Designed by the Enchant team, each drawer holds a special Christmas wish — a suggested activity for you and your loved ones to enjoy together, year after year. Drawers can also hold small gifts, treats, photos, personal notes, or anything else that brings your holiday to life

After being introduced to CBD and the benefits of how it was affecting our active lifestyles, Drink For Joy founders, Jeff, Thomas, and Jeff found themselves quickly begin searching for a CBD beverage that was tasty and free of any artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors, and even natural flavoring. It was at this time that the concept of For Joy was conceived. They wanted to create something that they could drink daily that they knew would only enhance their mind, body, and spirit and not have to worry about funny sugars and chemicals for flavors. They wanted a whole product that was beneficial, not just the CBD. Whether you are stressed out and your emotions are high or feel a bit gloomy, CBD can always get you back to neutral. Drink For Joy is a brand made to spread joy to the world.
