I have to admit … I have been totally lazy and forgetful about my holiday cards this year. They should be out by now and I haven’t even ordered mine yet! I don’t know what it is, but I kept putting it off and now I’m realizing how very late I am, as I’m getting cards in the mail from my friends and family practically every day. Luckily, websites like Minted have great last minute deals (PS – through today only they are taking 15% off holiday cards with code WINTER17, and you can always get expedited shipping). They also have really convenient services like envelope addressing which is awesome if you hate your handwriting like I do!
Personally, Minted is my favorite place to get cards because I think their designs are the most beautiful and unique. Their independent designers make some of the prettiest cards around. And they’re customizable down to the very last detail — fonts, colors, you name it. Their paper choices and foil options are really fun, too. Anyway, I checked out their latest offerings and compiled a roundup of all of my favorite designs for this year — just click on any design below for a direct link!
And now for the best part … A GIVEAWAY! I am personally giving one lucky reader a $100 gift card to Minted to pick up their own last-minute holiday cards, or anything else they’d like to get! To enter, simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below and a winner will be chosen at random on Friday. And stay tuned to see which holiday cards I pick for myself!
Good luck!
