Welcome to Mother’s Day Giveaway Week at MyMomShops! Each day through Friday, we’ll offer a fantastic prize for one lucky mom (or grandma, or aunt, or friend, or babysitter…). You can enter as many of the giveaways as you want between now and Sunday 5/2 at midnight EST; the winners will all be chosen by Random.org and then announced on Monday morning 5/3. However, this very first giveaway- from Minted.com- has an entry deadline of this Wednesday 4/28 at 11:59pm EST (the winner will be announced on Thursday 4/29 at 8am EST). More details and contest rules appear below.
Let’s get started! Our first giveaway is 50 beautiful personalized notecards from popular stationery site Minted.com (you may remember them from holiday photo card season last year). Minted is popular year-round, though, for its stationery gifts, including these wonderful new photo and non-photo stationery cards which are perfect Mother’s Day gifts. One thing that sets Minted apart from the other stationery sites is that its designs are created by independent artists who compete to have their work featured at Minted. You get more unusual, eye-catching designs than you’ll find on other stationery sites, but everything remains top-notch and elegant. You’ll have a hard time finding a design that you don’t like.
The giveaway winner will be able to choose a set of 50 cards, either photo stationery thank you cards or non-photo Mother’s Day stationery. Here are a few of my personal favorites (prices start around $35 for 15 cards and include a white gift box; the winner will receive 50 cards valued up to $92 total):
Modern Mommy Photo Stationery Cards (design by Annie Clark, San Francisco CA)
Lemon Lace Personalized Stationery (design by Laura Hankins, Waipahu HI)
Side Street Personalized Stationery (design by Andres Montano, San Francisco CA)
Maura Personalized Stationery (design by Sarah Lenger, Iowa City IA)
Sticky Tape Photo Stationery Cards (design by unless someone like you, Oak Park, IL)
Shabby She Personalized Stationery by Andres Montano: 
And keep in mind some other sweet deals from Minted:
1) NOW: Minted is offering 10% off Mother’s Day stationery gift purchases of $50 or more. Use coupon code “MDAY2010″ and hurry- it expires midnight tonight!
2) LATER: Take a few minutes to fill out this survey about holiday cards (it just takes a few minutes, I promise- I did it myself) and you’ll receive a coupon code for 15% off any flat-printed products at Minted. The coupon doesn’t expire until Thanksgiving Day, which means you can use it for a big holiday card order if you plan ahead!
Win it! One reader will win their choice of 50 personalized stationery cards (design of choice, up to $92 in value) from Minted.com.
Here are the contest rules (they have changed a bit- please read carefully!)

4) One winner will be chosen at random (using Random.org) and announced on Thursday 4/29 at 8am EST.
5) NOTE: If you wish to be contacted by e-mail if you win, please include your e-mail address in your comment. Otherwise you must check back on Thursday 4/29 before 10am EST. If the prize is NOT claimed by 10am, the next random winner (using Random.org) will be contacted. We are doing a quick turnaround on this giveaway so that the winner can have her cards in time for Mother’s Day!
GOOD LUCK!
If I win, I'd love the Spring Blossom stationery (in light teal). Plus I'll use my coupon for the upcoming birth announcements that I'll need in 4 weeks!
Their designs are all so wonderful, it's hard to choose! But "Talk Bubble" is clean and simple and fun.
My favorite is the sticky tape photo stationery – so cute and personal!
Thanks for the opp-

The spring blossom pattern rocks! Anna C.
They are all gorgeous, but I think the Maura stationary is my favorite.

The Sweet and Simple Photo Stationery Cards are so wonderful, we have a newborn baby girl in the family, my niece loves to keep in touch and I can imagine her joy to have some of these personalied notes or stationery soon!

Ohh this one is tough – it's a tie between the Shabby She and the Spring in Sevilla! Love them!
It's really hard to choose a favorite. If I'm picking stationary for just me, I am loving the Shabby She. It's totally different than what I usually pick out. If I were doing one for our entire family (4 of us,) I think I'd pick Classic Monogram.

I love everything from Minted! There are so many beautiful designs to choose from, but my favorite is Graphic Blossom. I love the simple, understated girliness of it. I need to reclaim my feminine side.
I think the Tree Personalized Stationery is my favorite. Thanks!
