Valentine's Day is Coming!
Card of the Week!
This week's pick has been delivering love since 1916!
Debuting on the Valentine's Day edition of Woman's Home Companion, where — for only 15 cents — readers could browse everything from soap ads promising "a skin you love to touch," "New York styles for every boy," to features on modern Valentine's, engagement parties, and even gardening.
The magazine is a glimpse into romance, domestic life, and love as it was seen 110 years ago — heavily shaped by illustration and advertising.
This design is now a beloved card in our Valentine's Day Collection, and we're proud to keep it circulating more than a century later!

Nice to Meet You!
We are Laughing Elephant, a greeting card and gift company founded in 1969. Our warehouse and retail store are located in Seattle, Washington, and we are the keepers of one of the largest libraries of illustrated books and ephemera in the United States. From this library, we draw inspiration and images that become the source material for all our offerings. We curate our collections with the goal of sharing beautiful images with the world.
We celebrate the golden age of design, when artists and illustrators were an integral part of advertisements and merchandising. Their beautiful, hand drawn images inspire us to make gifts and cards you will love.
