What Funny Gifts did people want?
Well that’s an easy question to answer, they wanted absolutely anything and everything. We sold out of our funny calendar range by mid December and needed an emergency order delivered. Whoever would have thought that hungover owls would be so popular? Our range of personalised Santa sacks really kicked off in the last part of the month and we were getting orders from all over the world. But it was our staples that really kept us going. Our funny mouse mats, Funny tote bags and Funny notebooks kept flooding in right up until the end. One area that surprised us in terms of sales was the personalised sequin cushions. We loved making these, and we saw some interesting photos that people wanted in their designs. Some were weird, some were rude, but all of them made us laugh.
What we will do differently next year?
One thing that’s for sure is that we need to get on top of our stock levels. We knew we had some great designs and great looking products. But we had no idea how quickly they would sell. For a small company we were ordering 50 or 100 products from our UK supplier. But, going forward we’re now going to spread our wings and source our products directly from China. This means that we can buy in bulk for a fraction of the price. Very grown up and sensible we know. However, we are now confident that next year will be even busier.
As well as designing funny gifts for her and novelty items for him we will also be increasing our pet range. One thing is for sure, people love their 4 legged friends and more importantly for us, they love to buy them presents. So, in the coming months you will see more funny pet gifts being added to our range. We have no idea what our design team are going to come up with yet, but one thing is for sure. They will be rude, crude and weird.
