With the holidays around the corner, we’re looking for ways to make the season easier this year. Enter: Minted. It’s your one-stop shop for holiday gifts for everyone on your list, party decor, stocking stuffers, and stationery designed by over 10,000 independent artists. It’s basically what you get when luxury meets the seasonal aisle. Read on for what we’re adding to our own carts this year.
Holiday cards you can personalize in more ways than one…
According to Minted’s handy week-by-week holiday planning guide, the best time to get started on customized holiday cards is seven weeks out, which is *checks calendar* right now. These holiday cards are completely customizable. Pick everything from the color theme, to the greeting, foil text, size, shape, paper type, and whether the card is flat or folded, in addition to your personal photos and custom message. They’ll also let you print your recipient addresses on each envelope for free. ($193+, Minted)
A set of festive wine glasses…
We’re suckers for colored glassware, especially when holiday tablescapes are filling up our feeds. These light purple stemless wineglasses brighten up any table, all year long. The rim is painted with 24-karat gold paint that catches the light and gives it a more festive look. You can also snag them in a sage, red, dark blue, and more. ($84, Minted)
Embroidered cocktail napkins…
These cocktail napkins are so chic, we wouldn’t blame you for snagging a set for yourself. They’re guaranteed to take your next cheeseboard to the next level and make a great gift for any host or hostess. Pro tip: For pet lovers, gift them a custom set embroidered with their furry friend. ($25, Minted)
Hand-painted ornaments that just “get them”...
We’ll take your photo ornament and raise you a handmade miniature painting. You can customize these 3-inch ornaments with your giftee’s name, favorite colors, sport or hobby (like gardening, reading, cooking, etc.). ($120, Minted)
Wrapping paper that will last beyond the holidays…
No one-stop seasonal shop is complete without a robust collection of eye-catching wrapping paper — especially the kind that can be used beyond the holidays. This pastel design is a clear winner for any wine moms or happy hour enthusiasts on your list. We also love this street-scene paper for, well, anyone else. If you’re looking to get even more personal with it, you can add a photo to this holiday-inspired design and choose among three different colors. ($13+, Minted)
A candle for the foodie in your life…
Anyone else missing the carefree vibe of tomato girl summer? Because same. That is, until we met these red heirloom tomato-shaped candles. They make for a perfect stocking stuffer or last-minute gift under $40. If you’re interested in building a set, we’re also loving this corn-on-the-cob and this cheese wedge. Bon appetit. ($32+, Minted)
A gift for the bookworm…
Add a little style to their bookshelf with these handmade stone bookends. They’re weighty and super on-trend, thanks to their unique shape and neutral off-white color. They’ll keep everything looking nice and orderly, and can stand on their own as decor pieces, too. ($140, Minted)
Not your grandmother’s candelabra…
It’s quirky, it’s modern, it’s influencer-approved, it’s your (giftee’s) new favorite decor piece. It can hold two 3/4-inch taper candles snugly. Pro tip: Dip the base of your tapered candle in warm water to soften up the wax for a perfect fit. ($70, Minted)
