Minted Giveaway!

April 15, 2013 by Elaine

Minted stationary has come through my mailbox a few times, mostly from my friend Haley.  She sends Christmas cards from them and the quality is always really wonderful. I have also seen some of their business cards and was impressed with those as well.  And, well, I just like pretty paper.

Here is a lovely quote from the “About Us” section on their website.

“Our purpose in life is to uncover exceptional design from all over the world and bring this to savvy consumers who won’t accept anything else.”

Pretty good purpose, I think.

I have a niece currently shopping for wedding invitations and I am pretty sure she is going to want to peruse the selection from Minted very carefully, considering there are so many amazing designs! Almost makes me want to get married again (you know, to the same guy…). 😉  Plus, the gorgeous inspiration boards on their site are enough to make me want to plan another wedding.  Or just a REALLY gorgeous party.

They also have super adorable birthday party invitations for kids and it is possible that I will not be able to resist the cuteness of them for K’s next party in October.  I mean, how could I?  I adore this one!

And if you are looking for custom, limited edition art prints, they also have a wonderful selection of these!  The designs are printed on archival paper and are created by independent artists.  There are plenty of different designs to choose from and as I look through them I can see myself picking out a frame for quite a few.  My fireplace mantle could use something new. Like this:

In other words, I really like shopping the Minted site.  Can you tell?

So, who wants to go shopping themselves?  I bet YOU do!

Minted is offering one of my readers a $50 credit to their site!

Just leave a comment here telling me what grabs your eye the most from their site.  For an extra entry you can post on FB or twitter and leave another comment letting me know that you did.  Giveaway closes, Friday, April 19th. International entrants welcome!

*I was contacted my Minted to do this post in exchange for site credit.  All opinions are my own, of course.

    I had NO IDEA that they did art prints and super cute ones. My sister is preggo and I found a million cute ideas. Thanks Elaine for the heads up!

    I just ordered things for the kids and LOVE them. If I happened to win, I would buy personalized stationary, because I always say I’m going to get it and don’t 🙂
