Let’s stick together!
Did you know that exchanging hand-made cards to express one’s feelings started around the 18th century?
Giving cards for Valentine’s Day started with handwritten notes between friends and lovers. Throughout the time, and with the improvements of technology, these notes evolved into mass-produced printed cards. But stepping into buying cards instead of elaborating them has its downsides: It might be seen as a commercialized gesture instead of a heartfelt one.
