Welcome to the Weird Side: Why We Started Have Fun Spread Joy

Welcome to the Weird Side: Why We Started Have Fun Spread Joy

Hi, friend. We’re so glad you’re here.

You’ve landed in the colorful, pun-filled, occasionally rebellious corner of the internet known as Have Fun Spread Joy—an artist-owned, husband-run online shop where cheeky meets charming and your values are always in style.

We make things like:

  • Statement tees for introverts with something to say
  • Mugs that celebrate your dog’s political opinions
  • Prints that honor pop culture icons (Golden Girls and Madonna, anyone
  • Wrapping paper that’s so joyful, it deserves its own standing ovation

If it makes you laugh, feel seen, or want to text your weirdest friend immediately—we probably made it.

💥 Why We Started This

Once upon a very not-chill election year, we looked around and realized two things:

  1. People were exhausted
  2. People still needed joy—especially the kind you can wear, gift, and loudly declare at brunch

So we made our first design: Pearls & Chucks—a love letter to Vice President Kamala Harris, and a joyful little protest you could wear on your chest. That moment became a movement (or at least, a very well-organized sticker collection).

Since then, we’ve built this shop around the things that keep us hopeful:
🗣️ Humor.
🎨 Art.
🌈 Queer joy.
❤️ Loud love.
📢 Woke weirdness.
🐕 And occasionally, a dog in a bandana.

🧠 What We Believe

  • We believe joy is a form of resistance.
  • That design should make you feel something.
  • That the world needs more weird and fewer billionaires.
  • And that wearing your values should feel like slipping into your comfiest, sassiest self.

Also? Puns are valid. Bold fonts are a personality trait. And good mugs are sacred.

🧵 How It’s Made

Everything we sell is:

  • Created by us (yep—designed, drawn, dreamed up by two creative husbands)
  • Ethically sourced and printed
  • Infused with a little theater-kid energy and a lot of “what if we made that but funnier?”

We don’t do mass-produced meh. We make moments. Tiny rebellions. Joy that you can wrap around your shoulders or sip with your coffee.
