about us

At Humans in Development, we make gifts that just get people.

The kind that make someone say:

“This is so them!”

Or even better — “This is me, exactly as I am.”

We’re for the real ones.

The wise, the witty, the beautifully imperfect.

The ones who’ve lived enough to know that life doesn’t always go to plan… and that’s okay.

You’ve earned the right to laugh at the mess, skip the small talk, and give gifts that actually mean something.

Our products aren’t just a bit quirky.

They’re warm, relatable, and rooted in real life.

Whether it’s a mug, a tee, a card, or a bundle of all three, our gifts bring smiles, start conversations, and make people feel seen.

Because by now, you know that gifting isn’t about stuff.

It’s about connection, humor, and heart.

And here’s the best part:

10% of every order goes to Destiny Rescue, helping children escape exploitation and step into safety and freedom.

And when you shop the “I Am a Human in Development” (IAAHID) merchandise range, 100% of the profit is donated to Destiny Rescue.

So while you’re giving someone a reason to smile, you’re also helping a child get the chance to grow up safe, loved, and free.

We’re all just humans in development — no matter how many birthdays we’ve had.

Let’s be proud to say it loud.
