$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.

Peppermint bark and Homemade Toffee!
I love to give away (and receive!) holiday cookies!
gingerbread! not longlasting, but delicious.
I like to make these rum balls that you can only eat two if you intend to drive! Also, white fruitcake, and all kinds of cookies.
shortbread!
Wine is always a well-received gift. I also make marshmallows and package them with fancy hot chocolate mix when I have time.
My favorite food items to make and give away during the holiday season are cranberry chutney (which is delicious on EVERYTHING) and fresh cranberry salsa. I get excited just thinking about making these wonderful items for friends and family!
I vary from year to year. This year it is candy cane vodka and snowflake peppermint bark!
I love making pies and cheesecakes, but I think I’ll try making cookies this year!
Cookies in fancy cake boxes tied up with twine and a festive label!
I love MINTED.
This summer I got obsessed with canning, and found a delicious peach rum sauce. I can’t wait to give the little jars to my coworkers in a few weeks!
Lots of canned goods from fresh produce throughout 2012 and cornmeal/hot pepper jelly cookies!
Homemade granola in pretty Weck jars!
Anything homemade. Fewer and fewer of my friends have time to cook these days, so anything homemade it a real treat.
Love the giveaway! I always look forward to receiving my sister’s homemade salted caramels. Bring on the fat jeans 🙂
My favorite holiday treat to give are homemade tandy cakes, a peanut butter and chocolate bar cookie.
I heart Minted.
I’m contemplating infused olive oil for this year’s gift giving. Love your previous holiday cards!
Homemade cookies of course! Sugar cookies with lots and lots of sprinkles.
A homemade cookbook featuring my favorite recipes in 2012!
Something like a chocolate ganache/chocolate sauce that can be used for a bunch of different things (chocolate sauce, chocolate filling, hot chocolate, truffles, etc.) and homemade marshmallows. We call the chocolate sauce “Magic Chocolate Sauce” and it and the marshmallows was a huge hit last Christmas!
Homemade Peppermint Bark, if my family doesn’t eat it all first!
Toss up this year: homemade vanilla extract and newly-found recipes for flavored salts.
But my default is YOUR rosemary shortbread!
My favorite holiday gift is homemade cookies gifted in overly adorable holiday packaging! It is a perfect vehicle for my ribbon obsession.
Homemade chex mix in festive glass jars!
This year I am giving homemade truffles, and stove-top potpourri kits. Chocolate and citrus! mmmmm
Black Forrest Biscotti
What a wonderful giveaway! Thanks!
I bake, bake, bake……100 year old gingerbread cookie recipe for friends, neighbors and grandson.. Breakfast baskets for family members!
I made apricot jam as well as apricot pepper jelly to gift this holiday season. In past years I have made Baklava, with the list growing of people who want to be on the receiving end. I may not be able to avoid making and gifting baklava. It’s something I have made for years, with the assistance of my youngest son who is now 23! It’s a really fun tradition having him help.
Home made cookies in all the flavors that are requested by loved ones!
addictive and not too sweet roasted pecans, using a recipe from a dear friend.
