iphone valentine’s day card: will you hold my hand(held)?

If you haven’t already bought a Valentine’s card for your sweetie, you’re probably screwed. But if you’re looking for an idea for next V-Day, check out this amusing iPhone inspired greeting card.

Crafter yummypocket created this clever Valentine designed to look vaguely like an actual iPhone. It measures roughly the size of the real deal, and is made from black foam, blue card stock and grey vinyl.

While the only app it runs is “I love you”, it’s also a whole lot cheaper than a real iPhone. Want to stock up for next year? Head on over to yummypocket’s Etsy shop and place your order now.

[Memo to tech geeks: If you get one of these for your girlfriend and she's not a gadget-o-phile, it might send the message that you love your tech toys more than her. Caveat Emptor.]

clamshell ibook greeting cards say happy birthday from mac to you

Remember the old clamshell Apple iBook laptop? Well even if you don’t I still think these iBook greeting cards are cool.

Handmade by Etsy paper artist Cadiz Cards, the iCard comes in sets of three, including classic blueberry, indigo and key lime iBooks, each one with a tiny screen that comes blank for you to fill in your own greeting, and a miniature keyboard that is way too small for my fat fingers.

Custom colors are also available if you’re longing for a tangerine or graphite iBook/iCard. You can grab a set over at Cadiz Cards’ Etsy shop for $12 bucks.

happy v-day: love you more than xbox

If your significant other is starting to suspect you may care more about Master Chief and Major Nelson’s Twitter, it might be time to offer tangible (and hilarious) proof to the contrary. Especially with Valentine’s Day coming up and all.

This card tells it like it is (or like you want ‘em to believe) with a simple message: I love you more than Xbox. It doesn’t get more straightforward than that, and it might just buy you a Saturday night of Left 4 Dead campaigning. Maybe pick up a few and save them for those moments when you just aren’t quite ready to stop playing and wash the dishes.

And, hey, if you want to vary the message (you can probably get “I love you more than Halo” or “I love you more than Rock Band”), Storeyshop’s Etsy marketplace offers personalized greeting cards. Whatever you need to get yourself out of the doghouse, buddy.
