Hi, I’m Desiree — founder of Yay! Gifts and Cards.
I started Yay! after years in marketing, where I saw how often “appreciation” turned into branded stuff that didn’t actually make people feel valued.
Today, I work with businesses who want recognition to feel personal, thoughtful, and easy — without sounding salesy or promotional.
When people feel seen, they remember the moment.
And that’s the magic behind every Yay Moment™.
Whether you’re choosing meaningful gifts for business occasions or personal moments, my approach stays the same: thoughtful, guided, and intentional.
Appreciation Should Feel Personal — Not Performative
Thoughtful gifting isn’t about branded swag — it’s about creating connection, meaning, and moments people remember.
What Is a Yay Moment™?
Some of the most powerful moments happen before a gift is even opened:
- Watching a name engraved
- Realizing it’s just for them
- That pause. That smile.
That’s the Yay Moment™ — the emotional core of every project we take on.
Whether it’s a corporate retreat, a client thank-you, or an appreciation event, we help you create a moment people remember long after it’s passed.
