Hi, We're OOLY! We love creating whimsical and colorful products that spark imagination and inspire self-expression, and ultimately make people of all ages smile!
Our founder, Carol Pankiw, has always been passionate about blending creativity with functionality. In 2005, she co-founded International Arrivals, bringing a design-forward touch to stationery and home office supplies. In 2017, Carol rebranded the company to focus on arts and crafts—and that’s when OOLY was born.
It all started with a sparkly, scented favorite: Yummy Yummy Scented Glitter Gel Pens. With over 2 million boxes sold worldwide, they became an instant hit and paved the way for OOLY’s ever-growing collection of unique and innovative products.
Headquartered in Carlsbad, California, OOLY passionately delivers high-quality arts, crafts and school supplies that inspire creativity and self-expression, inviting you to Create Your Happy.
In the press
We're all-in, coloring outside the lines to take full responsibility━no excuses, just bright solutions.
When we put our creative heads together, magic happens━imagination soars, ideas blossom, and fresh visions bring exciting possibilities to life.
Our connections make the world more colorful━we thrive on relationships, loyalty, and a whole lot of fun.
We team up, turn doodles into masterpieces, and lift each other up, one brilliant idea at a time.
We explore with wide-eyed wonder, asking 'what if?' and embracing every shade of possibility.
At OOLY, we believe in the power of creativity and community. That's why we proudly support local nonprofits dedicated to art and children, including Kids For Peace, Adopt A Classroom, ArtReach San Diego, and the Oceanside Museum of Art, among others. Through product donations, raffle baskets, and financial contributions, we help bring artistic expression to schools and community organizations, ensuring more young artists have the tools to dream, create, and inspire.
