Great Valentine's Day Cards

Many of us believe Valentine's Day to be contrived... a holiday invented to get consumers to spend more money... and it is. But, it can also be something else. Whether you're pro V-Day or anti V-Day, it's kind of hard to ignore. Even if you choose to rebel against it by doing nothing, you're still inevitably surrounded and reminded of it by all those who choose to embrace it.

So, as many of us do with other holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc.) why not take Valentine's Day and it's kernel of meaning, reinvent it, and make it your own?

If you have a significant other, show them your love. If you don't, who is to say you can't make it a day to show your love to your family? Or your friends? Your dog? Or YOURSELF! It's also an excellent opportunity for humor!

However you choose to acknowledge (or deny) the day of love, there are plenty of unique and inexpensive ways to get your point across, like the humble greeting card:

There are always some people in your life who really deserve a Valentine's Day nod:

And holidays are always a great reason to hone your DIY skills. Nothing says "i love you" like something you made yourself. Martha Stewart's got tons of impressively pretty hand made card templates:
