How long should one keep homemade Valentine’s Day cards gifted to them?
Valuing homemade Valentine’s Day cards as important memorabilia is highly recommended. Not only is the card a physical reminder of cherished moments shared with loved ones, but the emotional connection often associated with these items should not be underestimated.
As such, it can be beneficial to keep homemade Valentine’s Day cards for as long as one wishes to.
When deciding how long to store these sentimental keepsakes, an individual must consider when the card was received and its emotional importance.
Keeping such items indefinitely or until they are no longer valuable can also be a valid option, so ultimately the decision falls on whoever receives the gift.
Why are homemade cards better?
Homemade cards can be a more meaningful and thought-provoking way to communicate with the recipient.
Unlike generic store-bought cards, homemade cards require the sender to put in effort and time, both of which are appreciated by receivers.
Additionally, these handmade art pieces allow for greater customization as the sender may decorate them with special images or phrases significant to their relationship with the recipient.
Moreover, homemade cards can stir up profound emotions for both senders and receivers due to personal involvement in each step of the process; from deciding what design works best for conveying their message to carefully cutting the materials to meticulously layering items on top of one another.
Therefore, homemade cards are ultimately better because they exhibit personal investment, allow for great customization potential, and deeply reflect upon the relationship between two people.
