Valentines Cards

Valentine's Day. That season of love, romance, and more love. For many, Valentine's Day is a mad rush act of booking the perfect restaurant, ordering the perfect arrangement of jaunty roses, and wrapping that perfect, extravagant Valentine gift. While for some, the season of hearts passes by quietly, unceremoniously, just like any other day.
Valentine's Day has often been criticised as just an excuse for consumerism, an opportunity for businesses. Consequently, the well-meaning tradition of sending Valentine cards has also been unfairly stained by cynics everywhere, as if it is Hallmark's fault that people are only sending cards perfunctorily, without thought at all, but just to get over the holiday. Indeed, Valentine's Day is the second largest card-exchanging holiday next to Christmas, making Hallmark the unmistakable industry leader.
Half of the U.S. population celebrates Valentine’s Day by purchasing at least one greeting card, according to Hallmark. And last year, according to an MSNBC report, Americans spent as much as 13.7 billion last Valentine's Day 2006, up 22 percent from just five years ago.
Other Valentine's Day statistics are:
85% of all Valentine cards are bought by women.
73% of flowers are bought by men, and only 27% are by women.
Chocolate and candy sales reach profits of $1,011 billion during Valentines.
These are all good Valentine statistics, of course. It just means people are willing to go through any lengths just to make their loved ones feel special on Valentine's Day, whether that may be in the form of yet another box of chocolates, yet another card in an envelope, or yet another bunch of flowers. After all, it's still the thought that matters.
But Valentine's Day also has its share of not-so-mushy statistics.
Approximately one in four Americans do not celebrate the holiday at all. And 15% of American women (and even men) send flowers to themselves on Valentine's Day.
While the most widely-sent Valentine gifts have always been Valentine's cards, chocolates, flowers, and dinner out, a new line of unlikely Valentine gifts are gaining popularity in the market, especially in the Internet. Not another virtual Valentine card, but what online psychics are offering: psychic readings, horoscopes, numerology reports, and tarot card readings. Certainly, they are not your usual Valentine's Day gifts, and that exactly is the point.
They are insightful, helpful, and for a mere 10$ for instance, for just a ten minute psychic phone call, they are quite priceless. What is more is that they certainly last longer than just chocolates and flowers. People, of course can send flowers and chocolates (and cards too!) alongside a psychic reading for their loved ones.
At the end of the day, however one chooses to celebrate Valentines day, what matters is that people have space in their hearts for love the whole year round.

When you send an ecard, you are not limited to only special occasions, such as a birthday, anniversary or the birth of a child. There are countless ecards available to send, other than your standard Christmas ecards.
There is an infinite number of ecards you can send to friends and family for just about any occasion you can think of. You can send a digital card just to let someone know you are thinking of them or if you come across a funny saying you know they will like. You can choose animated cards and postcards, thank you cards and love notes. If you are not familiar with this method of sending paperless greeting cards, choose any site you wish on the Internet and view the large selection of ecards that are available.
Wedding anniversary cards are available for him and her and for a couple. Ecards play music and help you convey the special message that you want to send. Within this category, you can choose messages for parents, grandparents, a special couple, cards that celebrate milestones in a marriage and if you did forget the anniversary of a special couple, you can send a belated ecard.
You choose the message you want to include, so that you personalize the card in a way that is not possible with the store bought cards. Valentines ecards also offer the opportunity to send your love in a unique and unexpected way.
Send an ecard to your colleagues at work to show that you appreciate all their efforts. If you know someone is having a hard day, you can send a humorous “At Work” card to help lighten their day and give them reason to smile. You can even send an ecard to your boss when the occasion doesn’t call for a formal traditional card. Send congratulations on an achievement, wish someone well in another line of work, or celebrate a retirement. The possibilities are endless in this ecard category.
You might want to just send a card to someone because the graphics are very cute. This could be to a partner, a friend, co-worker or anyone you choose. You will really brighten a person’s day by sending a really cute card that conveys the message that they are in your thoughts.
Celebrate certain days of the year or the beginning of the seasons with an ecard. The Sweetest Day, for example, is October 18. Not many people know this, so you can enlighten them by sending out ecards, which in turn may inspire them to send ecards of their own to their other friends. You don’t have to send one ecard per person. You can have many recipients for the same card. All you have to do is enter the email addresses of those you want to receive this card. “Say ‘Hey’ Day” is October 25. This is the perfect time to send an ecard to a person you haven’t seen or spoken with in a long time. The card is just to say hello.
Dwali is the festival of lights on October 28 and October 30 is Candy Corn Day. Halloween ecards are very popular and the selection of funny and ghoulish ecards available will have you searching for just the right card to send to everyone you know. Send a reminder about the end of Daylight Savings Time on November 2 so that you will remind everyone to set their clocks back one hour – in the time zones that do this of course. Give someone a hug when they are far away on International Hug Day when you send an ecard on December 4.
As you can see there is an ecard available for every day of the year. You can spend many enjoyable hours browsing through the ecards on the many sites finding ones that make you laugh and ones that have inspirational messages included.
