The greeting-card biz just isn’t what it used to be. Not only have the messages, poems, humorous quips and songs grown increasingly lame, but they now cost almost as much as a meal. So if you’re planning to give your special someone a card for Valentine’s Day, why not give them one that you made yourself totally free while loading up on cheap booze and grub? It’s simple: Choose one of Blackheart Letterpress’ unique, handmade V-Day-themed cards, customize it with their moveable vintage wood type then print it right there on the spot using their tabletop Kelsey letterpress. Your DIY card options can be traditional or, well, untraditional—definitely none of that “roses are red, violets are blue” bullshit. Blackheart will also have its selection of books, coasters and prints available for purchase. -Nicole Finkbiner
