$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.

As a twenty-something still in the early stages of a career, I can’t always afford to give my loved ones the amazing gifts they all deserve and therefore try to make up for it with homemade treats. This year I will be baking Cranberry Bliss cookies by the dozens and distributing them in festive holiday bags from Costco. I’m also working on a gluten and soy free recipe for my friends with food allergies. These cards from Minted would be a lovely addition where I can include personalized greetings as well as an allergy warning for those with dietary restrictions.
If we are going to a party I bring a dish of my favorite cheesy potatoes. But for something less cumbersome, my husband makes his famous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Yes, I cook, he bakes.
Those cards are too darling!!!
We have done so many different things over the years, but this year I am giving baskets with homemade pumpkin latte mixes. It makes a great gift for my gluten-intolerant friends!
I love making my own peppermint marshmallows and giving them away at the holidays!
Pumpkin chocolate chip bars – yum!
I love to make turtles and biscotti, though this year i might try my hand at pancake mixes.
Almond rocca candy, and peppermint bark!
My Aunt Jeannie’s Italian cookies – they’re the best!
I make amazing chocolate chip cookies with coconut…I get requests for them every year,
love sending cookies to friends i don’t see that often during the holidays!
Every year I make and give away several batches of cinnamon rolls, leaving my husband to grumpily wonder why I never make them for him.
Great giveaway! Thank you.
For the last few years, I’ve made stollen for holiday gifts. Everyone loves it, especially me!
Chocolate mint brownies!
Biscottis! Or cookies! Or some kind of bread!
Last year I made batch after batch of dark chocolate almond toffee. I packaged the toffee in glass canning jars and tied them with cute bows and punched gift tags. I handed them out with the disclaimer to eat at your own risk! I cannot be held responsible for any tooth damage caused by this candy! Luckily, no molars or crowns were lost in the consumption of our goodies! 🙂
Thank you for the weekly inspiration! I took last week off of work to nurse my son after a minor surgery. With all my extra at home time, I made your peasant bread, your “straight forward cinnamon rolls” and even experimented with some rosemary olive oil bread . My family was so impressed!
my favorite this year is peach nectarine syrup with cloves, cinnamon and ginger:)

I love making an upside-down cranberry cake from the Martha Stewart Food cookbook (the first one).
Oatmeal cookies.
Large Mason Jars filled with a ‘Cookie Recipe’ for -Cookie Jars-!
My new favourite food gift is preserved lemons.
I love baking mini loaves of Banana or Pumpkin Bread to give as gifts at Christmas!
Barbara Tropp’s China Moon Chili-Orange Oil. It is festive, unusual, delicious, easy to make and beautiful in jars. I drizzle it on anything and everything Asian-yum.
I’ve done baked goods in the past. This year I’m thinking granola and caramel sauce. Maybe even some meyer lemon curd.
Every year on Christmas Eve, I make a basket filled with homemade cinnamon rolls, granola, and a truffles to give to all of my neighbors! Homemade treats are the best way to show appreciation and spread joy to others!
homemade sriracha
Each year I make family members a basket of homemade jams, jellies, and fruit butters; canned from the produce grown on my farm. We make cookies, crackers, breads, and flavored oils for each basket. Those that I’ll be able to see in person receive farm fresh eggs, milk, and cheese from our livestock; as well as a few pounds of fresh pork, beef, chicken, or whatever has been slaughtered recently. I often have plenty of goats milk soap, homemade laundry detergent, dish detergent, organic cleansers and homemade rags to go around as well. (I love grouping those items together for house warming gifts) Our sustainable farm provides a great bounty to share for the holidays as well as providing plenty for us to share within our community as well. 🙂
Santa’s cookies! (’cause who has time to make them anymore?!)
Love this art! Favorite food giveaway – cookies!
I love to make gift boxes with trail size necessities that my sisters and girlfriends can fit in their purses. 🙂
Apple butter and cookies fo sho.
