ENJOY! curated gifts from joy the baker
UPDATE! Thank you to everyone who signed up for ENJOY! Subscriptions are now full and closed until the next round of gifting in February. Love to you all! Joy
I’ve been cooking up a little something for you! It’s not brownies or cheesecake but I hope you like it all the same!
It’s mail. It’s cute surprises in your mailbox that are not bills or flyers. It’s real-life gifts to yourself or for a friend! Let me explain how this works.
ENJOY! is a subscription gift program. It’s a mystery gift delivered right to your door. Like a wine of the month club… only better!
Every three months I pair up with a different cool, quirky company and hand select a unique little gift package for you. It could be a cool kitchen item. It could be something for you to carry in your purse. It could be a little something for your vanity. Whatever it is, it’s a new and exciting thing that arrives in your mailbox every three months. …We’re not talking freebies or samples… we’re talking full-on awesome gifts!
ENJOY! subscriptions would be an awesome gift for you, a sweet holiday surprise for a friend… or maybe you want to subtly forward this post to your significant other. Holiday gift, hint hint… nudge nudge! Tell them that it’s way better than a wine of the month club. And if you sign up for this season, your gift will be there in time for the holidays!
ENJOY! gifts will be shipped in time for the holiday season. Surprise yourself! Surprise a friend! Surprise your wife! Heck, have someone order it for you and act surprised when it arrives.
Cost of subscription is $25- charged every three months for as long as you’re a subscriber. That’s if you’re in the US. If you’re international, subscriptions are $30- charged every three months for as long as you’re a subscriber. Each gift is worth more than the cost of subscription… so it’s a deal and a treat all in one. I love it and I want you to love it too. Think of it as that little treat that helps keep you (and your friends) sane.
Subscription spaces are limited.

This is great, I want to sign up but I live in a remote community in australia that is a dry community (alcohol is illegal). If alcohol is a gift one time how can I ensure that i wont be sent it?
alcohol is such a difficult thing to send, you can rest assured it will never be a gifted item!
Thank you, good to know
AWESOME! I’m about to order a subscription for my best friend. Are you also going to be sending a little blip explaining the subscription with the first gift?
If not, I’ll pay pal message you something to send to her. :)
YOU’RE THE BEST!
Saawwweeet! I am totally excited about this. My husband was right next to me when I read this post. Christmas present, here I come!
Hi Joy! I SO want to do this. but for some reason paypal and i are in a fight, and it won’t let me log on or create a new account (since i have the same payment info), so i can’t get this ordered through paypal tonight because i will have to talk to someone on the phone to resolve it. is there any other way i can get payment to you and subscribe? please?
Hi Joy,
I just ordered 2 of your curated gifts for my sister and daughter. I didn’t see anywhere on Paypal how to send the gifts directly to them. I’m sure it is my “user error” but thought I would run it past you. Thanks Joy, hope you are feeling better <3
hi joy! i love this idea, so exciting! i have sent a payment through paypal, however realised too late that my VERY old address is in there. i’m wondering if i can email you my new one, but couldn’t find an email address on your site. my email is becglen@gmail.com if you don’t mind.
sorry for making this hard! bec
Done and excited!
Hi Joy!
I live in Delhi, India… will you be shipping here? Also, sometimes we have a voltage problem with things from the US cos of the 110 / 220 V difference… do you suppose that is something I should be concerned about?
Love your site!
Mansi
where do you sign up?
Did I miss the deadline? I can’t find where to sign up.
this is toootally cool. tis a brilliant idea! you do way cool things.
Can I still sign up? I don’t see any sign up buttons anywhere. I so want to do this.
I love this idea! Joy, you are amazing at what you come up with. Can’t wait for February so I can get on the next list!

Oh my! You just don’t stop, do you?! (PS. Don’t stop) I did drop an unsubtle hint to the husband. His interest piqued. I hope that will turn into something on my doorstep. (I had to look up how to spell piqued).
hey joy,
can you let us know what the first present is once they are sent out? i missed the cut off, but i’d love to know!
Oh man! Missed it :( something to look forward to in february!
I’m guessing there’s no more chances to sign up? Dang–I missed out!!
Sorry I missed it this time! Can’t wait to sign up in February.
Joy, I have two questions. First, when will the first gifts be shipped? I’m too excited! Second, if I signed up for the subscription this time do I have to resign up next time? Thanks!
Kristin
the gifts will be shipped beginning november 28th. and you’ll be signed up for the next round of gift giving. cancel whenever you’d like.
Thanks for the reply! I’m eagerly waiting the surprise. Wonderful idea!
So very proud of you and your many awesome blessings and new endeavors going on in your life. bitting my nails waiting for February! Go ahead and send some joy handmade edible goodies and I’ll be totally pleased!
How did I overlook this?!! This is fabulous!! Me want! Me want! Boo, do I really have to wait till February for subscriptions to open up again?!
I signed up on PayPal …
Do we get any sort of confirmation of mailing or signing up?
Thanks
paypal should send you something.
JOY-did you mail these out already? I received an email from a company I don’t know -saying a shipment went out to my home address…….hoping it’s part of your “curated gifts” because I don’t want to click on the link in the email…..but dying to know.
Hi Joy, I just noticed my credit card was charged for the “gift” but I haven’t received anything yet. Just wondering when I can expect to receive it…looking forward to the surprise. Thanks!
they’re shipping now! keep an eye out!
Hi Joy -
Unbeknownst to me, Paypal appears to have cancelled my order. I am trying to resolve it with them, is it too late for me to be part of this? Was really looking forward to it.
i’m so sorry jean! subscriptions are now closed for this round! blerg…
there will be another chance to sign up again in february though! so sorry.
Sorry I had to cancel. I notified Paypal and they said to notify you also. I have no idea what I just received—maybe for someone MUCH younger.
Well, dang. I’m very bummed to have to cancel, but after receiving the package it appears I’m too old or unhip to appreciate the gifts. Regifting to my pre-teen niece and nephew. Sorry!
Joy….will you begin accepting a “waiting list” for next subscriptions?
Thanks so much!! I would LOVE to join!
there will be plenty of room for the next sign up come january! get ready!!
Hi Joy,
I sent you an email, but I wanted to make sure this was figured out. My gift somehow got shipped to my billing address instead of my shipping address. The correct address is on PayPal but I just wanted to make sure your records changed so January’s gift goes to the right place.
Thanks!
it you aren’t able to change this via paypal (which seems strange. you should be able to fix it there). Hm… please email me your incorrect address and the correct address. i’ll try to straighten that out for you.
Thank you, Joy!
Hi Joy (or anyone lucky enough to get a subscription),
Can you share with the rest of us what the first package was?!! You know, those of us that sent a hint-heavy email to a significant other… only to have a very sheepish boyfriend admit 2 weeks later that he didn’t realize they would sell out so quickly :-/
I’m dying of curiosity to know what the first package was, so please someone anyone share! :)
Do I need to sign up again in January if I already started my subscription for this month?
Can’t wait to receive the package! I got a shipping notice from what I *think* is the gift place and instantly fell in love with the store. It’s exactly the place I would shop, and I actually even own a few things they have!
ohh – I didnt’ realize items were shipped already -I can’t wait to recieve mine, I love surprises :)
JOY!
Joy.
Seriously. Joy.
So…I’ve totes been a lurker on your (and Tracy’s) website and am ashamed to admit I’ve never made my presence known before. Sorry!!! I did rate your podcast five stars on iTunes though, so hopefully that makes up for it a bit.
That said, I subscribed to Enjoy! and received your gift in the mail today and was so ridiculously stoked. I was excited to get fun mail-and not just bills/junk mail first of all. Then when I opened the package and saw what you sent-it just made my day-no, week. Not only were the items super neat, (that’s right, I said “neat”), but I have to admit something to you-and let me first preface this by saying, I’ve spent two years of my life working on a very popular sitcom and rarely ever got starstruck by any of the actors, guest stars or regular-my excitement at receiving the gift was substantially heightened by realizing you had handwritten a quick little note on the back of your card. Is that weird? Whatevs. I just thought that was super cool-that on top of all the wonderfulness encapsulated in the Enjoy! packages you sent out, you took the time to write a little note. It was the proverbial icing on the cake.
So what this long-winded message of mine was meant to convey (sorry, I’ve always been a bit verbose in emails/texts/and such), was this: Thank you. Thank you for choosing such a neat gift, thank you for taking the time to add a personal touch, thank you for making my week, and thank you for bringing joy (and some seriously excellent food), into my life and the lives of others. Thank you for being you!
Cheers!
this comment is so sweet and thoughtful. you totally made my day with this… seriously.! thank you for taking the time to write it.
i wrote a little note on each individual card. it took me exactly forever, but that you noticed and it means something to you makes it all worth it a million times over. thank you thank you!
A belated note: I live in the metro St. Louis area & was sad I missed out on a potential joy the baker sighting! There are so many wonderful foodie spots here…we even have our own Korean taco truck (Seoul Taco) like what you guys sport in L.A..
Anyway, would advise me how to unsubscribe from the curated gifts subscription? Sorry to ask here, but wasn’t sure exactly how to contact you. Thanks.
Please, please, please, oh please enter my subscription.
subscriptions will open again in February.
I had hoped mine would arrive before Christmas – it doesn’t look that way unless the postal service here in Canada is nice to be in the next two days. Oh well – something to look forward to in the new year.
JOY!
what was in the first round of gifts? and where were they from?!
Will more subscription spots be opening in February?
yes! more subscription spots will open in late january!
To anyone wondering, the first round had gifts from Poketo (http://poketo.com/). They were really kooky and fun! My best friend, in particular, was pleased about receiving the surprise subscription I got her. Thank you, Joy!
How do you unsubscribe?
How do I unsubscribe?
through paypal.
I am really excited about this next round! It’s Late (ish) January! Sign me up!
Hi Joy, How do we cancel our subscription??
Nvm, I figured it out! Thanks!
through paypal! it’s easy!
Just got my second gift yesterday! The box was thoughtful and a never-ending little pile of surprises. Thanks for the recipe, and the handwritten note is a nice touch! You have lovely handwriting.
