$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.

Lemon curd!
I love making cookie dough mix in mason jars, along with mixing and baking instructions! I usually do chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin! This an awesome giveaway, thank you!
Pumpkin bread. With nuts. Or without nuts, but then with chocolate. Key.
barley wine
I like to give away home made biscotti because it is so easy but no one thinks to make them.
I love to give away cinnamon ginger candied almonds! Family and friends look forward to that + their weck jars that I fill the little delights in 🙂 (By the way – LOVE these prints..would be so DELIGHTED to win!)
Actually, it’s your recipe for rosemary shortbread. My friends go wild for it.
I gave homemade scones to family a few years ago and they were a hit! Last year was homemade granola — equally tasty!
It used to be frosted sugar cookies for the LONGEST time, but now it is your very special rosemary shortbread! Every single person I share it with immediately demands to know the recipe and I have even planted a rosemary bush so that I can always make this amazing shortbread on the fly 🙂
I love to give away ‘Cowboy Candy’ (pickled jalapeños) and red pepper jelly. This year I’m giving away homemade vanilla using your recipe and vendors. Can’t wait!!!
I make platters of assorted cookies and give them out. Love these cards!
I always prepare flavoured/compounded butters & now this year flavoured salts. Given in Weck jars…with handmade tags from ‘mud&twigs’ etsy.com.As always sprinkled with lots of Love ! Merry Christmas to all of you!
Homemade cinnamon rolls!
My favorite homemade holiday food gift is peppermint bark! My cousin and I have been in the kitchen together since we were kids always trying to come up with new holiday ideas (as kids this usually meant adding red and green food coloring to everything). Year after year our one staple has always been peppermint bark. It’s great to make in large batches, looks great in a holiday tin or treat bag, and let’s be honest… who doesn’t love it!
I’d also like to say I LOVE Minted! I think their designs are so cute and trendy. I would really put this gift card to good use 🙂
I love making magic cookie bars for others – mostly because if I make them for myself I usually end up eating way more than I should!
I love to make coconut macaroons and package them in Christmas tins for gifting.
i love to giveaway those pizzzelle cookies…in anise flavor. This year i might try spiced nuts as gifts for neighbors and friends.
i love to make cookies – a recent find is nutella-stuffed chocolate chip cookies – but i also want to make your homemade vanilla! happy holidays! 🙂
I love giving away my trove of jam and marmalade — particularly now that my amazing 16 yr old daughter has taken over (and vastly improved on) our christmas cookie extravaganza . . .
Wonderful giveaway! And happy holidays!
Cookies. My mom has passed down to me some of The Best (in my humble opinion) Christmas cookie recipes in creation and it woudl be so much fun to have some cute stationary to include with those gifts.
I’m considering homemade peanut butter this year. I made it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was delicious. Though my fear is I may gift it to someone with an allergy and kill them. That would really put a damper on the holidays!
My husband and I make cider and mead and bottle it in fun bottles that can be used for decor after the spirits have been consumed.
I’ve never been able to resist the dynamic combination of peppermint and chocolate. During the holidays, I like to share this obsession by giving boxes of home made peppermint patties. A dark chocolate coating and a festive candy cane crumble on the top are essential. Warmest holiday wishes!
Awesome! I love giving away cookies because baked goods are always welcome, especially around the holidays. Infused vodkas and homemade vanilla extract is good, too.
Cookies! Chocolate crackle ones are my favorite.
Homemade sea salt caramels!
Great giveaway idea! It seems that this time of year all of my friends are moving to new apartments and houses. As a moving gift, I have been giving buckets full of essentials for moving (screws, a pair of scissors, tape, etc) based on a great post from pinterest. But to add to the usual housewarming, I include a set of paper napkins, paper plates, plastic knives and forks, and plastic cups, a baguette, a couple good cheeses, my homemade chutney, and a good bottle of wine. It seems that the last box to be unpacked in any move (if it isn’t lost completely) is the one with the dishes in it. So in the middle of all the unpacking nothing is better than an easy snack and a bottle of wine drank form the classiest solo cups.
Lemon curd. In fact, I’m making it today! It makes a lovely gift with a treat bag of shortbread to go with it!
on christmas afternoon, my dad, siblings, and i make mini christmas pizzas and deliver them hot! to our neighbors. everyone loves pizza!
I love the idea of giving away flavor infused oil. A friend of mine gave away small bottles he made at his wedding and they were so charming. In Italy this summer we had chili infused oil all the time and it was DE-LICIOUS! I think it would be a great gift so winter doesn’t feel so long 🙂
