Our Story

My path to creating Yay! Gifts and Cards wasn't always a straight line, but it always centered on a love for connecting with people and helping share their stories.

This initially led me to the world of digital marketing, where I had the privilege of working with some incredible small businesses and non-profits (organizations like Meals on Wheels America and Project Angel Heart hold a special place in my heart).

Then, during the unique times of the pandemic, something wonderful happened. My husband and I rediscovered the immense joy of creating with our hands.

It wasn’t about chasing perfection, but about crafting things that were genuinely fun, deeply meaningful, and brought a smile to someone's face – that little spark of happiness.

That's when the big "Aha!" moment struck: What if I could create gifts that did more than just look beautiful? What if they could tell a personal story, spark laughter, or make someone feel profoundly appreciated and seen?

That feeling, that burst of delight – that was the kind of "YAY!" I wanted to help spread.

And so, Yay! Gifts and Cards was born!

Today, that passion for creating "YAY!" moments is at the heart of everything I do. I focus on creating unique, personalized laser-engraved gifts that capture your story. To ensure your gift is complete, each one is accompanied by a thoughtfully chosen card from our curated collection, ready to express your heartfelt sentiment.

My ultimate goal is to help you spark that unforgettable "YAY!" feeling and create lasting connections. Explore our collections or message me – I'd be thrilled to hear your story and help you create something truly special.
