Minted Heart Snapshot Mix

This page contains affiliate links. For more details please explore our “Meet our Partners” page.

I love love love these heart shaped collages you can make with our partner, Minted. A few years ago some friends and I chipped in with money and photos to create one of these for a family who was moving back to London. We were going to miss them dearly and hoped the collage would bring them fond memories of their time here in the US with us. It would make a sweet gift for so many occasions from Valentine’s Day, to Mother’s/Father’s Day, to a special anniversary or engagement gift.

Start making one today with your own photos! It is super easy. Once you decide to go ahead, I recommend collecting a bunch of photos you like and putting them in a folder on your desktop so they are easy to get to and upload into Minted. Then play around with placement to see which photos work best in which spots. Have fun with it!

A super fun gift for any avocado lover. It is super soft and beyond cute. My daughter adores hers.

The 15” is large enough to be impactful but not oversized to take up too much room. My daughter loves avocados and adores this stuffy.

There is also a 7” size available if you want a smaller option, or prefer the lower price point.

Thinksport Yoga & Pilates Mat

Most yoga mats reek of chemicals when you first get them and the odor only lessens over time, never completely going away. You no longer need to suffer. 

Thinksport Mats are amazing. They work really well with great grip and without being full of smelly chemicals. In my mind they are the only yoga mat to buy. And it comes in 4 great colors.

DIY Marbled Jewelry Tray Kit

Brit + Co have given crafting and DIY a stylish spin! This Marbled Jewelry Tray Kit has everything needed to make 2 one of a kind marbled dishes with gilded edges. Just add love and jewelry. 

A wonderful gift for the crafter in your life to make on their own.

Or a very sweet gift if you were to make it yourself and then gift it to a loved one. Perhaps as a gift to mom on her birthday or mother's day. 

If you make it for someone else, make it extra special and truly one of a kind by inscribing a little message or name on the bottom of the tray with a toothpick while the clay is still wet. How sweet would it be to turn it over and read, "You are loved" or a child's name. Would be nice to include the year in fine print as well. Another option is to write on the bottom with a fine tipped sharpie after the clay is baked. You could also use the gold paint pen included with the kit, Brit + Co just says to be sure to let the writing sit for 8 hours so it does not smudge. 

Each kit is $25 and you can pick one of 6 colors.
