I received some of the nicest stationery I have ever had in my life recently from Minted.com. They carry high quality, personalized holiday cards, birth announcements, baby shower invitations, save the date cards, and other personalized stationery. What do you do with your holiday cards and other notes you receive? Do you keep them or throw them away after you look at them? I bet most of you trash them after the holidays because it's usually just some ho hum cards that are mass produced in the stores.

I will tell you specifically about two items that I think you would love and would be great for this holiday season coming up and you won't want to throw away either! They are the Holiday Photo Cards and Kids Stationery. First is the Kids Stationery, which has a wide variety of designs to choose from that every child would enjoy receiving. You choose the design you want (there are trains, giraffes, flowers, cars, dinosaurs and more to choose from) then personalize it with the text and font you would like and that's it. They send a proof to your e-mail for you to make sure it is what you want and then your order is placed. I personally received The Owl Kids Flat Stationery, located on right->>>.

The Holiday Photo Cards are different than anything I have ever seen before. There are multiple ways to decide what cards to purchase:

• How many photos you want to use- -1, 2, or 3+
• Format-- flat, folded, yearline or mini-books
• Style
• Occasion--Christmas, Hanukkah, holiday
  
• Special Features--baby's first Christmas, recipe card, photo-centric, regional
  
• Paper--signature, recycled, pearlescent
• Photo Orientation--landscape, portrait, square
  
• Colors
• Price

The two most personalized cards are the Yearline Cards, which contain up to 5 photos and the occasions you want to share (like April 10th--Hannah's birthday and September 7th--first day of school, etc), and the Mini-Books, which contain 4-7 photos and can contain all photos or photos and text of your choosing. These two designs in particular are a great way to send up to date news about your family to others during the holidays.



My Opinion:
I love the designs and variety of cards to choose from. As I mentioned, it is high quality, not flimsy paper. You can see and feel the difference. The price may be a little pricey compared to some places, but then again, I don't know the quality of product they have. It is very easy to order and you get friendly and prompt service. I give them two thumbs up!
