$150 Gift Certificate Giveaway from Minted
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
I received my first minted card in the mail three years ago just before Christmas. Upon opening it, I remember holding the card in my hands, rubbing my fingers over its thick paper stock, staring in awe at the quality of the printing, flipping it over to inspect the details and finally propping it up on my desk to admire the design. I have been in love with the company ever since — I look forward to the unveiling of their holiday photo card collection every fall — but what I most love about the company is how it operates: every product sold on the site is the result of a design challenge entered by a community of independent designers living all over the world.
While minted is perhaps best know for its holiday cards, personal stationery and invitations, the company’s high-quality paper goods extend to calendars and gift tags and wall art and party decor. They also have a fantastic selection of food-themed gifts, including kitchen journals (pictured above), art prints (pictured below), stationery and photo cards.
What’s most exciting is that minted is going to give one of you a $150 gift certificate to spend as you wish, though I highly recommend first popping over to Minted’s Holiday collection to start browsing the best selection of bright and seasonal designs out there.
If I were on the receiving end of this giveaway, that’s exactly where I would head, but I’m still trying to snap that perfect shot… still waiting for just the right moment, you know, when Ella isn’t throwing Graham down the steps or scrunching his fingers in doors or whacking him over the head with a spatula. Wish me luck.
If you are interested in receiving this gift certificate just leave a comment below. Tell me your favorite homemade food gift to give away during the holidays.

My favorite food gift to give away for the holidays is chocolate covered peanut clusters!

Mason jars filled with granola has been our go-to for years, but tomorrow I’m experimenting with making homemade siracha hot sauce… might be the start of a new tradition.

This year I am going a different route and trying my hand at vanilla extract!
I always make honey-pecan chex mix to give away!

I love making homemade cocoa mix to give friends. I make it “adult” by adding a little bottle of baileys as the tag.
I love to give spritz cookies as they represent my family heritage and memories of making cookies w/my dad. A new favorite is a gluten free cranberry upside down cake from the Whole Living Magazine – nothing quite like surprising a GF friend with seasonal baked goods 😉
Dark Chocolate Truffles with a creamy ganache center. Yummm. A bit labor intensive but my family loves me for these!
