by Leah Carton

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and there are plenty of ways to send something special to the ones you love and care about come Feb. 14. From emailed cards to downloadable Valentine's Day cards, there's affordable options for the holiday greetings.

Although you may think store-bought cards are your only option for the festival of love, it's not. You can skip the store lines and print out your own Valentine's Day cards from the comfort of your own home, saving you time and money.

Exchanging Valentine's Day cards is a longtime popular tradition. According to History.com, approximately 150 million Valentine's Day cards are exchanged each year, making the holiday the second most popular card-sending holiday after Christmas. History further noted that approximately 85 percent of valentines are purchased by women.

Browsing online for season greetings can also help you get the best bang for your buck. You can even find some unique card designs online that differ from the ones in the stores that everyone shops at. Printable cards also help last-minute moms who don't want to scavenge the card aisle the day before Valentine's Day.
