Chucklebrush: Heartfelt Humor, Handcrafted with Love

We are passionate gift givers.

You could say gift-giving is our love language (followed closely by snacks!). We would often find ourselves spending hours or even days researching The Perfect Gift™ for our friends and family. You’ve probably been there yourself, scrolling on the dreaded umpteenth page of Google or endless social media posts for that perfect meaningful gift. 

Too often we would get frustrated with not being able to find a custom gift that matched the specific personalities and interests of our loved ones. After far too many “Cripes!” and “Oh fer Pete’s sakes!” we decided instead of buying something overpriced and sort of meaningful, we were going to try to make our own gifts that were heartfelt, humorous and handmade. 

That first Christmas, we hit the gift giving game out of the park. Upon opening our gifts, Katie’s Nana had tears in her eyes and Shannon’s sisters were howling with laughter. Not to mention we had so much fun crafting personalized gifts for everyone!

Today we are unleashing our handmade gift giving shenanigans into the world with our small family business: Chucklebrush Designs. Currently we are hard at work to bring some of our most heartfelt and hilarious creations to life to share with you and your family. We hope you enjoy our Chucklebrush products.

Our Awesome Team

Creating inspired gifts, just for you!

Katie

Founder, Designer & Customer Service

Katie dreams up almost all of the heartfelt (and sometimes weird) designs for Chucklebrush. She loves bright colors, beautiful patterns, watching the northern lights, photography and exploring the wild Minnesota northwoods, dontcha know! 

Shannon

Co-Founder​ & Unofficial Cat Dad

Shannon provides invaluable business mentoring and moral support for the Chucklebrush crew. You betcha he keeps the team on track and creating new products, which can be a bit tricky when we’ve come up with an especially funny design!

Tubbs

Chief Inspiration Officer & Adopted Cat

Tubbs is not our cat but pretty much runs our lives. She provides the Chucklebrush crew with inspiration, cuddles and never-ending laughs. Tubbs has a perma-blep tongue that sticks out and is great friends with the local toad population.

Behind the Scenes at Chucklebrush

During the long Minnesota winters, one of our fav activities is to watch the northern lights on the frozen lake.

Our neighborhood cat Tubbs is very friendly, especially with the local toads. Her antics keep us inspired and happy!

One of the ways we get inspiration for our next designs is while hiking on our local trails in Minnesota. You betcha!

Our trailside doodles often help inspire our next designs.

We got into candle making to brighten up the chilly northwoods winter nights. It’s so fun creating custom candles!

Obligatory Tubbs the Cat photo – how can you not be inspired by her cuteness?!

When we’re not designing, we love to explore the Minnesota northwoods.

For our apparel, we partner with a local print shop to craft our creations. They are AMAZING human beings – thanks Matt!

Watercolor is one of our favorite mediums for designing our gifts!

Tubbs the cat constantly provides us with inspiration for our next designs and stress relief with her silly antics.

Follow our journey on social media – it’s pretty entertaining!
