As a kid, I quickly found that witty comments and funny retorts got me the attention I craved. As I got older, I’d buy funny cards for family members and celebrated clever puns and quips. Then I discovered there were companies dedicated to making funny, creative gifts, but never imagined at the time that it was possible to make a living off my sense of humor. I grew up, went to college, got a job,
got married, had kids. But the craving for “funny” never left me. In 2014, a few weeks before my family convened for Passover, I came up with a product idea. Instead of buying plain paper hand towels for our bathroom, I created embossed ones saying, “Let My People Go.” (For non-Jewish readers, this phrase serves as a nod to Moses’ famous line, but also a reference to a reality of Passover: matzah is notoriously constipating). I posted pictures of them on my personal page, and they went viral. Today I own and operate Sense & Humor, an online shop featuring original and curated gifts. Our mission is simple: to make people smile and laugh. The next time you need a laugh (or a gift), I hope you’ll visit senseandhumor.com. When you do, I’d love to know which products make you laugh. Please send me a note ([email protected]) to let me know – I promise I’ll write back.
