Vinyl Valentine's Day Cards

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hallmark's 'Vinyl Record Cards' are Compatible with Record Players

— January 31, 2019 — Lifestyle
Hallmark is putting an innovative new spin on the musical greeting card this Valentine's Day with the introduction of its Vinyl Record Cards. Square sleeves open to reveal 7-inch records, which contain two songs from artists such as Bruno Mars, Michael Bublé and Kelly Clarkson from the Warner Music Group.

Rather than opening up to reveal a tune, as many musical cards do, these ones can be placed onto a record player to share a tune and truly capture the heart of a music lover with a passion for quality sound. Additionally, these Vinyl Record Cards have the potential to be saved as special keepsakes and enjoyed throughout the year.

When it comes to ordering these musical Valentine's Day cards, consumers are able to add a personalized message that will be written by hand in a writing style of one's choosing.
