Funny Gifts for Barely Functioning Adults

Optimism Optional is your online destination for humour-packed merch that makes the daily chaos a little more manageable. We’re here to brighten your day, one laugh, one sip, and one unapologetically honest design at a time.

It’s okay to not be okay, especially when it feels like you’re constantly trapped in an endless vortex of doom. Sometimes it’s better to just be in the moment, the feeling, and accept that the situation is f****d. We know that life can be chaotic, frustrating, and sometimes downright overwhelming. But we’re here to embrace it, flaws and all.

Our mission is simple, to bring humour, comfort, and a little bit of sanity to your everyday. Whether you’re battling through endless meetings, staring at a never-ending to-do list, or just trying to make it to the weekend, we’ve got you covered.  Our relatable mugs say what you’re really thinking when you’re too tired to form a coherent thought. 

We hope our products help make the daily grind a little more bearable with mugs, office gear, and gifts that don’t just poke fun at the chaos—they celebrate it. So, pour yourself a drink, embrace the chaos, and remember: life’s too short to pretend you’re okay all the time.

Our collection of mugs and quirky gifts are designed to remind you that while life at work might not always be perfect, it’s at least a little more bearable with a good laugh (and a cup of coffee in hand).

Optimism is OPTIONAL—a side dish to life’s chaos, best served only when you’re in the mood for it.  We’re all in this together—mildly over-caffeinated, under-slept, and somehow still making it. Cheers to that.

Stay caffeinated, stay sane, and never forget: you’ve got this…sort of.
