It's time to sound the Valentine's Day klaxon.

While you may express your love to your significant other every day, we think celebrating Valentine's Day provides a little extra joy, especially as this year it falls on a weekend and we're all still in lockdown.

Without sounding like a broken record, this year's celebrations will be a little less of an occasion than usual.

While some couples will be bubbled up and spending it together others will inevitably be spending it apart. Regardless of your location, if you're looking for date night ideas, there are plenty of ways to celebrate at home.

If you're the type of couple who mark the occasion with gifts, no matter how big or small, there's a host of inspiration out there too, whether that's in the form of flowersjewellery or a beauty product you know they'll love.

But, perhaps you'd rather express your appreciation with a simple card. And what better way to make light of a rather dreary start to the year than with a message that will bring a smile to their face?

That's why we've been on a hunt for the funny Valentine’s Day cards that will add a sense of cheer. From the Bridgerton-inspired cards to the weird and wonderful, there's something for everyone here.
