Happy Valentine's Day 2018!

On Valentine's Day 2 years ago, I posted some of my Batman Valentine's Day cards. I talked about how I'm not much of a V-Day celebrator, but I ALWAYS look for Batman Valentine's Day cards around this time of year to add to my collection and also to hand out to friends. I'm sad to report that I didn't find any new one's this year. Womp.

I did find some Spiderman (of course), Superman, Wonder Woman, and Justice League ones. Old hoarder Tiffany probably would have grabbed the Justice League ones just to get the 1-2 Batman cards, but I'm being better about only buying things I really want or need. For example, we went to purchase the Batman: Gotham by Gaslight Blu-Ray at Target and I DIDN'T also purchase the Batman Valentine's Day box of chocolates or the Batman pop socket that I saw. *SELF HIGH FIVE*

I don't have any new V-Day cards to share this year, but I do have another set of previously purchased Batman V-Day cards that I still have lying around. There are still enough in the box for me to hand out to friends while also still keeping a set for my collection. I do enjoy the ones I posted in 2016 because they were all about Batman, but these are nice in that they feature some other great Batman-affiliated characters. I particularly enjoy the Nightwing one. 😍 I'm almost positive these are from Target or Walmart.


I then remembered that I have even older Batman V-Day cards that I've yet to share! I bought these next V-Day cards years ago (some near a decade ago), gave them out to friends, and then kept a set for my collection. Apologies for the poor photo quality. We'll just call this a Way Back Wednesday post since I'm pulling these sexy photos from the vault. Hah. I still have these V-Day cards lying somewhere around my parents' house so can definitely share better photos some time in the future, but no better time than the present to share these especially since it's Valentine's Day.

The first set is some standard Batman ones. The ones hiding in the flash of the camera say "Swinging your way this Valentine's Day!" and "Have no fear, Valentine's Day is here!" 😂 So cheesy, love it.


One year, I bought Batman: The Brave and the Bold V-Day cards when the show was still live. Not all of the cards featured Batman and they didn't even feature cheesy V-Day sentiments. They simply stated character names. I do like some of these other character, but overall, not my best Batman purchase in my opinion. The matching character, non-heart-shaped stickers were a nice touch, though.


One time, I wasn't a hoarder and didn't save the box! These are V-Day cards featuring The Batman TV show art and characters. The large card had a cute little word search on it! The Joker card hidden in the flash of the camera says "Hope your Valentine's Day is a LAUGH-A-MINUTE!" 😂 For better photos of these Batman Valentine's Day cards and others, I found a great resource here. You can find better photos of these particular V-Day cards under the the section labeled Batman Animated Valentines.


Looking back on these just makes me think about how much of a hoarder I am, but I'm also glad I have them to look back on.

Whether you're a hopeless romantic who loves the idea of V-Day or if you're more like me who just treats it like any other day, I hope you have a great one with family and friends!
