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; two actual children (sons tanner & landon), one fur child (hadley, a very naughty golden retriever) and one giant baby (my husband bobi!).

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 ‘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 ‘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.
