how we blew up

and it was fun. was born in the first melbourne lockdown of 2020 (wasn't that a wild ride?). having been stood down from her job, stef, our founder, wondered what celebrations could possibly look like at such a time.

enter balloons...

bursting to meet you!

hello, hi. i’m stef, the founder of and it was fun.
i’m a mum to four boys; three actual children (sons tanner, landon & brady) and one fur child (hadley, the neediest golden retriever you've ever met).


always the one to come up with creative pressie ideas combined with a background in marketing and events, there was a balloon shaped hole that I thought and it was fun. could fill.

and why the strange name, you might ask? as a kid, i used to conclude every single school journal entry with ā€˜and it was fun’ which became common vernacular within my family. at every celebratory occasion from then on in, we would toast to it being ā€˜and it was fun’.

and that’s what I want this to be - fun, thoughtful, & cheerful bags of air that you can give to your loved ones to brighten their day.
