The Legend of the Tipsy Turtle

Every brand has an origin story. Ours begins with a very slow turtle and a very tired human.

One particularly chaotic week at work, a mug arrived on the wrong desk with the words: “Relax, I have a spreadsheet for that.” Five people laughed. Two asked where it came from. One person spilled their coffee. And in that moment, the idea for Tipsy Turtle was born.

Why a turtle? Because turtles move at their own pace — and honestly, so should we. But ours is a tipsy turtle, because life gets messy, days get weird, and a little wobble never hurt anybody.

Tipsy Turtle is built on the joy of silly, feel-good, “that is SO me” products that brighten your day, your desk, or your bestie’s birthday. We celebrate the moments that make life fun: spreadsheets, inside jokes, office chaos, messy mornings, random giggles, and all.

From a tiny idea to a growing Aussie small business, we’re here to bring humour, colour, and personality into the everyday. One cup, gift, or cheeky quote at a time.
