never done Valentine's Day.

Have you looked at Thortful or Moonpig where you can customise your card? They've got 40% off discount code at the minute.

Why not buy a blank card and write your own message? I'm no fan of mushy verses either, so I've done that in the past if I can't find a humorous one I like.

Etsy is your friend here OP!

Have a look on Thortful.

Moonpig has discount, sorry.

Don’t moon pig allow you to do your own? I don’t know though never sent a valentines day card

Where are you looking? I mostly see funny or dirty/funny ones.

Yeah Etsy is good
Maybe notonthehighstreet as well

But I also often think this about Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards. They’re all so over the top.

Have a look at Thortful, everything from mushy to funny to rude to simple.

I should have shopped around more but I wasnt even thinking of it until I passed a stall in the shopping centre today. Moonpig might be a good shout actually!

Definitely get something from Thortful. You can basically get one that says I like you but In a punny way. My husband is getting a digger card.

Remember the pain of this when shopping for a card for DH (then boyfriend) before we had said I love you to each other! Couldn’t find a card not confessing undying love for ages

I got one from Etsy. Not really a Valentine's Day card but has a pic of hobby we share on the front and is blank inside so I can write whatever I want. No poems!

But sure where you are but normally places like Card Factory will have a good variety from mush to rude to loving wishes to your cart, son and the guy you only meet last week

Haha this exactly!

Thortful do really good stuff like this

I've seen some in Tesco that just say "to my Valentine" or similar with blank insides. Maybe the bigger supermarkets have more range. The lessl "lovey dovey" ones tend to be at the bottom of the displays

Sorta tempted to leave it just to have a laugh at his reaction.

Just 'have a lovely valentines day' on the front and then inside '... ... ... well that's escalated quickly!"

pity places like card factory are shut!

yes thortful and moonpig are your best bet

Papier do tasteful and not OTT stuff

Home bargains have one that says very little but has a chocolate heart on it!
