VALENTINE'S Day is on the horizon, and if you've not picked up on the hints by now—she definitely wants a card.

Love it or loathe it, February the 14th is the day to declare your undying love for your sweetheart via the medium of chocolates, flowers…and a card that you 100% did NOT buy last-minute at the petrol station.

Sure it's cheesy and yes, "it should be Valentine's Day every day", but let's be honest: it's the holiday we all secretly love deep down. And there's no denying that buying a cute card can prompt you to take stock for a moment and consider all the reasons you love and are grateful for that special someone. Aww.

Of course, not all of us are die-hard romantics and that's ok: these days there's a whole variety of Valentine's Day cards to suit all moods and taste levels; whether you like topical political humour, the bluest of innuendos, puns galore or something more sweet and subtle.

Plus with Galentine's very much a thing these days, the best Valentine's cards for her might involve getting a card for your best gal pals and celebrating all there is to love about friendship and sisterhood.

To make things as easy as possible for you, we've rounded up the best Valentine's cards for her, whatever stage of the relationship you're at. Happy V-Day!
