Message in a Bottle

Remember when I was all like, "I don't like anything romantic for Valentine's Day! I only want things that are funny and witty, and maybe even borderline offensive!"? Well, scratch that. If M were to give me a card I would not only die of shock, but would prefer cheeky to mushy.

However, if he's reading this (he isn't--he doesn't follow le blog) and he DID want to splash out on the romance I think these Message in a Bottles (from Miniature Rhino) would be the perfect way to do it.

Why, you ask? Well...

1. I love getting real mail.

2. They're not your typical cheesetastic Hallmark cards.

3. The message can be totally personalized.

4. Really, they're just adorable.

Aaaand they would work for any occasion.

Your personal message gets hand-transferred by typewriter onto vintage book paper then sealed with red wax and put into the glass vial you see above. Your glass bottle gets decorated with a tiny, monogram-stamped key tied on with twine.

I'd love to unwrap this on Valentine's Day--or any day!

And if the message inside was funny, cheeky and/or witty all the better.

So what do you think?

Message in a Bottle - yay or nay?

Dating, married or single I hope

you have a wonderful day today!

Funny & Cheeky Valentine's Day Cards

{I Effin Love You Card by Crab Apple Design}

So, here's the deal.

I like Valentine's Day.

Gifts, chocolates, wine.

What's not to like?

{All That and a Bag of Chips Card by Creativity Cards}

That said, M and I are not really mushy romantics.

And M is definitely a man of, shall we say, FEW words.

We're not the type to give each other heartfelt cards..

A funny/witty/cheeky card on the other hand?

I am ALL over that.

...kinda like how butter loves toast...

{Fuzzy Grapefruit}

Some other funny cards that are right up my alley:

{Uncooked}

I think this card appeals to me because of the dog

rocking out on the tambourine--in a tutu.

{You Rock My World Card by Betty Bits}

For taking that new relationship to the next level...

{A Confession Card by Navy Blue Notes}



{Uncooked}



Which, let me tell you, is a hell of a lot.

{Lovely Little Nest}

If your relationship is of the Ronnie and Sammi variety

this Love is a Battlefield card would do nicely.

{Apocalyptic Valentine's Day Card by Surly Ben}

{Uncooked}

I like the ostriches.

{You're Really Good at Kissing Card by Shira Leuchter}

I don't think this is strictly true in my case...

{Crazy Love II Card by Up Up Creative}

{Uncooked}

{Yo Girl Tiger Card by Wild Little Goose}

For the single gals -- they should get Valentine's Day love too!

{Creativity Cards}

I think this (or the first) may be the winner for me...

So tell me, what do you prefer?

Funny or romantic?

Happy Monday!
