About Us
We ship both childrens and Adult novelty items to make you smile to customers around the world. We specialise in gifts for people who are looking for something a little bit different.
Hi, everyone! We’re Ian and Sam, the founders of Funny Gift Store, and our mission is to bring humor and joy into everyday life with our quirky, novelty gifts. It all began in June 2021, when Ian, a web designer, and Sam, a passionate crafter, decided to take a risk and start something fun and different. Frustrated with the daily grind of the 9-5, we launched our business in the middle of a global pandemic, determined to create a better life for our family—and we haven’t looked back since!
Ian – The tech mastermind behind this operation
Ian is also the owner of Smart Website Designers, one of the highest-rated web design agencies in Wales. A passionate Cardiff City fan and a Foo Fighters enthusiast, Ian brings years of web design and digital marketing expertise to the table. He’s built some of the largest humor websites on the planet, and he’s proud to apply those skills to this store. He loves talking about his successes, but don’t worry—Sam keeps him grounded!
Sam – The creative genius behind Funny Gift Store
Sam has been crafting for as long as she can remember. She’s in charge of all things design, and nothing leaves the workshop without her approval. Sam has an eye for detail, ensuring every product we make meets our high standards. A massive Monty Don fan (and she’ll tell you she’d marry him if she could), Sam’s creativity is the driving force behind our unique and fun offerings.
We’re a family-run business, and our home is full of love and laughter, shared with our cat, Little One; Kevin, the tortoise; our guinea pigs, Angela and Regina; and Plec, the fish. Family is at the core of everything we do, and we take great pride in every order that goes out the door. We never scrimp on quality—everything is made with high-quality materials, hand-packaged, and handled with care.
We are deeply proud of our Welsh heritage, and you’ll see nods to it throughout our site—whether it’s a cheeky “cwtch” or a “tidy” thrown in for good measure. Our designs evolve with the latest trends, and we aim to keep things fresh, fun, and exciting. Whenever possible, we also source our materials locally, supporting our community.
And, if you’re an artist with some weird and wacky ideas, we’d love to hear from you! We’re always on the lookout for new, creative designs to add to our store.
Thank you for supporting our dream. Diolch yn fawr (thanks a lot) for being a part of our journey, and for helping us bring smiles and laughter to people around the world!
