Hallmark’s new Valentine’s Day collection hits the shelves

This is what we’ve all been waiting for

What is Valentine’s Day without last-minute Hallmark cards from CVS? This year, Hallmark has outdone themselves with their Valentine’s Day collection. This morning, Hallmark tweeted, “We are excited to announce our new Valentine’s Day collection. This year, we wanted to do something a little different. Groundbreaking. Innovative. Yes, we bring people together, but we can also drive them apart. Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Hallmark’s new Breakup collection!”

Fun Trick Cards

Make Valentine’s Day a blast with Hallmark’s new Trick Cards. A Trick Card looks like a typical Valentine’s Day card on the outside, but the inside holds a fun curveball. Ensure that your special someone is seated before they open their Trick Card. Hallmark’s Trick Cards are perfect for people who love surprises.

Cover — “Happy Valentine’s Day!” inside of a big red heart

Inside — “We need to talk.”

Inside — “I would immediately regret introducing myself.”

Cover — A thousand hearts that spell out “LOVE”

Inside — “We’ll be so cute as friends.”

Cover — The silhouette of a couple watching a sunset with the words, “Here’s to many more Valentine’s Days…”

Inside — “Spent with other people.”

Cover — “They say you never get over true love …” with a drawing of a hundred heart-shaped balloons

Inside — “So we should be fine within a few days.”

Cover — “I can’t wait to see what our futures hold!” with a cloud in the shape of a heart

Inside — “Especially looking forward to being your ex.”

Cover —  “I would do anything for you. I would even…”

Inside — “Let you tell your family it was mutual.”

Cover — “You’re the only one …” in gold cursive on a collage of hearts

Inside — “Holding me back.”

Cover — “If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put ‘U’ and ‘I’ next to each other”

Inside — “So it would be easier to spell, ‘you rUIned my life.’” 

Thoughtful Gifts

This year, Hallmark’s Valentine’s Breakup collection has more than just cards. Treat your valentine to a Hallmark gift that shows you care. If your special someone loves grand gestures, these thoughtful gifts are an excellent choice guaranteed to bring on the tears. 

  • Gift card to Tinder Plus
  • “Single and lovin’ it” bumper sticker
  • Subscription to Match.com
  • A cool t-shirt that says, “Yes, I’m single. You’re gonna have to be amazing to change that”
  • An even cooler shirt for their dog that says, “My human is single”
  • An expensive pen, along with some divorce papers to test it out on

Commitment Cards

Finally, Hallmark’s 2023 Valentine’s Breakup collection offers Commitment Cards. Hallmark was already an expert in making cards that come on too strong. These Commitment Cards were carefully designed to scare people off by moving too fast. These cards are great gifts for that special someone who fears commitment.

  • “Valentine’s Day is about setting ultimatums.”
  • “Time to settle down for good.”
  • “I’m ready to have children.”
  • “Just booked a wedding venue.”
  • “Let’s do it. Let’s buy a house.”

Whether you’ve got a special someone or you’re out there looking for love, Hallmark’s 2023 Valentine’s Day collection has exactly what you need to create an unforgettable memory. Surprise them with a Trick Card, woo them away with a thoughtful gift, or unseal the deal with a Commitment Card. 

Happy Valentine’s Day!
