Valentines is around the corner and if you were looking to send out some love this year, now’s the time. Minted, in case you’re unfamiliar is a design marketplace sourcing creative content from a global community of independent artists.

I don’t know about you, but the grocery store hallmark cards just aren’t cutting it. Minted carries a wide variety and selection of cards for literally every occasion. Linked a bunch of my favourite Valentine’s Day card designs for you below:

I’ve been ordering from Minted for the past couple of years and they NEVER disappoint! I’ll take any holiday as an excuse to put together cute little gift baskets for friends + family and this year I ended getting a few different greeting card designs as well as 2 of their classroom valentines to send to my nieces & nephews.

I ordered some nostalgic candy off Amazon and my pal Danielle (of Sprinkle & Whisk) helped me design some adorable custom cookies to add in, as well. Then, I like to go to either Michaels or the dollar store to add some fun touches for the occasion.

One other purchase I made this year was a gift for my hubby. I went with a custom art photo frame, this one. I loved how I could include some of our favourite memories from the last few years and also loved the polaroid vibe of this one. I went with a grey frame detail and had the photos printed in color (you can also customize in black & white). Just another cute idea that isn’t your typical box of chocolates.
