My Favorite Gift Shop + $50 Giveaway

Uncategorized December 2, 2015

Sharing my absolute favorite place for gifts today!

Minted is my go-to for extra-special gifts, as well as gifts for people who are hard to shop for. So if you need some gifting ideas, check them out, and check out my picks below~ everything you see in the photos is from Minted, links at the bottom! Some of  the reasons I love them:

1. Everything on their site is gorgeous. Indie designers all over the world submit their work to Minted, and if it’s awesome…it gets made. So you know everything on Minted from wrapping paper to wedding cards to art prints is unique, customize-able, top-of-the-line work. AND the designer not only gets to make lots of moolah, but is distinctly credited, which I just think is cool.
2. Quality materials! You pay for what you get at Minted. For example, the stationery is made on beautifully thick, cotton-textured cards. They’re seriously nice.
3. I love to go to Minted for my hard-to-shop-for people. Moms and Dads can be hard because you have to think of gifts for them three times a year: Father’s/Mother’s Day, birthdays and Christmas. My mother-in-law loved the personalized Minted stationery we got for her last time, so this time I’m gifting some to my own momma too. And I got a personalized notebook for my papa.

Their service is stellar as well. I got a call not long after ordering my dad’s notebook because they wanted me to know that the photo would print grainy and asked if I wanted to use a different photo. I ended up sticking with the same one–it’s grainy because it’s over twenty years old haha, but their service is great.

I could go on and on, really. I love Minted so much. So check out a few of the gifts I chose below, as well as the beautiful gift wrap options Minted has. Links to the products at the bottom, as well as a giveaway!

*Giveaway is open to US residents and ends in 5 days. I made it quick so that the winner could get things shipped in time for Christmas!

PS I am still trying to gather as many votes as possible for my Holiday Confetti Bites! Just enter this contest for a Kitchen Aid Mixer, and click on my photo. Thanks so much for your support!! You can vote once per day!
