About Joy

Joy’s journey began with a simple belief: everyday moments should feel beautiful.

Welcome to Joy’s Gifts & Accessories, a place where art, nature, and daily life come together. What started as a love for creativity, photography, and a really good cup of coffee has grown into a thoughtfully curated collection of functional art—pieces designed to spark joy, inspire calm, and bring a little escape into your routine.

In 2018, founder Joy Garafola set out to turn her passion for art and the natural world into something people could hold, use, and enjoy every day. As an award-winning photographer, Joy has always been drawn to nature’s quiet magic—floral details, endless skies, ocean waves, and serene coastal moments. Her camera became a way to capture those fleeting feelings of peace, movement, and wonder.

That passion led to the creation of JoyGarafolaArt.com, where her photography comes to life across thoughtfully designed collections, including her Yoga Collection, Travel Collection, and Weekender Bags. Each piece is created from Joy’s original nature-inspired images, transforming her photographs into wearable, usable art that travels with you—whether you’re heading to the yoga studio, packing for a weekend getaway, or simply creating calm in your everyday routine.

While many know us for our signature 3D mugs, the journey doesn’t stop there. Joy’s creativity flows across a wide range of products—mugs, coasters, cell phone MAG cases, sneakers, yoga mats, weekender bags, and more—each one inspired by the colors, textures, and rhythms of the natural world.

Our mugs remain at the heart of the story. Each design is a canvas, capturing tranquil beach scenes, rolling waves, vibrant coral reefs, and sky-filled horizons. Designed to transport you, they turn morning coffee or evening tea into a peaceful pause—a small, joyful escape.

Quality and care are woven into everything we do. Every item is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, because beautiful design should also be durable and meaningful. Many of our products can be personalized, making them one-of-a-kind keepsakes or heartfelt gifts created with intention.

Joy’s Gifts & Accessories is for coffee lovers, nature dreamers, travelers, yogis, and gift-givers. It’s for those who believe art belongs in everyday life—not just on walls, but in the moments we live each day.

Thank you for being part of Joy’s journey. We’re so glad you’re here.

Welcome to Joy’s Gifts & Accessories—where art meets life, and joy is always within reach.
