A Wish Board is a shared digital board where teammates post messages, GIFs, and photos for a colleague's special moment — a birthday, work anniversary, a farewell, a milestone. Each post becomes part of the board, and at the end of the celebration window everything is compiled into a [Yearbook](/employees/engagement/yearbook) the colleague can keep. From a celebration card on the [Celebrations](/employees/socials/celebrations) page or feed, click **Open Wishboard** to reach the board.
