    This is funny until someone you love dies and the pile of cards they gave you throughout your life is one of the things that makes you feel closest to them.

    Miss you Mom

    Cards are the biggest waste of money. Any time I get one in the mail, I’ll read it and it goes straight to the recycling.

    Hallmark hates this one trick.

    The only cards that are worth something to me are the ones with personal messages in them. If it’s just your signature, it’s going in the trash tomorrow.

      I buy the bulk pack of general purpose gift cards. Some have got flowers on the front. Others say Happy Birthday in gender neutral styling. They’re all blank on the inside. I write messages to people. The pack of 20 cards costs about the same as two of those shitty pre-written gift cards.

      See, I’m the same. I don’t even get anyone cards.

      However, I did get a duck card for Christmas, and I have tapered it to my wall.

    That’s a great idea!

    Go to the flower shop with your wife and I give her the flowers and I get a hug. Then she puts the flowers back and we go home. Such an awesome idea!

    I gotta ask my wife. Is yours available? Oh my wife said no. But I’m sure someone will do it!

    This post gave me the idea to idea to text the wife. As a millenial. I’m doing my part.

        Prices for cards are kinda ridiculous. You’re lucky if you can find one for $1 any more. Most are around $4-5.

          Idk about valentine day but for everyother x-day, I (used to) always-just make a card myself, it’s not hard tbh and really I think a homemade card might should be appreciated more

          You can print your own at home for like a nickel. They have designs all over the Internet.

          Which I do for the very old people in my life who still like cards. Everyone else gets a text, time spent together, or nothing.

        Some people don’t attach value or sentimentality to $5 valentine’s day cards and would rather just spend time with their partner and spending time picking out a good card for each other can be fun. I personally like the funny ones so it can be fun to pick those out, show them to your partner, have a laugh together, and then put them back. The card brings the same amount of joy, but you don’t have to spend money or throw it away later.
