Thoughtful Gifts that Give Back
As part of the collaboration, Eldredge has hand-selected his favorite holiday gifts from Minted’s global community of makers. A cozy throw blanket weaves luxury with craftsmanship, architectural candle holders create instant ambiance, and a handsome custom pet silhouette honors the family dog.

The Minted and Brett Eldredge Collection will raise funds for the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN, a cause which is near and dear to the performer’s heart. Monroe Carell is one of the nation's leading children's hospitals.
“I believe Christmas songs capture the light in all of us, letting it shine each winter. I am delighted to partner with Minted on this special initiative and see my song lyrics come to life in a whole new medium as holiday cards,” said Eldredge. “What really is most special to me is that this collection is raising funds for an incredibly important cause. Spreading cheer to hospital patients and their families encapsulates what the holiday season is truly all about.”
“Supporting creatives is central to Minted's mission and we are delighted to partner with the talented singer-songwriter Brett Eldredge to reimagine his beautiful lyrics as holiday cards featuring designs from our community of independent artists,” said Minted co-Founder and CEO Melissa Kim. “The holiday season is all about connection and spreading love, compassion and gratitude. Minted is honored to play a role in joyful traditions such as sending holiday cards, entertaining loved ones and gift-giving, all while raising funds for a noble cause with this collection.”
“We are honored to be the beneficiary of the collaboration between our friend, Brett Eldredge, and Minted this holiday season,” said Meg Rush, MD, MMHC, President of Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. “At Monroe Carell, we provide quality, compassionate care for children and families, often in their time of greatest need.
