You don't know what cards are?

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

You can print your own at home for like a nickel. They have designs all over the Internet.

Which I do for the very old people in my life who still like cards. Everyone else gets a text, time spent together, or nothing.

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.
