About Us

our story
in celebrating the simple things in life, all that is memorable, our quirks, and distinctions, and the everyday moments that keep life interesting, Stay Lifted Corporation offers a unique collection of greeting cards, folded notes, invitations, journals, gift tags, calendars, favors and accessories for every occasion and for no reason at all.  Stay Lifted was started with a basic idea: offer multicultural stationery that is stylish, unique, and relevant, and donate a portion of the profit from every purchase to charity.  then we decided to take that concept one step further by narrowing the focus to celebrating women.
