About Funtime Gifts
Funtime Gifts has been delighting UK consumers with innovative novelty toys, gadgets, and gifts for over fifty years. Founded from humble beginnings in 1969 when Malcolm Ford first experimented with 3D puzzles while studying civil engineering at Loughborough University, the company was officially incorporated in 1992 and has since grown into one of Britain's leading novelty gift suppliers. The Kent-based company is perhaps best known for introducing the iconic Big Mouth Billy Bass singing fish and Disco Dancing Flowers to UK shores—products that became genuine pop culture phenomena and showcased Funtime's ability to spot innovative electronic toy trends before anyone else. Today, Funtime Gifts offers over 250 different products across numerous categories including STEM and educational toys, classic novelties, gadgets, games, puzzles, lighting, and even confectionery. Their "World's Smallest" range has become a bestseller, offering miniaturised versions of classic toys and games. Traditional favourites like Pin Art, Newton's Cradle, and the Metal Spud Gun have remained in and out of their range for over thirty years, demonstrating the timeless appeal of quality novelty products. With over four decades of experience supplying the UK toy and gift trade, Funtime continues to innovate while honouring nostalgic classics—helping recreate treasured memories while creating new ones for future generations.
