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
That completely changed everything about that meme.
Yeah. I didn’t know broken arms guy was on Lemmy now. Happy Valentine’s Day @UrPartnerInCrime and sorry for your loss.
Oh god! That and the coconut guy scarred me for life.
This genuinely made me burst out laughing
Just go back to the store, problem solved!
Your mom gave you Valentine’s Day cards? That’s weird.
You know, I was once a small child that needed my mother’s care. And she enjoyed giving cards for every occasion. So yes I did get some valentines day cards from her.
Sad if true
I don’t get it
You don’t know what cards are?
Me too, maybe money?
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.
Prices for cards are kinda ridiculous. You’re lucky if you can find one for $1 any more. Most are around $4-5.
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
Most of them aren’t even recyclable?
It’s okay because most recycling isn’t really recycled either.
Not me!
I put them in the recycling AND feel guilty that I’m getting rid of the card.
I kept the wedding invitation card from my step brother and my now step sister in law for several years.
It was just a folded piece of regular cardboard with a picture of them and a standard invitation message and I see them once a year, if even that often 😄
I did not realize today was 14th Feb until I saw this
😀
Hallmark hates this one trick.
Wtf millennials, how have we not killed this industry?
I think it’s up to Gen Z.

God damnit they’re going to start making tiktoks into gift cards or some shit.
Brilliant!
