gifting with Minted

its been a long time, and i mean a REAL long time, since we sent out christmas cards, and for some magical reason, i decided THIS was the year.  hooray!  we recently had family pictures taken by our sweet friend cameron ingalls (if you’re local, you’ll love him!), and i knew i wanted to use minted to print our cards – their designs are all so dreamy!  my biggest problem was choosing a design to go with – there are hundreds and are all just. so. good.  my second biggest problem was the rabbit trail that i went on while searching the minted site.  but after wandering that trail for hours, not joking, i have a bunch of last minute gift suggestions that just about anyone in your life would love.  you’re welcome ;)

here’s the thing about minted: everything they sell is classic, but also modern.  and beautiful.  and just happy!

lightly gilded custom photo art //my bucket list notebook // subtle banner personalized stationary // gilt agate foil-stamped stationary // lost in the wilderness stationary // below zero (buffalo) // presence (horse) //  stockholm cafe napkin set // xo notebook

while the artwork is a bit more of a splurge item (but gosh, so pretty!), the stationary and notebooks are reasonable and different than anything you grab off the shelf in a store.  and you know your mom and grandma would love a framed picture of you!

the winter art is giving me all the feels right now – so moody and lovely and you just have to sit by the fire and drink something toasty while you stare at it!

we use clothing labels for our kids every year for camp, but also during the school year for water bottles and lunch boxes.  i would choose these simple striped ones, but i know my kids would choose something a little more colorful, and they have so many options!  the ones i order every year are so boring and way too juvenile for my kids, so i will definitely be changing it up this year!

if you’re looking for gifts with a little more color, these are sure to please!  i do love myself some blues and greens!

and here’s a little peek at my final choice for our christmas cards.  yes, its super simple, but goodness i love it!  the gold foil is just so pretty and shimmery.  once i get those cards in my hands, i’ll show you some more details…
