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.

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 😄
Most of them aren't even recyclable?
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.
It's cheap to print cards, and they're very shelf-stable.
This industry will take a long while to realize it's dead, if it dies.
Hallmark hates this one trick.
I did not realize today was 14th Feb until I saw this

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.
I don't get it
Me too, maybe money?
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
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.
You don't know what cards are?
Brilliant!

Sad if true
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.
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.
