When we say that we, at Impish, are one big dysfunctional family, we're not lying. You may be asking yourself --
"So, who exactly is Impish Greetings?"
Well, we're glad you asked. The Impish family is comprised of a merry band of lunatics who also call each other family.
- The Evil Masterminds -
The creators of Impish are Belly and Jenn. We are the curators of all things snarky, sarcastic, and wildly inappropriate. Impish Greetings has been our brainchild, our heart, soul and tiger blood since we first created it. Sarcasm is our love language.
Jenn (moi), otherwise known as Mamanewnee, serves as the head matriarch of the operation - in business and otherwise. For the past 30 years, I have managed not only to not kill all of my children but I actually, sort of like them. Just how did I do it?
The answer is simple... A lot of humor!
Belly is the youngest of the Bongiovi girls and has worked tirelessly to make the Impish dream a reality. I like to refer to her as my mini-me. She seamlessly turns chaos into order and is a whiz in all things kitsch, sarcasm, and general fabulousness! Impish would not exist without her.
- It Takes A Village -
Belly and I could not have made Impish a reality without giant support from this insane, dysfunctional and very loving family, Let's meet them, shall we?
Jenn's partner, Lance, has been Impish Greetings number one cheerleader. He is always around for comic relief but is busy running our other family business, Wantz and Kneads. Wantz and Kneads is a Ventura County bakery which can be seen and savored at several farmer's markets in the Conejo Valley. If you enjoy carbs or happiness, for that matter, you should really check it out.
The eldest of the Bongiovi clan is Taylor Bongiovi-Snowden who has managed to escape the fray and works alongside her husband Ryan Snowden at Trader Joes in the San Fernando Valley. Coincidentally, Ryan serves as our uber talented graphic designer! When something on our site looks cool, Ryan has usually played a part in it.
Next in the Bongiovi line of succession is Moe Bongiovi, who is currently pursuing their dream career in media archiving but also helps Belly and I behind the scenes. They are also our resident cosmetologist and make all of us look really frigging good all the time.
Last, but certainly not least, is our token boy, Jojo Bongiovi. Jojo is currently attending Moorpark College while pursuing his dream of becoming an actor. Until Hollywood comes calling, however, he remains firmly entrenched as Impish's Chief Doer of Stuff. Need inventory moved? Ask Jojo. Need boxes packed? Ask Jojo. Oh, and he asked to be on the website, so here he is...
But Wait... We're Not Done Yet!!
Finally, our Impish family would hardly be complete without mentioning our Impish Pets! Get ready, there's a lot -- Jimmy, Finn, Frankie, Jax, Willy, Bats, Savior, Guppy, Shelby, Greg and little Mitts. Whew, we told you! Our Impish pets are as much a part of the family as any of us and they keep us going and laughing. Also, they don't talk back which is more I can say for my kids!
- Giving Back -
Because we are a lover of animals, Belly and I have made the commitment to donate a portion of our sales to the Agoura Animal Shelter. After all, animals make us better people.
- We're So Glad You're Here -
So as you can see, at Impish Greetings, we're more than a business. We're a family that somehow decided turning sarcasm, irreverence, and questionable humor into a company was an excellent idea. So far, no one has stopped us.
Thank you for supporting our small family business. Every order helps keep this wonderfully weird operation running—and gives us more opportunities to lovingly boss each other around.
Welcome to the Impish family.
