delighters
Sources of pleasure
Delighters are features, qualities, or experiences that exceed expectations and create genuine pleasure.
The term appears most often in product design and customer service contexts, where it distinguishes between basics that customers expect and extras that surprise them: The free upgrade was a delighter.
Something that merely satisfies isn't a delighter—the word implies going beyond the adequate to produce real enjoyment.
