$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.

this one’s easy–saltine toffee!
I love making and getting cheese straws – there are so many different versions in the South 🙂
I make Alice Waters’ cinnamon almond cookies – a recipe that I found in a magazine many years ago. It isn’t Christmas without these cookies, and friends love them.
I love to give granola around the holidays. IT’s sweet and fun, but healthy and unusual!
I think homemade crackers are a wonderful gift. We make a variety of different types – cheddar mustard, rye crisps, flatbread – and give them away with a small jar of tapenade or spread.
our family gift-giving tradition are lemon twists – braided dough layered with lemon, sugar and walnuts. so delicious!
Chili Cayenne spiced walnuts and candied orange peel — although if you are going in the order of what people like receiving from me than I would probably have to go with Dark Chocolate Peppermint Brownies. And sorry Graham but Ella’s first Xmas card is still my absolute favorite and has a prominent place on my wall o’cards 🙂
My favorite gift to give away is homemade pumpkin chocolate chip cookies; my favorite gift to receive is my mother-in-law-to-be’s homemade jams.
I love to give homemade peppermint marshmallows and homemade hot chocolate mix. Everyone loves hot chocolate, and I love making marshmallows.
cookies – chocolate chip, decorated sugar cookies, etc.
I love giving away my mom’s recipe for spritz cookies. It’s just not Christmas for me until we make them.
This year I’m giving pans of homemade cinnamon rolls to our friends and co-workers.
Gingerbread, full stop
I am some homemade vanilla brewing on my counter now! I saw your post about making vanilla, and I ordered some beans from Indrivanilla and brewed up a batch! I can’t wait to package it up and give bottles away to my friends and family this holiday season!
My nana’s recipe for runner bean chutney which looks and sounds mediocre at best but tasted incredible, especially with cheese and buttery toast. Once you’ve tried it you can’t get enough of it and we always have people asking for a jar. The ugly chutney duckling.
Jars of mild & hot salsa, made at home with organic tomatoes and hot peppers grown in our garden, with a package of Vermont tortilla chips.
My late mom’s famous chocolate chip cookies. Everyone loves ’em.
I love giving my friends my homemade peanut butter fudge. It is the most delicious thing on earth..
Pumpkin or banana bread. I’ve already made a half dozen loaves of your pumpkin quick bread this fall, and a few more batches are on my horizon for the holidays! I even bought the mini-loaf pans you recommended in the recipe post for easy gift giving.
I’ve made all the fancy, fussy Christmas cookies, but the one everyone always likes the best are good, old-fashioned chocolate chip cookies. Holiday or not, they’re everyone’s favorite.
I love making my mom’s eggnog cookies that are rolled into little logs and then twisted at the end to form a loop. Fresh out of the oven, dusted with powdered sugar, these cookies are to die for. yum. Thank you for sharing that fantastic pomegranate salad, btw. delish.
An assortment of vegan cookies!
I love giving out a Penzeys seasoning called Fox Point, its a universal favorite and it gets people hooked on better spices!
We love giving away cookie mixes, mini-cake loaves, or sugared pecans! What an awesome giveaway. 😀
I love my making my mothers bun bars. They are amazing and so easy to make you just layer peanuts, vanilla pudding, butterscotch, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Everyone looks forward to receiving them on Christmas
Everyone loves caramel popcorn!
Hmmm…. I’m not great at giving food away. I’m not too motivated to cook unless I get to have some too! I am a good hostess and happily share food. My favorite for that is BBQ Brisket, recipe from Silver Palate.
Minted cards are my favorite 🙂
I love making and gifting my mom’s candied pecans! They disappear so fast.
Peppermint Meringues!
I love giving away home made fudge and peppermint bark.
The Minted cards are awesome, love all their stuff!
