minted mother’s day gift guide :: #mothersdayevent2018 :: $100 giveaway

Posted on April 27, 2018April 27, 2018 by Ginny

disclaimer giveawayHave you been enjoying all the wonderful giveaways for mothers this week? In my most biased opinion, I saved the best for last. I adore anything www.minted.com has put their name on. It’s such a great place for artists to share their talents. If you are an expecting mama, you should certainly consider Minted for your baby announcements!

encourage others with a noteI’m using my precious new set of notecards. The design I picked was even sweeter and delicate in person. I feel like a hand written note is a bit of a lost art. It’s easier to text someone. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s also meaningful to get a note from a friend. It makes me realize that I meant enough to them that they would take the extra time to write and mail a card.

I like to have stationary on hand for those extra special thank you’s I want to send someone. I also use notecards to pass along encouragement. This stationary set is my favorite and I only break them out for my most special friends and family. If you get a note from me on these, you should feel privileged. 🙂

My dad’s birthday is snuggled up with Mother’s Day so I actually got two sets of stationary. One was for myself, Happy Mother’s Day to me! The other set was for my dad’s birthday. I have selfish intentions too. I know he will write me a sweet note to thank me for his new notecards. I have a great example in my life of someone who is a consistent encourager through hand written notes. He loves to fly fish so this stationary set was perfect. Minted always has the perfect product for whoever I’m shopping for.

minted photo artMy most favorite hanging dĂ©cor is the California print I had made with our Christmas card photo. Such a special way to preserve a moment in the life of our family. In my opinion, the most perfect Mother’s Day gift is something to represent my family and why I have the title MOM.

I hope I’ve given you a good little sample of all the wonderful goodies over on the minted site. Now for the best part…

    My most memorable note has to be the very first love letter my husband wrote to me before we started dating. I still have it to this day and whenever we are having problems in the marriage I break it out and read it to remind myself how much he loves me.

    Hands-down, the best note I’ve ever received was from my daughter. She had to write a note in class her freshman year of high school, and wrote it to me. She told me I was the most influential person in her life, made me cry…happy tears, of course! I still have the letter. <3
