The [Hungry Workshop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartshaped-3cheeser-howie-bread) has created some really unique cards that would be perfect for [Valentines Day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hallmark-valentines-day). My personal favorite has to be the "I would shave my beard for you" card. It is completely original and still has special meaning -- particularly for hipsters with ironic facial hair to trim.

These are definitely different from the cards you see in drug stores. The Hungry Workshop serves up [special cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anything-roots-post) that can be personalized to fit you. The Love card invites you to add your own thoughts and fill in the blanks.
