Meet the Founder
Sarah Menke-Fish is an educator, communication professional, and founder of
Is It There Yet, a platform that helps turn thoughtful gifts into meaningful moments of connection and gratitude.
Hi, I'm Sarah, founder of Is It There Yet.
Like many people, I've spent years carefully choosing gifts for family and friends, only to wonder afterward: Did it arrive? Did they see it? Should I follow up, or will that feel awkward?
And I've been on the other side, too. More than once, I've received a gift, felt genuinely touched, and meant to say thank you right away. Then work, family, and everyday life took over, and somehow the note never got sent. It can happen to any of us.
That's what sparked the idea for Is It There Yet
In a world where we can track a package every mile of its journey, there still isn't an easy way to connect the final step: letting the giver know their gift arrived and was appreciated.
Â
My goal is simple: make gift-giving a little less stressful and a little more joyful. Is It There Yet was created to bridge the communication gap that often follows a gift, making it easy for recipients to acknowledge a thoughtful gesture and for gift givers to feel reassured that it was received and appreciated.
Â
Because giving a gift isn't a transaction. It's a connection.
My background is in education, communication, and experiential learning. Over the years, I've taught middle and high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals in government agencies. Throughout my career, I've been passionate about helping people connect, communicate more effectively, and build stronger relationships. Is It There Yet is an extension of those values, bringing a little more connection, appreciation, and peace of mind to the gift-giving experience.
At its heart, Is It There Yet isn’t really about packages. It’s about people–the grandmother wondering if her grandchild received a birthday gift, the friend sending a wedding present, or anyone who simply wants to know their thoughtful gesture arrived safely.
Gratitude should be easy, communication should be simple, and gift giving should feel good from beginning to end.
Thank you for joining me in bringing a little more gratitude and connection into the world.

Maryland-Based & Woman-Owned
Proudly Based in Maryland
Rooted in Iowa Values
Built for Everyone
Although Is It There Yet is proudly based in Maryland, its roots reach back to my upbringing on a farm in Iowa, where I learned the importance of community, kindness, and looking out for one another. Whether it was helping a neighbor or expressing appreciation for a thoughtful gesture, connection was part of everyday life. Those values continue to guide our mission: helping thoughtful gifts become meaningful moments of connection and gratitude. As a woman-owned small business, we believe the personal touch still matters, no matter who you're celebrating or where you call home.
