About Us

What you REALLY want to say...

Sometimes what you're really thinking changes between your brain and your mouth - a social filter often called tact. Here at Tact Optional, we aim to capture those inner, often much more entertaining, thoughts and place them on apparel, accessories and household items so that others can enjoy your inner monologue...

Unfiltered Thoughts, On Things

At Tact Optional, our mission is to promote light hearted designs that make people laugh when they see them, usually because we've all thought these thoughts, but have chosen not to verbalize them... We feel you should always be able to either boldly or subtly express your thoughts, regardless of where you are - at home, at work, at play.

Our Story

We started our humble business mostly because our family has always enjoyed laughing - at each other and of course at other people. This love of humor, and honestly our penchant for saying funny things, and noticing funny things in the wild, led us to start our own online store so that we could share our quirky sense of humor with anyone who is interested. We enjoy certain topics more than others, but we don't feel the need to restrict our commentary to areas we are experts in - if it is funny, chances are we'll be more than happy to share it, even if it might rub some folks the wrong way - often that is what makes things funny to begin with.

We hope you enjoy our store, and at the very least get a good laugh from the things that show up on our products. We also hope that you may find some of the products funny enough that you have to have it either for yourself or as a gift to someone in your life that needs to have it.

Every item in our store is created on-demand, just for you! Most of our products have a production time of a few days, and follow standard shipping schedules. Rest assured, we'll get your orders to you as quickly as possible, and you will receive notifications as your order progresses, along with tracking information when your order ships. We do our best to ensure that all of our products are shipped from within the United States so that you get your items as quickly as possible.
