Say it with a card

Category Contests

Valentine’s Day is coming, and you’re probably going to need a card or two. But, you know, not the same old thing you always do. Did you know that Hallmark makes these great cards where you can record your own message? These are particularly fun when you have little kids, because nothing says “I love you” like a recording that says: “What was I supposed to say…?”

These cards are available at all your local Hallmark Crown stores, and cost about $6 apiece. Or you could win some from me.

Two lucky Want Not readers are going to each win three of these recordable cards. Want to win some? First review the official contest rules and regulations and then leave a comment on this post before 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 Pacific) on Sunday, February 1st, 2009 to enter for a chance to win. Winners to be determined by random number generation and Cupid’s arrows. Ow.

Ready? Go!
