    Our history with fun is one that spans for the better part of the last century. Founded in 1932, we became a major supplier of novelties to the U.S. carnival trade in the 1950s before expanding in the succeeding decades through catalogs, direct marketing and eventually the internet in 1999.

    In 2012, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway saw tremendous value and growth opportunity in Oriental Trading and made the decision to purchase our company. Shortly after, Oriental Trading acquired two companies that aligned with our mission: MindWare, a manufacturer, wholesaler and direct retailer of “brainy toys for kids of all ages,” and SmileMakers, a leading brand specializing in patient giveaways and promotion products for dental and healthcare markets. To better meet the needs of our customers, Oriental Trading created several new brands in 2017; Marry Me, Fun365, and CustomFun365.
