Two Tumbleweeds

What Two Tumbleweeds does

Two Tumbleweeds (legally Two Tumbleweeds LLC) is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce company founded in 2013 in Colorado, USA, by sisters Liz and Sarah. The company designs, manufactures, and sells consumer products centered on dice-based inspiration tools and paper planning systems, primarily targeting gift-giving consumers across the United States. Co-founder Sarah Downey serves as Business Director.

The product portfolio spans approximately 18 SKUs across three collections. The Inspiration Dice line includes Art Dice, Writing Dice, Foodie Dice, Activity Dice, Mixology Dice (advertised at up to 1.5 million combinations), and Date Night Dice—each designed to prompt creativity or activity selection through randomized combinations. The Hatch collection features a proprietary 3-step planning notebook system alongside weekly/daily planners, meal planning pads, grocery lists, meeting notes, project planners, and to-do lists. The company holds registered US trademarks for "Foodie Dice®" and "Hatch®," which constitute its primary legal intangible assets.

The business model combines direct-to-consumer sales via Shopify with a USA-only shipping footprint, complemented by two secondary channels: wholesale distribution through the Faire marketplace and a B2B/corporate gifting program with custom branding. Product pricing spans roughly $10–$32 per SKU, implying a low average order value and a distributed, long-tail customer base. The company is bootstrap with no institutional funding disclosed, and marketing relies on standard paid acquisition through Facebook, Google, and Bing retargeting rather than differentiated growth infrastructure.
