    1. Punkpost

    1 / 14 Next

    Texts are nice, calls are ok, but sometimes the best way to say ‘Hi!’ or ‘I love you!’ or ‘Miss your face!’ is through a handwritten card. Sending unique, trackable cards is as easy as shooting a text when you use Punkpost. Your first card is always free and the first 200 Netted readers get 20% off their second with code NETTED (Code expired!).

    2. The Bouqs Company
    SPONSORED

    Prev 2 / 14 Next

    Valentine’s Day and flowers go hand-in-hand. But why send expensive, mediocre bouquets when you could get gorgeous blossoms from The Bouqs Company? These vibrant flowers ship straight from the farm, and last way longer than others. Plus you get 15% off and free delivery. Now that’s love.

    3. Jack

    Prev 3 / 14 Next

    Delayed gratification is usually a bummer, like waiting in a long line at Chipotle. But not with Jack: Craft a message and add a photo to send your bae something special that he or she can only open after a set period of time (like, hint-hint, only on V-Day).

    4. FreedomPop

    Prev 4 / 14 Next

    You know what’ll make your Valentine swoon? Having 100% free LTE internet all the time. Surprise your love with FreedomPop. Get a certified pre-owned pocket-sized nationwide LTE hotspot for just $29.99 (that’s 80% off) with free shipping. That comes with a high-speed data trial, and more.

    5. Milktape

    Prev 5 / 14 Next

    You could stumble through an awkward declaration of love. Or you could make a dope USB-enabled mixtape and have Alicia Keys sing your declaration for you. Grab a Milktape and make it happen: Netted readers get 10% off with code netted.

    6. Reserve

    Prev 6 / 14 Next

    We love Chinese food as much as anyone, but takeout probably isn’t going to cut it for your Valentine’s Day dinner. Reserve will recommend great restaurants near you, book a table for you, and even allow you to pay via the app. Oh, and grab WineGlass for help picking out the vino. Now that’s smooth.

    7. Cord Taco

    Prev 7 / 14 Next

    Tangled cords are the worst. You know what aren’t the worst? Tacos! Tell your significant other they’re loved (and maybe need to stay more organized) with a Cord Taco. These positively adorable leather organizers are available at 10% off for Netted readers with code NETTED.

    8. Gotta Go!

    Prev 8 / 14 Next

    Valentine’s Day isn’t, how should we say, the ideal evening for a first or second date. But you’ve already committed yourself, so why not protect against a potentially awkward dinner with Gotta Go!, an iOS app that will text or call your device at selected times, giving you the perfect excuse to bail.

    9. Soothe

    Prev 9 / 14 Next

    Netflix and boxed wine certainly spells chillax, but there’s nothing quite as stress-relieving as a massage. With Soothe, a masseuse comes to your home, anywhere, anytime. Skip the fancy dinner and pamper yourself and your partner. By all means, leave on Jessica Jones in the background.

    10. Klikaklu

    Prev 10 / 14 Next

    Maybe you’re the type that likes to go all out for Valentine’s Day—flowers, chocolate, a parade. Here’s an idea: A romantic scavenger hunt. Download this tongue-twister of an app to take photos in tagged locales and create scavenger hunts that others can follow. Build it well, and you might end up doing some tongue-twisting yourself.

    11. Project Repat

    Prev 11 / 14 Next

    Looking for a great V-Day gift? How about some old T-shirts! Yes, we’re serious. If your S.O. is sitting on a stockpile of shirts, turn them into a comfy quilt with Project Repat. Your cuddling time is guaranteed to increase by 10%, and Netted readers get 20% off a quilt with code netted.

    12. Ribbon

    Prev 12 / 14 Next

    Listen, whatever you do, showing up empty-handed on Valentine’s Day with the line, “Aren’t I enough?” is not a good plan. Luckily, professional help is just a text away: Message Ribbon and a real live person (someone who is actually good at gifting) will help you find the perfect gift.

    13. Musical Prank Valentine's Day Card

    Prev 13 / 14 Next

    Just got through a rough breakup? Say no more: Grab a Musical Prank Valentine’s Day Card and send it to that cheating ex of yours. Once they open it, the music won’t stop until the batteries run out. Meanwhile, you can sit down with General Tso and The Bachelor and smile, because you’ve officially won Valentine’s Day.

Get Rid of Repeat Contacts in Your Email

Clean up your email contact list with Scrubly

If Netted had a quarter for every time we updated our address book we still wouldn’t have enough for a sandwich. That’s because we’ve become masters of the address book universe and have outsourced the job.

Our advice is to check out Scrubly, an email address book cleaner. It takes all the tedium out of organizing your email contacts by cleaning them for you.

If you’re anything like us, you (and your friends) have changed work and personal email addresses quite a bit over the years. Scrubly searches for these duplicate contacts and other junk entries from your address book, helping you find and eliminate redundant and outdated information.

It’s compatible with Microsoft Outlook, Mac Address Book, Gmail and Gmail Apps accounts. Plus, all of your contacts are automatically backed up, so you can safely revert your data to its original state at any point in the process or in the future.

Scrubly will clean 250 of your contacts for free, but complete scans require a small fee. Because we love you, we’ve managed to score a 50% discount for our subscribers by using the promo code “netted” at checkout. That should save you more than enough quarters to spend all in one place. Enjoy!

Start Free Talk, Text, and Video Calls

Make group calls wherever you are with Fring

There’s nothing more embarrassing than showing up to a family event only to have your own parents not recognize you.

Thankfully Fring has recently stepped up their game to offer free video calling on Android, iPhone, and Nokia phones. Now you can use their free app to make video conference calls for up to four people wherever you go.

Whether you’re connected over 3G, 4G, or WiFi, you’re instantly (and literally) face to face with your best friends or family. We’ve been using it to share epic ocean views and for bicoastal dinner parties.

Of course, this is on top of the other great Fring features we know and love. Free VoIP calls and instant messaging (including GoogleTalk) are still included. Fring also offers some of the cheapest international rates around.

This not only reminds us what our family looks like, but the split screen also makes recreating the Brady Bunch opening credits easier than ever.

Turn Your Cherished Moments into Canvas Prints

Send a canvas photo print with Canvas On Demand

The Netted team is willing to bet that you had a great weekend. Now we’re going to make you freak out a bit: This Sunday is Mother’s Day and we’re concerned perhaps you haven’t made any preparations yet?

Relax: Canvas On Demand is here for the last-minute save. They’ll take your favorite sentimental photos and turn them into gorgeous canvas prints fit to be displayed by any proud mother.

Just upload the image you’d like printed and pick a size. We recommend any pictures that make you look heroic but humble enough to appreciate the decades of motherly guidance that got you where you are today.

You can choose a simple thin or thick gallery wrap, or have the canvas framed. To really kick it up a notch, you can opt for a panoramic photo split or multi-piece wall displays.

Photos can be made black and white or sepia at no cost. Any picture can be retouched for a small cost, and backgrounds can be replaced; finally that burning ice cream truck at your last family picnic can be wiped from your memories.

Rush ordering is the best way to make sure it arrives in time for the big day. And since we want both you and your mom to be happy, you can take 25% off by using the coupon code “MAMAMIA25” at checkout. Enjoy!
