My take: Are you still in the market for Holiday cards this year? If so, I encourage you to "get minted" with Minted Holiday Cards. When I first went over to their website, I was astonished with the variety of cards available - 250 designs of Holiday Photo Cards alone! And not only do they offer the "traditional" flat cards, Minted has Yearline™ Holiday Photo Cards and NEW! Minibook Holiday Cards to choose from. Definitely unique, definitely gorgeous works of art.

For this review I received 25 of the Stripes and Pine Holiday Photo Cards. Because our family name is on the card, I'm not putting a picture of our actual card, but the sample one:

Description:
As seen in Cookie magazine. Clean stripes, a subtle stitched border and a striking pinecone give these holiday photo cards a fresh, radiant feel. Thoroughly sophisticated and original, these holiday cards will make a perfect complement to your favorite family photo.
Dimensions:5" x 7" Printing: flat Card Type: Flat Printing Time:

Customization options:
The holiday greeting on this card can be changed to any holiday greeting you wish, for example “Merry Christmas”, “Happy Hanukkah”, “Holiday Tidings”, or anything else you can think of! The phrase "Warmest Wishes" can be replaced with the greeting of your choice - please specify any changes in the special instructions box while personalizing this card. These holiday photo cards will work well with either color, sepia, or black and white photos.

I think you'll agree, these cards are beautiful and perfect for any holiday greeting, be it Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. Ordering could not have been any easier. I uploaded my pictures and ordered within a matter of minutes. A day or so later (not sure of when since I was out of town), a (free) digital proof was sent to my email. After I approved it, I received my cards shortly thereafter in the mail. So if you are looking for unique, beautiful photo cards this year, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Minted.com.

PLEASE NOTE: Order today, Friday December 11, 2009 by midnight PST with 2-day shipping (a free upgrade!) and receive your order by Friday, December 18.

This post was written for Minted who provided me with 25 flat holiday cards for review (a $72 value on the card I chose; I paid for the $10 shipping charges). I was not compensated in any way except for the complimentary product.
