Love is in the air, whether you're ready for it or not.
V-Day is just around the corner and let's be honest with ourselves, there's nothing more romantic than supporting local. It's the love language of modern day Ireland. Whether the love of your life is your fella, your wife, your bestie or even your dog, they all need a card for the day that's in it. Here's a list of some of our favourites from Irish businesses.
Howrad Studios
Bold and colourful with nods to some of our favourite cultural icons, Howrad is a one stop shop for cute and playful cards.

Dublin Card Company
In a similar vein, Dublin Card Company pays homage to moments of Irish cultural excellence (yes, that's exactly how I'd describe the brown sauce sambos from Intermission, thank you very much), with plenty of tongue-in-cheek options for your love this V-Day.
