Whether you’re buying for your partner and want something a little different, or you’re getting ready to celebrate with your BFF, we’ve rounded up the best anti-Valentine’s day cards around.
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and if you’re already sick of all the schmaltz in the shops, we’ve got just the ticket.
The anti-romantic movement is just as big as the Hallmark Holiday itself, with dozens of greeting card creators opting for words that will either win over particularly unsoppy couples or warm the cockles of lonely hearts.
This year we’re seeing some brilliant examples of female empowerment in all the Galentines cards on offer which we are, of course, absolutely loving. From some seriously cool independent artists to nation-wide brands, there’s a whole host of ways to say ‘i love you’ to the women in your life.
