12 Valentine’s Cards That Won’t Make You Want to Vom… & Win £50 to Spend on Etsy!

Don’t get me wrong, love is a wonderfully glorious thing, but the forced “We’re so in lurrrve, let’s spend lots of money on overpriced bouquets and go to a packed restaurant with everyone else that’s also in lurrrrrve” attitude around Valentine’s Day isn’t really my bag.

Gareth and I are much more likely to stay in with a takeaway than go out to a fancy restaurant, and while he buys me ‘just because’ flowers all the time, I don’t think he’s ever bought me some on V-day. He likes to be unpredictable and I think that’s way more romantic anyway.

In saying that, it is nice to give a nod of “I think you’re the best” to your other half on Valentine’s, but doing so doesn’t have to make you cringe. So I went on a hunt for the most non-butt clenching cards and prints I could find… Oh and one set of marshmallows, because who wouldn’t want to get custom marshmallows as a gift?!

I’ve also partnered with Etsy on this post to give someone a £50 voucher to spend on their website! Just scroll down to the end to find out how to enter.

I was going to write you a poem…

Gold foil heart

Let’s make out

I like you practice making babies with you

A day without your love, is like a year without wifi

Awkward dating card

You’re My Fave/OMG So Fit Marshmallows

My life would suck without you

I think you’re nice

You are so freaking awesome

You’re the cookie to my milk…

Let’s be totally awkward together

Win £50 to spend on Etsy!

It’s my mum’s 60th coming up and she’s already the hardest woman in the world to buy for, so I would have a look for something unique and special for her, maybe a piece of handmade jewellery.

I have seen these really cool pea pod necklaces that are on etsy. it’s a choice of different coloured peas and numbers so i would pick 3 blue peas for me but i would also buy my sister one she would need 5 pink peas in hers

YOLANDA DAVIS February 5, 2015 at 19:50

These cards sound great. Whenever I need to buy one I get so annoyed, cos all the messages inside are mushy lovey dovey stuff that just isn’t me; I think they are embarassing. These would suit me down to the ground.
