With Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's time to start thinking up what you're going to give to your sweetheart.
The best place to start is with a heartfelt card. A card with a sweet message written inside can mean so much more than fancy jewels or a big grand gesture.
Vintage cards can be cute, but some of them are downright strange. I would be shocked to find out that the more bizarre Valentine's Day cards below worked out for the person that gifted them to a sweetheart — I'd rather just stick to the sweet ones.
These 12 cards are all cute at first glance, though if you look a little harder at some of them, you'll see where the sentiments went a little sour. It's all right, though, because they're still good for a laugh and a smile!
Would you ever give any of these cards to the one you love, or to someone whose heart you're trying to win over?
Do these vintage valentines bring you back at all?
Please SHARE with your family and friends on Facebook just in time for Valentine's Day!

1. "A Valentine For My Teacher"
This is cute, but it seems like an awful lot of hearts to be giving to a teacher!
2. "Like Goosey-Goosey Gander, I Love To Wander, Too..."
"…With a basket full of love – ALL of it for YOU."
This one's as silly as a silly goose.
3. "You'd Make A 'Doggoned' Nice Valentine"
If this pooch doesn't convince you to be their valentine, I don't know what will.
4. "Who, Me? Sure I'll Be Your Valentine!"
What an earnest look on this little valentine's face!
5. "Thought I'd Use The Air Line To Send You My Valentine"
This card from the 1920s is cute in a very strange way. At least he comes bearing letters of love!
6. "I'll Be Angry If You Wont Be Mine!"
No pressure or anything! Sheesh.
7. "Maybe I'm Just 'Small Fry'"
"But I'm a 'good egg' with a 'heart of gold.'"
This one's kinda cute until you realize that they're in a searing-hot cast-iron skillet. Ouch!
8. "Shell I Count On You For My Valentine"
I don't know that I'd want a valentine who's half man and half gelatinous shellfish sea creature. Maybe that's just me, though. To each their own!
9. "What A Match We'd Make, Valentine!"
This is cute until you realize how a match is lit, and that these little lovers are destined for a very tragic end.
10. "Cupid's Bringing My Heart And My Kind Wishes, Too!"
"Now it's all right with me — is it all right with YOU?"
I wish Cupid delivered all of the mail. I feel like it would be a much cheerier world to live in!
11. "I'm A Clown As You See"
"But I'm bound your Valentine to be."
Angry clowns and Valentine's Day simply don't mix. As a matter of fact, angry clowns shouldn't mix with much at all, other than horror films.
12. "No Ball And Chain For Me"
"But I do want you for my Valentine."
These are just some seriously mixed signals. Either you do or you don't, pal!
