As a teenager, I used to tape polaroids of my friends and family above my bed. I would have loved a custom photo mix like this! Complete with 30 of your favorite photos in a whimsical heart design, it’s a unique collage that you can keep for yourself or give to a friend. Choose to purchase it either with or without the fitted frame. Personally, I’m a fan!

Wrapping paper is the kind of essential that you don’t think to buy unless it’s an emergency. I’ve definitely purchased some sub-par wrapping paper before because I was in a bind, but that kind of cheapens the overall look of the gift, you know? So, don’t be like me. Stock up ahead of time with this vintage wrapping paper that features screen-printed hand-drawn illustrations on light cream paper. It’s simultaneously festive and classic–plus, it cuts crisply to help you make neat folded edges.
$1.83 each for 100 cards
With its wide tissue plaid collage and simple typography, this holiday card puts your attempts at Canva design to shame. The design is shown set within the wave scallop shape to better highlight the colors, and I love how even looking at it makes me feel like I’m being wrapped up in a big, cozy plaid blanket. As with all things Minted, custom design is the name of the game, so you can personalize it with additional photos or a more detailed message. Be sure to take advantage of the FREE recipient address printing!

Everybody’s got that one friend who tells you about their alma mater any chance they get. No shade to them–showing your campus pride is a good thing! That makes this custom watercolor-inspired art print the perfect gift, because it shows off the place where they spent the best four years of their lives. Voila! You just gave them a sentimental piece of artwork that they’ll treasure forever.

When you send out Save The Dates and wedding invites, you tend to use a lot of paper. That’s why I love the thought behind this indie-designed Save The Date, which lets you announce your wedding date and save on postage/paper. The beautiful floral design is so sweet and pretty, elegantly showcasing you and your loved one.
$203, including matte white border and frame
As a mom to a two-year-old, I’m here to tell you just how much kids love pictures. My little girl is often pointing to the prints in her room and telling me all about them. She’d be over the moon for a custom piece of artwork that features her name and some of her favorite things! Cue this high-quality galaxy print, which is a great gift for the little boy or girl who’s obsessed with outer space. I especially love how it perfectly captures the whimsy and wonder of childhood.

Coasters are a must when entertaining. You spend so much time making the drink that the overall presentation should be just as thoughtful! I’m obsessed with these Nutcracker-inspired coasters, which include gorgeous, hand-drawn illustrations of Nutcracker characters from the beloved holiday story. Not only will they add interesting texture and a pretty pop of color, they’ll protect your dining room table from stains. Win-win!

A Christmas tree topper is more than an ornament, it’s a symbol of the festive season. Growing up, I remember that it never felt like Christmas until our angel was perched atop the Christmas tree. If you’re more of a star person, this incredible topper is the holiday decor you deserve. Meticulously painted with acrylic gouache and sealed to maintain its shine, it’s gorgeous and unique. Just imagine gifting it to a friend, whose family will ring in special memories under the light of the star for years to come!

I’ve not yet done it, but I imagine writing thank you cards after a wedding to be a thankless task. Not so much when the thank you cards are so gorgeous, though! Simplicity is the name of the game with these classic black-and-white cards that include an elegant typography, simple frame, and monogram. What better way to make people feel acknowledged than to receive one of these?
$1.76 each for 70 cards
Birth announcements are super sweet no matter what kind of card you send out, but this one is truly adorable. Featuring a map of the Hundred Acre Wood and the characters from the classic Winnie the Pooh storybook, and complete with four small photos, it celebrates your bundle of joy in a standout way. If you or your loved ones are expecting any babies this festive season, Minted’s collection of birth announcements is just the ticket.

What could be more romantic than stepping into an English garden in full bloom? That’s the inspiration behind this floral printed overlay, featuring intricate designs of flowers and plants on translucent vellum paper. It adds a layer of dimension to your invite, making it stand out from anyone else’s. I know “Romeo and Juliet” took place in Italy, but this is giving off a star-crossed lovers vibe.

I love a good stocking stuffer, and this 2025 desk calendar absolutely falls into that category. While you could argue that a calendar isn’t very fun, these prints are so pretty they’ll instantly upgrade your workspace. Each month’s calendar is printed on both sides and features a design from an artist in the Minted community. Bonus: The wooden display stand is also included.

The best dopp kits organize your toiletry essentials, but they get bonus points if they’re pretty–which this one obviously is. Its unique design is inspired by warm and sunny Cayucos, CA, and the handpainted blooms and greenery will add a cheery pop of color in any season. Of course, the water repellant liner, butter-soft leather handle, and personalized foil-pressed leather tag deserve special attention too! I’m adding it to my gifting list RN.

Anytime I want to set a mood, I reach for the candles. But even more than candles, a candelabra will elevate your ambience by turning your light fixture into a statement piece. This sculptural candelabra features quirky twin peaks to hold two elegant candles. It’s ideal for anyone who appreciates a space-saving home accessory, and it’ll make a great contrast against a darker wood table or sideboard. Candles not included.

After spilling my Yeti full of tea all over the car last year, I’ve been #TeamTumbler or bust. Tumblers are an everyday staple for most of us, so it feels like a no-brainer to get one with an original creative design. Not only is this birds of paradise print one-of-a-kind, but the spill-resistant tumbler itself is a practical utensil, keeping your drink cold for up to 18 hours.
