“To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.”
Giving a gift is such a fulfilling feeling. Even if it’s a small little trinket saying “Hey, this made me laugh and I thought of you”. The joy and surprise coming from that friend, loved one, or relative can make your day (and theirs, obviously).

That same feeling is what owner, Kris Carpenter wanted to give Billings when she opened up The Joy of Living. “I felt that Billings was missing a place you could pick up a gift for your girlfriend and find something easy that would fit any budget,” said Carpenter. “Girls like to give their friends gifts. I wanted to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible for them.”

The Joy of Living is conveniently located on the West End off of 24th Street, next to the Carpenter’s other businesses: Sanctuary Salon & Spa and Black Dog Coffee House.
