Valentines day cards...

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.

For your excitement, your crankiness is forgiven.

*all so over the top
One I read a while back a long married couple kept the same card they began for each other and added a new message for that year. We did begin this but 4 house moves in 3 years and we lost them

Have a look on Papier. Lots of lovely, non-mushy cards.

JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority · 08/02/2021 19:31

awww..didn't mean to be cranky-soz
am just SICK of everything being shut

Oysterbabe · 08/02/2021 19:32

I got mine at Thortful too.

EssentialHummus · 08/02/2021 19:32

Just adding a vote for Thortful. Though this year DH is getting a postcard of a Rottweiler, since I want one and he won’t agree. This way a lovely Rottie will stay on the mantelpiece for a month Grin.

Scottishskifun · 08/02/2021 19:34

I got DH a brilliant cheese related valentines card from moon pig (he loves cheese also ordered 2 cheeses in heart shapes from elsewhere Grin)
They have a great selection.

Thefaceofboe · 08/02/2021 19:55

Thortful do good ones or look on Etsy.

SleepingStandingUp · 08/02/2021 20:10

@Meowtha

We've been together 10 years and have never done Valentine's Day.
Cool. Well done you. I’m sure this has helped the OP greatly.
Ruddyfedup · 08/02/2021 20:38

Banter cards, theyre bloody Brilliant. And mostly rude

AccidentallyOnPurpose · 08/02/2021 20:42

Ebay. Just add funny to it.

We've been together 15 and mark Valentine's Day every year.

Neither of these replies help the OP though

AccidentallyOnPurpose · 08/02/2021 20:44

You get the idea..

mnahmnah · 08/02/2021 20:44

Another vote for Thortful

AuntieMarys · 08/02/2021 20:51

Thortful or Redbubble

YorkshireGirl35 · 08/02/2021 21:48

Etsy or something funny/rude like Love Layla

Horsemad · 08/02/2021 22:13

I found a cute one in Asda that said 'you make my heart smile', which is nice without being too OTT I think. 🙂

MissyB1 · 08/02/2021 22:17

I got one from Thortful. It’s a pencil drawing of Fleetwood Mac singing and says “I want to be with you everywhere”
Perfect for Dh.

RedRec · 08/02/2021 22:27

Agree that Thortful very good. Got two from there today (for the same person) - one loving, one filthy!

mnahmnah · 09/02/2021 09:25

@MissyB1

I walked down the aisle to that song. Perfect! Thanks for alerting me to it!

KatyClaire · 09/02/2021 09:29

Try papier - the designs are cute and you can customise the message inside
