- Choose a card design to suit them, whether they're a dog lover, a cat lover, or love traditional Valentine's cards.
- Keep it personal: include a nickname, memory, joke, or something they can relate to.
- Don’t overthink it: a short and simple valentine message is often the most meaningful.
- If you really can't choose what to write, include a poem.
- Handwriting over printed text makes it much more personal.
- Add finishing touches: pressed flowers, confetti hearts or stickers.
- Choose a slightly textured cream card for a luxurious feel, with an equally good quality envelope.
- Consider including a small present, such as a tea towel or tiny keepsake, with beautifully matching gift wrap.
- A thoughtful envelope seal (wax or sticker) makes opening the card feel like a present.
