Ever since we were in pre-kindergarten, Valentine's Day has been marked by cards, flowers, chocolate, and—depending on your luck—that One Special Person. But do you know why Valentine's Day is the way it is? Like 'em or loathe 'em, here we explain the holiday's most popular traditions.
An Idaho family that owns a chain of seven Hallmark stores in the state will not carry the company's new line of gay-friendly greeting cards. The cards, which feature images such as figures in tuxedos holding hands and rows of rainbow-colored hearts, contain neutral language inside that could apply to commitment ceremonies, or gay or straight marriage.
Do men forget important dates? Catie Lazarus takes her couch to the street to find out what to do with a forgetful spouse.
In the present day tech-driven world, talking face to face has taken a backseat to emailing, IMing, texting, etc. Saying how you feel is much easier to type than to say. I Want U To Know communication cards are a happy medium. Slightly more personal than an email (which we all know is the wimpy way to bring something up) and the farthest thing from sappy-looking, hand one over when you have something to say, but aren't brave enough to utter the words yourself good or bad.
Is Valentine’s Day just another ploy for Hallmark to stack dollars? Apparently not, since they haven’t covered all bases when it comes to that perfect card. Some of us here at Tango took it upon ourselves to come up with a few V-Day greeting card concepts that we think would sell big. Feel free to toss out that cutesy “Dog with a heart that says ‘I Woof You’” card and use one of ours…
