Our history with fun is one that spans for the better part of the last century. Founded in 1932, Oriental Trading became a major supplier of novelties and gifts to the U.S. carnival trade in the 1950s before expanding in the succeeding decades through catalogs, direct marketing and eventually the Internet. Our website launched in 1999, introducing us as an online retailer to an ever-growing number of customers.
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 Fun365 in 2017. Fun365 is a one-of-a-kind inspiration destination that features thousands of share-worthy craft and party ideas, each one including a digital shopping list with all the needed supplies.
