ShareJoy’s mission is to empower you to cultivate a grateful perspective and recognize opportunities for joy in all circumstances. This is achieved through our provision of thoughtfully-created or carefully-curated tools and gifts that support - among other characteristics - kindness, peace, and joy. All of our unique and meaningful gifts that inspire and spread joy are made with you, our best customer, in mind. We want to serve you in a way that is personal and useful. (We also love to see you smile!) ShareJoy products are sourced and created, as much as reasonably possible, from other local small businesses (Rochester MN and throughout the midwest United States). It is our joy to support other small business owners through collaboration and sustainable practices. Importantly, each year, proceeds from every purchase are given to a charitable organization. Join us and share joy with the community!
