Valentine's Day stalker card photo

Sorry to be the wet blanket, everyone. But Valentine’s Day cards that joke about stalkers? Not really funny. There’s a bunch of stalker cards like this one for sale on Zazzle.com, including a particularly disturbing one that says “Be Mine” spelled out in blood above a heart made out of a razor blade. I have a pretty irreverent sense of humor, but I don’t see any humor in joking about violence. Stalking is creepy and scary to people who actually live through it. There’s better ways to be funny if you want to fly your freak flag this Valentine’s Day. [Zazzle.com]

I love you more than HazMat protective suits. More than smoking meth with my buddies in my parent’s abandoned house. More than even Skylar loves money laundering through the car wash. Yes, my love for you is breaking bad. That’s why I hope you’ll accept this “Breaking Bad” V-Day card. We’ve got crazy chemistry, bitch. [Butthorn]

Jessica WakemanFebruary 10, 2011 //

These days, if you give a Valentine’s Day card that says something like, “I won’t let you go until you say yes, kid,” you’re bound to get tasered. But in simpler times, creepy Valentine’s Day cards like the one above weren’t considered rape-y — they were sweet. Can you imagine that? Although I guess I shouldn’t be bitching because I’m not getting any Valentines this year. [Funny Or Die] Keep reading »

Life is full of moments when you just don’t know what to say. Like when a friend loses her job (or gets one), ages another year, or saves your ass at a work meeting. In these and plenty of other instances, an email saying, “Happy birthday!” or “You rock!!!!” doesn’t cut it, no matter how many exclamation marks you use. If you’re a good person, you’ll send a witty note from TweeCards. We’re pretty sure clever is the new thoughtful. [$3.50 each, TweeCards.com]

This is the first Valentine’s Day my beloved and I will spend together and I want to make him something COOL. I found these homemade easy-sew cards at The Purl Bee. Even if you can barely thread a needle, you could make these sweetie pie notes—the genius is that even if you totally mess up, it will just look sloppily cute.

If you are just plain allergic to needle and thread, you can buy these insanely cute iron-on animal love patches from Etsy, and press them on your homemade card. For the more daring, instructions for the cute-as-hell cards after the jump…. Keep reading »

I forgot my best friend’s birthday two years in a row once. I felt absolutely awful about it and resolved never to overlook it again. So far I’ve been good about remembering her birthday, but I forgot to bring a card to another friend’s wedding. It’s hard to stay on top of all the sentiments we have to send our friends and family, but it’s all about being prepared. Pick up one of these gift card sets, and you’ll be as ready for anything as MacGyver. Above: Emergency Box of Cards, $12 for eight cards, BobsYourUncle.com
