Emails may do the trick for most things but for Valentine's Day you are going to need a card. We've swooned over the gorgeous stationery of Mrs. John L. Strong before. No drugstore cheapie card here, these cards have the weight and texture that denote their high quality. There is just a subtle appeal of fine paper as it slides under your fingertips. And paper like this is ideal for writing with a fountain pen, which has the bonus of putting you in that slightly nostalgic and old-fashioned mood which is perfect for committing flowery declarations of love to paper. The card shown here says Sugar or Spice? and then on the inside "both are nice. Happy Valentine's Day. It sells for $15. They have a variety of boutiques for your browsing pleasure. Choose you card then light a Diptyque Tubereuse candle, fill up your Montblanc, pour yourself a glass of a fine White Burgundy (no risking sense risking red wine spills when writing on white paper) and let the love flow.
