Valentine’s Day is approaching, and I know that the holiday isn’t always a popular one. I honestly miss the way we would celebrate as kids by handing out treats and little cards to everyone in our classes, and as someone who adores stationery and snail mail, I used to really love picking out the perfect Valentines and addressing them to everyone in my class. I feel like there is no reason why we shouldn’t still do that as adults — after all, who says that when we grow up, Valentine’s Day should only be about romance?

I’ve tracked down some of the cutest bookish Valentine’s Day notes and cards for both the lovers in your life and the friends as well! There are two sections, so feel free to scroll past the mushy, gushy ones and straight to the cute, sweet, and punny friendship ones toward the bottom. Bonus: Many of these also come as digital downloads, so if you waited until the last minute, you can still purchase, print, and deliver them!

I recommend including these notes with books (of course) or the perfect little treat or beverage to go with reading a great book!

Fairy Tale Valentine ($10): This deluxe card is made with vellum, and the design is carefully laser cut and layered to be a stand-out greeting.

A black, red, and white Valentine of an open book that reads "Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale."

No matter what your relationship status might be, I hope you can feel and spread some love this Valentine’s Day!
