Etsy, an online marketplace that buys and sells handmade, vintage goods, AND nostalgic novelty items, featured a wonderful gift for Valentine’s day.
The "Secret Decoder Ring" is a pop-up greeting card that lets you write your own secret love message on a slip of paper that you then hide inside the card. Your beloved recipient then decodes your message using the decoder ring on the card. The key to decoding the secret message is under the paper.
The "Secret Decoder Ring" has a vintage look and beautiful aesthetic. How cute!
