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

January 25, 2015 in Competitions, Wedding Elements. Written by Kat

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!

While you could use it to buy your beau something fabulous for Valentine’s Day, no-one’s going to judge you if you use this to nab yourself something pretty instead! For your chance to win a £50 voucher to spend on etsy.com, simply comment on this post telling me what you’d buy if you won!

I would probably buy something to keep me warm whilst at the same time not looking too much like a hibernating bear. I’m SO Cold and I need a chunky knit wonder woman Cape that I can wear at home (and to the corner shop, let’s be honest) and feel like warm blood is running through my body again!
sarah fleck January 31, 2015 at 22:54

a big warm cozy jumper
Katt January 31, 2015 at 23:03

I would get my honey something. He’s always getting me pretty things.
Nicky Bethell January 31, 2015 at 23:08

I’m a single lady, so need to swish around in this because I want to and it would make me feel fabulous.
Becky McMahon January 31, 2015 at 23:22

I’d spend hours searching for a perfect wedding day gift for my fiancée for organising our perfect-for-us wedding in Vegas =).
Fiona Thomson January 31, 2015 at 23:22

I’d buy handmade earrings I have my eye on for my bridesmaids but have no money to buy them at the moment!! They are little hand blown glass balls filled with real Scottish white heather….a symbol of good luck and fortune for them to keep and a memory of my Scottish wedding in the hills. But will also look beautiful with their dresses and fit well with the Scottish country flowers and theme of my wedding day should they choose to wear them on the day!
Lucy January 31, 2015 at 23:23

I have a couple of weddings coming up, so it would be great to use towards gifts. Or just buy a basketful of the literature-themed jewellery I keep coveting- in particular there’s a beautiful bird-shaped brooch overlaid with a page from ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ which I keep nearly sneaking into the basket each time I buy something for someone else! We used bird motifs in our wedding décor so it always raises a smile when I wear clothes or jewellery featuring them too 🙂
caroline smith January 31, 2015 at 23:49

I have been collecting mementos, photos and letters that my fiance and I have exchanged since we met. I would buy a beautiful art deco style box to stash them all in and present it to my fiance on our wedding day.
Vicki February 1, 2015 at 00:07

Definitely a knitted hat with a knitted beard attached. And a matching one for my chap 🙂
Chloe Vickers February 1, 2015 at 00:29

I’d put it towards my fab handmade etsy wedding dress – final version yet to be settled on…
georgie pope February 1, 2015 at 01:40

Beth M February 1, 2015 at 01:47

Perhaps a lovely satchel for my darling or a throw to cozy up our home.
Ruth Hedges February 1, 2015 at 01:48

A vintage style dressing gown x
liz Hall February 1, 2015 at 02:59

Powder blue birdcage veil to match my pink n blue flamingo print rockabilly wedding dress. Hell yer.
Paulina Tjernlund February 1, 2015 at 03:39

My guy is not the marrying kind but your site keeps my dreams alive!
To celebrate our 10th year together I would buy him something with robots or Star Wars from Etsy, because he’s the loveliest nerd I know!
Kim Scott February 1, 2015 at 07:06

I would buy some fab decorations I’ve seen for my wedding in September!
Sheila Sloan February 1, 2015 at 07:09

A cosy, woolly sweater to cheer me up in this winter gloom.
Heidi February 1, 2015 at 08:29

I would get a handmade wooden memory game for my sons birthday, we would all love playing with it as a family.
Lucy Holtum February 1, 2015 at 08:41

I’d buy some Star Wars customised shoes 🙂
Morgan February 1, 2015 at 08:43

Rob Walker February 1, 2015 at 08:47

I know exactly what I would buy; coral coloured bow ties and matching braces. This is the themed colour for my groomsman and a I saw these on ETSY yesterday!
Natasha February 1, 2015 at 08:47

A personalised piece of jewellery for my bridesmaid
Rachel Martin February 1, 2015 at 08:57

Ooooooh I would defs spend it all at the super super talented MadHatterArtwork etsy shop. Especially the “boys tears” vintage tea cup
Helen February 1, 2015 at 08:57

After my wedding hair trial yesterday I’d use it to buy something fabulous to go in my hair! If there’s anything left I’d put it towards photobooth props for the DIY tardis ‘photobooth’ that hubby-to-be built for my 30th a couple of years ago and is upgrading for our wedding & wedding party!
Tara February 1, 2015 at 08:58

I’d have to treat myself to as many skull candles as possible, after you posted about them I’m obsessed!!
Amy February 1, 2015 at 09:12

i would spend hours and hours stocking up on things I really shouldn’t be buying but that I must have and own!!

It would probably end in tears as I no doubt would have too much in my basket so would need to whip the credit card out!!!
Natalie Gausden February 1, 2015 at 09:20

I would put it towards a unique gift for each of my best girls. There is so much amazing choice on there!
Amy February 1, 2015 at 09:32

I’ve seen some knickers on Etsy that would make my bum look like a fox’s head so I’d probably go for those. My fiancé and I love foxes (we went through a phase of singing What does the fox say at each other, and dancing stupidly) and I could really do with some cute undergarments for V day, I know he’d totally appreciate it.
Naomi February 1, 2015 at 09:46

I would buy a couple of these. Potentially for bridesmaids… Maybe just for me. Not decided colours yet. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/214118547/a-party-v-charming-dress-prom-party?
Samantha February 1, 2015 at 09:51

I am planning on buying my bridesmaids an infinity knot ring for them to wear on the day and then keep as a symbol of our friendship. The only ones that I’ve seen that I really like are on Etsy, so it would help to spread the ever-increasing wedding costs!
Jessie February 1, 2015 at 10:19

I would buy a Piggie ring.
claire natzinger February 1, 2015 at 10:59

The all you need is love cake topper for our Liverpool themed wedding in September and a few bridesmaid gifts to

Id buy some Disney inspired clothes/jewellery to take to Orlando, Florida with me! 😀
Helen Swales February 1, 2015 at 13:55

If I was the lucky winner I put it towards a gorgeous gift for my granddaughter, something like this would be perfect. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/151249138/personalised-bridesmaid-flower-girl-maid?ref=sr_gallery_8&ga_search_query=flower+girl&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery
Keri Smallwood February 1, 2015 at 14:12

I’ve been on the hunt for a non traditional wedding dress for a long time! I would use the voucher towards something one off but that I could wear again! 🙂
jimena February 1, 2015 at 14:28

i will buy some beautiful skull candles i already saw on etsy to put them all around the bath tube and have a romantic bath with my babe!
Kimberley Alex February 1, 2015 at 14:56

I’d treat myself to some handmade candles x
laura guy February 1, 2015 at 15:19

I’d buy a big glittery fake stag head to hang on our bedroom wall. Etsy is full of them and I’ve lusted after one ever since we bought our house but can never quite justify the cost.
LINDA BUNNING February 1, 2015 at 15:42

I would buy something new and lovely to dress my bed.
mel crumpton February 1, 2015 at 16:00

Samantha Sugden February 1, 2015 at 16:07

Karen Simpson February 1, 2015 at 16:10

Some lovely warm gloves to help me when clearing all the snow we have.
Becky John February 1, 2015 at 16:16

Is my daughter’s 18th soon so would buy her some vintage jewellery 🙂
Mary Cieslewicz February 1, 2015 at 16:17

A big chunky jumper to keep me warm
Jacqueline Roberts February 1, 2015 at 16:52
