So, a lot’s been going on since our last update.  During May the funny gift store team have gone from their boring and mundane jobs to full time business owners. Scary stuff, eh?  These exciting times mean that we are now 100% committed to making our little novelty gift shop in Swansea work.  As you can imagine, it’s a kind of shit or bust scenario. But we love the excitement and fun the next few months are going to bring. As ever, our stock of funny notebooks and mousepads are flying out of the door as quickly as ever, but now our world is about funny cards for every occasion ..read more

Well haven’t we been busy bees since the last time we updated with you?  We have now branched into funny cards and we’re loving this new arm to our business.  With over 400 novelty gifts now live on our website we thought, well why not give it a go.  Initially we only started off with mother’s day cards, but this has very quickly turned into a great big card monster and consumed our lives for the last month.  Our already small workshop space is due to have 1000’s of blank cards and envelopes delivered, and like everything we do, we have gone for it all guns blazing.  ..read more

Hey everyone, the funny gift store would firstly like to start by wishing you a happy new year and welcome to 2022.  While you were all eating your Christmas turkey leftovers and recovering from your hangovers, we were planning our new ranges for the next 12 months. As 2021 was our first year of trading we were pretty inexperienced in what we were doing. Sure, we knew what great novelty gifts looked like, but we had no idea of what would sell and in what quantities.  Now we are gift store ninjas.  Our range of funny notebooks and mousepads have got even bigger, and they are fa ..read more

So that’s it. Our last funny Christmas gifts have been dispatched to our customers in the UK, and it’s safe to safe that it was a crazy experience.

The last 4 weeks of trading were fun, frustrating and tiresome all rolled into one. Previous Next What Funny Gifts did people want? Well that’s an ea ..read more

When our Little Novelty Gift Store in Swansea posted about our 200th product sale it was a proud moment in our business. For an organisation that only started 4 months ago, and has done very little advertising, it made us step back and think wow! But it is safe to say that the last week has shot all of that out of the water. In the last 7 days we have haven’t stopped, so much so that we have churned out 100 sales alone. This takes us over the 300 mark and well on our path to a 4 figure value.  The gift in question was one of our funny mouse pads and a favourite of ours.  It’s cool d ..read more

Well, how cool is this? The funny gift store has just printed it’s 200th Product. Whoever would have thought that personalised gifts in the UK could take off so quickly? We thought that as we were in such a saturated market dealing with adult novelty gifts that our start would be a bit sluggish. How wrong were we.  As we’re coming up to the festive season, it’s only right and proper that the gift that took us over the line was a funny personalised pet Santa sack. These hessian bags make the big day for your pet even more special. As we all know people love to spoil their little 4-legged ..read more

Our Customers Love Us  So, we finally did it. The Funny Gift Store has just passed through 100 sales. Can we get a whoop whoop from everyone please? and didn’t it go quickly?  In case you’re wondering it came from our funny mouse pad range, and it was all thanks to the ever-popular Britney Spears and her click me baby one more time mouse mat. As you can imagine we’re all really impressed with this feat, especially as our little novelty store in Swansea has barely been marketed. Sure, we have put out the odd Facebook post, along with a few tweets and some Instagram stories. But everyt ..read more

As the festive period approaches, we now have all of our preparation done, and it’s time to rock and roll.  As usual, our best sellers for last month were Funny Mousepads and Notebooks.
