Taken, Single, or Somewhere in Between? Here’s How to Actually Enjoy Valentine’s Day

14 February: More Than Just a Date on the Calendar

This is the day of bold feelings, big gestures, and hearts practically shouting from every shop window. Whether you’re buying a card for your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, or simply for yourself (yes, that counts), Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love in all its forms.

And no, it doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.

Hearts and Roses: The Classics That Never Miss

Let’s start with the icons. Hearts and roses are Valentine’s royalty for a reason. They’re timeless, romantic, and instantly say “I thought about you.”

Beautifully cut fresh red roses for a traditional vibe, or you can mix things up with rose themed candles, gift sets or nightwear in playful designs.  Adding one of our cards with a personalised message will make it feel less “mass-produced romance” and more this is us.

Love and Cupid: Romance With a Wink

Whether you believe in Cupid’s arrow or just enjoy the chaos he causes, Valentine’s Day is all about leaning into love - earnestly or ironically.

Our cards have a flirty energy that keeps things simple and fun. Add cheeky messages with unexpected punchlines to our designs that don’t take themselves too seriously.

Husbands, Girlfriends & Boyfriends

For couples, Valentine’s Day is a chance to pause and say “hey, you still matter a lot to me.”

  • For your wife or husband: Choose cards that speak to commitment, shared memories, and the quiet magic of everyday love.

  • For your girlfriend or boyfriend: Go playful, passionate, or deeply romantic -  you’ll always earn bonus points when you references inside jokes or milestones.

Add flowers, chocolate, or both (always both, if possible) to turn a simple card into a full experience.

Valentine’s Day as a Single: How to Celebrate Like a Pro

Now let’s talk about the most underrated Valentine’s Day energy: being single.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day as a single isn’t sad - it’s freeing. Buy yourself the flowers you like, the chocolate you won’t have to share, and a card that makes you laugh or feel seen. Plan a solo date, a friend hangout, or a full-on self-care night.

You don’t need permission to celebrate love - especially your own.

 

A Love Letter to Being Single on 14 February (Because It’s Actually Elite)

Dear Being Single on 14 February,

You are peaceful. You are powerful. You are wildly underrated.

You don’t argue over restaurant bookings or panic-buy gifts. You don’t settle for last-minute roses or awkward expectations. You wake up on Valentine’s Day owing nothing to anyone - and that freedom? Elite.

Being single on 14 February means loving intentionally, choosing yourself, and knowing that romance doesn’t define your worth. It’s confidence. It’s independence. It’s knowing that love comes in many forms - including the one you give yourself.

And honestly? That’s kind of iconic. 💖
