A Unique Gift For Your Valentine
Over 1 billion cards are sent and exchanged between loved ones around the world on Valentine’s Day. It’s the second most popular card giving day after Christmas. We are also going to guess that a large proportion of these cards are going to end up becoming landfill the next day.
Instead of giving your lover a mass produced pre-written Hallmark card covered in tacky red hearts and teddy bears, invest in an original piece of art and we promise it won’t be tossed out the next day.
Here is a collection of original and unique artwork on Bluethumb to inspire you. We’ve also included some fun and interesting facts about this day and of love.

Apparently, it will only take up to 4 minutes to decide whether you like someone or not. As such, if you want to make a good impression on someone, you have only got around 4 minutes to do so. Getting and keeping someone’s attention and attraction is believed to have more to do with body language and tone and speed of your voice rather than things that you actually say.
