Without a card, you run the risk of your Valentine's Day gift being a little less meaningful. Sure, flowers, chocolates and other thoughtful gifts are always lovely (check out our list of handmade Valentine's Day gifts that you can buy on Etsy), but the sentiment behind the gift may be lost without a card. Even if you don't plan on giving an actual gift to your loved one on Valentine's Day, you can say a lot with a simple greeting card. A card allows you to express your affection for someone—whether it's in your own words, someone else's or both.

Etsy has a large collection of Valentine's Day cards—almost ‌too‌ large, which is why we're helping out by narrowing them down for you. Since the greeting cards on Etsy are made by small business owners, you can be sure that the cards are unique, special and way different than what you'd find in any Valentine's Day card aisle at your local store.

Just like with all greeting cards, there are lots of different designs and messages to choose from. Etsy offers several custom cards that allow you to add a photo or have one digitally designed, as well as regular ol' greeting cards. Whether you want to give a cute card to your child, a romantic one to your significant other, a funny one to your best friend, or a sentimental card to all of the above, we found some excellent options on Etsy and added them to our list, which you can find below. One or two of them are borderline NSFW, but it's Valentine's Day, so that's to be expected, right?
