$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.

Bourbon cherries!
My favorite gift is a big bottle of homemade vanilla for friends who bake.
Homemade, secret recipe Rum Balls in Christmas decorated tins are my favorite gift to give to family, friends and coworkers!
We used to make holiday fruit cakes in mini loaf tins, to give to students and friends. I never thought I loved fruit cakes, quite the opposite, but that particular recipe is a winner!
I love giving braided swedish cardamom bread with plump raisins, finished with a sprinkling of turbinado sugar the loaf is pretty, festive and delicious, always a win!
Huge homemade cinnamon rolls! My mom’s recipe is better than any other cinnamon roll I’ve ever had.
home made jams from this summer
I love to give away canned gifts, specifically fruit preserves. Last year, though, I made homemade vanilla extract.
a tray full of my assorted Christmas Cookies.
I always make boxes of truffles, peppermint creams, fudge and toffees for my relatives, everyone wants sweets at christmas and this beats a lame tin of Quality Street any day!
Your recipe for pumpkin bread has become my go to homemade gift. I’m in NJ and after Hurricane Sandy everyone was changed. When my daughter came home from school she said one of her teachers lost everything in the storm. I made her a loaf with a note attached letting her know we were thinking about her. We made loaves for other people just to let them know we were thinking about them. I then made 4 loafs for Thanksgiving and everyone called to tell me how much they loved it! We’ve decided to make the pumpkin bread for teacher gifts for both of my daughters. I love knowing that people enjoy it and it has gotten me over my fear of baking!
I love giving my homemade chocolate dipped salted caramels. Last year I did them in sets of five in these cute little truffle boxes made of recycled materials, and wrapped them in a bakers twine bow. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Homemade almond roca in pretty little tins!
Thanks! I live to give chocolate covered gingerbread cookies:). Happy holidays!
Homemade preserved Meyer lemons!
Homemade preserved Meyer lemons!
Everyone waits for my fudge. I only make it at Christmas. Would love to make something new this year.
Candied Jalapenos! Everyone asks for them actually now 🙂 Love them.
I make 3 cheese peppery nut cheese logs every year as small gifts. I make a bundle of the cheese log, a decorative spreader, a small pack of gourmet crackers all rolled in a new dishtowel and tied with twine. People seem to look forward to the logs, the one year I didn’t make them, was out of town, I had many calls asking if I’d forgotten them or had they been placed on the ‘naughty’ list by mistake?! =0)
A loaf of homemade bread with blackberry jam that I made from that summer.
Hands down, it has to be toffee!
Awesome giveaway! I love to give away my homemade jam at the holidays. 🙂
what a fun giveaway! your “making spirits bright” card is still one of the funniest holiday cards I’ve ever seen. my food-gift standard is jam / marmalade, but since jam requires more seasonal forethought than I can usually muster (berries and figs hit the texas market stands in may, peaches in june), most years also involve supplemental cookies or vanilla sugar.
I love making (and receiving) homemade cookies and breads as gifts. Every year I try a new recipe and I’m proud to say that they’ve all been well-received by family and friends. 🙂
I love to give a whole box of cookies during the holidays to my friends and family. My Mom and I pick out a few recipes we are dying to try out and package them all up!
I like to give away small challah loaves during the holidays. They’re pretty and not the usual cookies.
Every year I spend 6 mo the making a huge batch of homemade Limoncello. I’ll give the with home canned pasta sauce, fresh made pesto and some fresh pasta. I have a line of people trying to get on my “gift giving” list!!
I love to make and gift plates of Christmas cookies!
Last year I gave away Sugar-Spiced Nuts that I “wrapped” in small Ball jars and tied up with twine. They were a hit!
I totally drank the water: I’m into all those mason jar snacks like cupcakes, pies, smores, etc. It’s just so easy to share!
