Whether you go for cute or romantic, Helen Wilson-Beevers chooses some personalised Valentine cards from Moonpig
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, with 14 February landing on a Tuesday this year. Whether you’re into buying romantic gifts or treating someone special to a unique present they’ll love, here at IndyBest, our expert shopping team has got lots of options covered.
Our Valentine’s Day gift-buying ideas include everything from letterbox flowers, wine, chocolates and food hampers to tech, fashion, home and beauty bits. You might be looking to shop scented candles for enjoying a romantic dinner, perusing posh lingerie, thinking about some new perfume, or want to give your loved one a thoughtful book.
This annual event isn’t just about romantic love, though, and it can be a perfect opportunity to celebrate with friends. Galentine’s Day has become a popular event in recent years – falling on 13 February, it is dedicated to embracing your gal pals. However, we see Valentine’s Day as an excuse for self-gifting and spoiling yourself, too.
Whatever this day means to you – whether you plump for presents or want to play secret admirer and send a love letter – there are plenty of Valentine’s Day cards to choose from. Even if you’re not fussed about splashing out on a gift, we’ve found fun, cute and romantic cards to buy.
Plus, if you’re snapping them up at Moonpig, there’s no need to find a stamp or time to pop to the post office. Ordering a Valentine’s Day card from the comfort of your own home sounds pretty appealing to us. And you can add in your own handwriting with the iOS app, too. Keep scrolling to see the Moonpig Valentine’s Day cards we’ve got heart eyes for.
All the featured cards are available from Moonpig.com. ‘We don’t need anyone to buy us flowers’ card, from 99p
