We love the Polaroid Mint Instant Camera & Printer for its usefulness, versatility, and oh-so-sleek looks. When you snap a picture with the Mint, you decide what to do with it. Print it out on eco-friendly Zink paper if you like or save it to a memory card to share on social media or to edit on your computer later. Brilliant, right? If you're looking to add bling to your Mint, need a portable power source, or want a few extras, we have you covered. Investing in these accessories is money well spent.
Stock up on photo paper
Polaroid Premium Zink Photo Paper 30-Pack
Staff Pick
All the magic of the Polaroid Mint happens in the printer. Make sure you always have photo paper on-hand with this 30-pack from Zink. Zink paper is less wasteful than the vintage film of the 1980s. There are no cartridges, toners, or even ink with Zink. Instead, it's a natural print solution that uses heat to transfer your images to water and tear-resistant sheets of paper. And you can never have enough paper, right? Grab this 30-pack to tuck away for safekeeping, so it's always on-hand when needed.
Store lots of pictures in memory
SanDisk Ultra 256GB MicroSD Card
One of the shining features of the Polaroid Mint is its ability to save photos in memory as well as print them out. The SanDisk Ultra 256GB memory card gives you enough room to store all your vacation photos and then some. Transfer pics from your camera to your computer at speeds up to 100MBs per second, which means you can move up to 1,000 photos per minute. The SanDisk Ultra kit includes the MicroSD card, an adapter, and a 10-year warranty. You can't beat that!
A smaller, budget memory card
Silicon Power 64GB MicroSD Card
Not everyone needs oodles of space on their memory card that they'll never use. You wouldn't buy a giant suitcase for a short two-day weekend trip, would you? This 64GB MicroSD from Silicon Power still holds thousands of photos and comes at a budget price that makes our stingy hearts smile. You'll get the MicroSD card, an adapter for your computer, and a 5-year warranty with Silicon Power.
DIY frames
Zink Square Frames

Alternatively, frames can sit on bookshelves, nightstands, and desks to keep your memories close. This bundle makes a great gift or decoration for parties!
Free up your outlets
AmazonBasics Dual-Port USB Wall Charger
The Mint comes with a USB cable and charger, but you can double your outlet's output and save time with AmazonBasic's Dual-Port USB Wall Charger. Charge your camera and another device at the same time using only one outlet. This is a compact unit with a folding plug that makes it a great travel companion. The AmazonBasic's 1-year warranty also covers it.
Add your own border
Zink Border Stickers
Zink Border Stickers are a cool way to spice up your Polaroid photographs and add a touch that's all your own. And they're easy to use. You peel the back off the border, align it with your photo, and stick it to your pic. This collection includes 100 border stickers in a variety of colors and patterns.
Leave love notes in the borders
Shuttle Art Fine Point Markers
Half the fun of taking instant photos comes after you print the picture. Thanks to the wide border on photo paper, you can leave notes and draw designs, adding a unique touch to every photograph you take and share. This 30-pack of fine point permanent markers from Shuttle Art is perfect for Polaroid prints. Ink is vivid, quick-drying, and fade-resistant.
Decorate to your heart's content
Polaroid 50+ Sticker Set
The Polaroid Sticker Set comes with more than 50 bright, one-of-a-kind stickers. Use them to personalize the borders of your photographs or stick them on your camera. The stickers are easy to apply, stay on firmly, and the edges never peel. They can also be removed without trouble when you want to switch things up.

A few thoughts before I go
Today's modern-looking instant cameras also come with heaps of new tech inside. Those forward-thinking integrations mean less ink and paper waste and cleaner, brighter images. It's a win-win. The Polaroid Mint Camera & Printer is one of our favorite instant cameras this year.

For photo storage, we hang our hats on the SanDisk Ultra 256GB Memory Card. It can hold a ton of photos, transfer speeds happen lickety-split, and it's backed by a 10-year warranty.
