Furious mum demands Tesco remove their ‘weird’ Valentine’s Day card for kids saying it’s a ‘day for lovers not children’
A MUM has called on Tesco to stop selling Valentine’s Day cards for kids saying the celebration was for ‘lovers’ and not children.
Nicola, from Plymouth, hit out at the loved-up cards aimed at kids, featuring characters such as Elsa’s Frozen, Winnie The Pooh and Spiderman.
One of the cards says ‘For a special little girl, have a magical day’, while another reads ‘Daddy, my heart’s full of happy… and it’s all because of you!’
Another said ‘for a special little boy, have an epic Valentine’s Day’, while Nicola claimed another one had the slogan ‘Daddy loves you lots like jelly tots’.
The 32-year-old, who has an eight-year-old son, said cards marketed for young children is “wrong”, and questioned who would send them.
She told Plymouth Live: “Valentine’s Day is for lovers. It’s not something that you should involve children in.
“Some people might buy these cards because they think its cute, but in my opinion it’s just weird.
“The children’s ones I do not think are appropriate.”
She added she would not be happy if anyone gave her son one on February 14, and called on the store to pull them from their shelves.
Nicola added: “In my opinion Valentine’s Day has always been about relationships and lovers, not children especially young children which I believe these cards are aimed at due to the pictures and wording.”
Despite the backlash, the supermarket confirmed they weren’t removing the cards.
A Tesco spokesperson said: “We provide a range of cards so that everyone can take part in Valentine’s day.”
