START WITH PHOTO GIFT IDEAS

Explore how you can turn a personal photo or collection of photos into a work of art. We have plenty of options for you to consider.

1. Heart Snapshot Collage: Our heart snapshot is the ultimate keepsake. Make it heartfelt or humorous, but always personal. With 30 photos, it gives you the chance to capture special memories, from the biggest moments to the little ones. We love giving a heart snapshot as a bride or bridesmaid gift, a special gift for Mom and Dad, a gift for your best friend on her birthday, or a little something special for your significant other, husband, or wife. This photo collage design can be personalized through many different styles.

• Classic: You can’t go wrong with the classic heart snap. A keepsake your friends and family will cherish for years to come.
• Captioned: Recall funny moments, inside jokes, or special moments with our captioned heart snapshot. Insert your own text blocks like, “Remember the time when…”
• Filtered: Does your bestie have a favorite color or a room theme she wants to keep. Give this classic design a pop of color with a tint of blush, black & white, or rainbow.
• Foil-pressed classic: Add some shine to the display by, accenting your photos with gold, silver, or rose gold foil.
• Frosted: Frost the perimeter of your heart collage with real gold foil to give it a stardust effect. The frosted heart snapshot is a luxe way to capture a very special occasion like your best friend’s wedding or a special birthday.
• Hues: Want to feature your photo collage overtop some color? Minted provides five unique background colors (warm grey, navy, powder pink, mint, and evergreen) to give you that little something extra.

Not only is our heart snapshot a special way to capture multiple memories, but our photo uploader tool makes it super easy to create. All it takes is three easy steps.

• Select “personalize”.
• Upload the photos you want to include into your photo tray. Photos can be selected all at once, from your computer or phone.
• Drag and drop them into the place you want them to appear on the heart.

And voila! You have created the perfect personalized wall art gift.
