The Best in Valentine's Humour

I was going to write a post about how I really don't understand why people hate on Valentine's day, but I realised that it would probably just end up being me chatting about how much I like having an excuse to eat chocolate... and just any kind of food in general (because what else do couples on on Valentine's Day, am I right?).

But actually, the thing I love the most about February 14th is being able to buy a hilarious greetings card. I know some people prefer to be super serious and hella soppy when picking their cards but that's not my scene; give me all the cheesy (and borderline inappropriate) puns.

1. I love you even when I'm hungry from DoodleLove

2. Hayfever from Paper Planes

3. I dig you from Amy Beth Designs

4. Madly into bed from Paperchase

5. Let's Bone from Newton And the Apple

6. I fancy the pants off you from Bombus

7. Wanna French? from The Dandy Lion Designs

8. Get your Goat from Word Play Designs

9. Fan of your face from Philly + Brit

Or if you're feeling fancy, anything with 'Netflix & chill' on it will work too. #Yolo.

There's something super exciting about turning twenty-one, it's widely seen as a 'milestone' year (and is, coincidentally, the age my sister has turned for the last four years). It could be down to the subconscious knowledge that you can now rent a car in Europe and legally drink alcohol in America, but who can be sure. It's an exciting time for everyone. So long as you don't dwell on the fact that there's absolutely no going back and a crippling mortgage and unachievable student loan repayments are right on the horizon!

When it comes to your friends, you want to give them something fun, memorable and that totally sums up your friendship. And that doesn't break the bank. Your beloved new twenty-one year old deserves the world and more, and obviously, a great night out and lots of unattractive selfies surfacing on Facebook the morning after. But to get the party started, why not try some of these fancy finds, all for under £20 - and not a gift card in sight!

Happy twenty-one-ing!
