Moments That Have Made Us Smile: Real Stories from Our SevenYays Family

There's something absolutely magical about reading through your messages and reviews. Every single one tells a story – not just about gifts, but about relationships, surprises, and those precious moments that make us all go "aww."
We've been collecting these little gems, and honestly, they've been the highlight of our week. So grab a cuppa and settle in for some proper feel-good reading.
The anticipation is half the fun
Charlotte perfectly captured what we love most about the SevenYays experience:
"I absolutely love my box! I bought the empty fill your own box and love it. I'm having so much fun searching for the perfect little gifts for my niece's 18th birthday. Don't know who's going to be more excited, her or me watching her open it! A great idea!"
This is exactly what we're talking about! Sometimes the person giving the gift gets just as much joy from the whole experience. Charlotte's having a brilliant time curating each little surprise, and we bet her niece is going to be absolutely chuffed.
Love knows no distance
Carmen's story had us reaching for the tissues:
"I bought this and sent it to my daughter in Australia. She's on day one and so far so good! It's all beautifully packaged and a great choice of gifts."
There's something really special about being able to send daily reminders that you're thinking of someone, especially when they're on the other side of the world. Seven little moments of connection across thousands of miles? That's pretty amazing.
The gift that keeps giving (and giving...)
Annette is clearly one of our biggest fans, and we absolutely love her enthusiasm:
"I have sent several SevenYays to family and friends. They are always well received and enjoyed by the recipients. The latest one sent to a friend was a real surprise to her as she hadn't heard of it before and she enjoyed discovering a different surprise each day. I like that you can choose individual items to suit who you are sending it to, and there is a good range of items to pick from."
This is what we call a SevenYays convert! There's nothing quite like that moment when someone discovers the concept for the first time. That daily anticipation, the little "what's behind door number three?" excitement – it never gets old.
Making milestone birthdays memorable
When you're stuck on what to get someone for a big birthday, Evelyn found the perfect solution:
"This was a 40th birthday present for my daughter in law and she absolutely loved it! I had no idea what to get her and saw this and have since recommended to other people."
Those milestone birthdays can be properly tricky, can't they? But seven days of surprises? That's a celebration that lasts more than just one day. And now she's sharing the love with others – that's the SevenYays spirit!
From grandparents with love
Carol melted our hearts with this sweet message:
"Ordered for my granddaughters 14th birthday, I was so happy with the things in the box as was my granddaughter."
There's something really lovely about grandparents getting involved with SevenYays. Fourteen is such a fun age, and getting that perfect mix of treats that'll make a teenager happy? That's no easy feat, but Carol absolutely nailed it.
The joy of personalisation
Julie discovered the magic of creating something truly personal:
"Very happy with the 7 day box that I filled for my friends 50th she was so amazed with the thought and different it is to receive, she was well impressed."
This is what we love about our fill-your-own boxes. Julie took the time to think about what would make her friend smile each day. That level of thoughtfulness? It shows.
Starting new traditions
Nicholas found a brilliant way to make his wife's birthday week extra special:
"My wife really enjoyed the idea of having a new gift each day on the run up to her birthday. It was great that I could choose what gifts she received."
Now this is what we call birthday goals! Instead of just one day of celebration, Nicholas created a whole week of anticipation and surprises. We have a feeling this might become an annual tradition.
The discovery moment
Sometimes the best reactions come from people who've never heard of us before. One of our customers shared:
"Love my SevenYays box, brilliant idea, wish I had known about it before ☺️" - Sharon
That moment of discovery – when someone realises they've found something really special – never fails to make us smile.
Why these moments matter
Every single one of these stories reminds us why we do what we do. It's not just about the lovely products we curate (though we're pretty chuffed with those too). It's about creating opportunities for joy, surprise, and connection.
Whether someone's choosing to fill their own box with carefully selected treats or trusting us to curate something special, every SevenYays box becomes part of someone's story. And honestly? That's the best feeling in the world.
