The Happy Company was founded by Mark Juarez in 1992 around a simple idea: business could succeed by helping people feel better and connect with one another. What began with the Happy Massager grew into something much bigger—a mission to encourage kindness, appreciation, human connection, and happiness in everyday life and the workplace.
More than 10 million Happy Massagers were sold during the company’s first three years, demonstrating how a simple product built around caring and connection could touch millions of lives.
Today, we're bringing that mission back to life through Happy products, inspirational cards, Tiny Books, games, workplace initiatives, and ideas that encourage people to make a positive difference.
Our WHY is simple:
Leave every person, every place, and the planet a little better than you found them.
Because small things can start something big.
The Happy Massager is the original product that started The Happy Company. Created by Mark Juarez, it was designed to help people feel better through the simple experience of massage and caring touch.
But Happy became much more than a massage tool. Its friendly face gave people a reason to smile, start conversations, offer comfort, and show someone they cared.
The Happy Massager can be used for personal massage or shared with another person, following the product instructions and respecting each person's comfort and preferences.
Its greatest magic lies not only in how it feels, but in what happens when one person takes a moment to make another person feel a little better.
The Happy Massager is also a thoughtful gift, a reminder of friendship, and a simple way to express appreciation.
From Happy Massager to Happy Messenger. Feel better. Connect. Pass it on.
The Happy Box brings together thoughtfully designed products and experiences intended to encourage happiness, appreciation, reflection, and human connection.
Depending on the package, it may include:
The original Happy Massager
Happy Cards featuring I AM affirmations, Wisdom, and Appreciation
Inspirational Happy Tiny Books
The Happiness Journey game
A Happy wristband
Happy Stickers and other small surprises
Each item has a purpose.
The Happy Massager encourages caring touch.
The Happy Cards help people express appreciation, reflect on meaningful ideas, and share encouragement.
The Tiny Books offer inspiration and perspectives that can be carried into everyday life.
The Happiness Journey game creates opportunities for conversation and connection.
And the wristbands and stickers provide small reminders to choose kindness, appreciation, and joy.
It's more than a collection of products. It's an invitation to feel better, connect with others, and pass the Happy on.
A little box with a much bigger purpose.
The exact contents will be listed with each available product package.
The Happiness Journey is a noncompetitive game designed to encourage reflection, meaningful conversations, appreciation, and deeper human connection.
Unlike traditional games, where the objective is to defeat other players, The Happiness Journey invites everyone to participate, discover, and grow together.
The playing board is incorporated into the Happy Box itself, transforming the packaging into an interactive experience.
Players move along the journey, using the game's dice and Happy Wisdom Cards to explore ideas, share experiences, and discover new perspectives.
There are no winners or losers. The value comes from the conversations, insights, laughter, and connections created along the way.
The game can be enjoyed with friends, families, colleagues, and groups interested in exploring what makes life meaningful.
Sometimes, a simple question or a shared moment can open the door to something extraordinary.
Happiness isn't just a destination. It's a journey we can take together.
Happy Tiny Books are miniature books filled with ideas, wisdom, inspiration, and encouragement.
Their small size is intentional. They're designed to fit easily into a pocket, purse, or bag, making it possible to carry a little inspiration wherever you go.
Each Tiny Book explores a different aspect of happiness, caring, possibility, or human connection.
Our initial titles include:
The Happy Massager
The Happy Manifesto — All Is Possible
The Happiness Revolution
An additional title, Igniting Workplace Joy, explores appreciation, connection, and happiness in the workplace.
These books are meant to be more than something you read once. They're designed to be revisited, shared, and given to others.
Imagine offering someone a tiny book with a message that arrives at just the right moment.
Sometimes, the smallest gifts create the most meaningful experiences.
Small books. Big perspectives.
We're also developing free digital editions so these ideas can reach and inspire even more people.
Yes! We want Happy to be accessible to individuals, families, businesses, and organizations of all sizes.
Individual orders
We're planning to offer individual Happy products and gift packages through Amazon, making it convenient for customers to purchase and receive them.
Once our Amazon listings are available, you'll be able to access them directly from The Happy Company website.
Bulk and corporate orders
For businesses, organizations, events, employee appreciation programs, and larger purchases, we welcome direct inquiries.
We can discuss your needs, quantities, available products, and potential opportunities for special programs.
While our online purchasing and fulfillment arrangements are being finalized, you're welcome to contact us through our website to inquire about availability and ordering.
Whether you're sharing Happy with one person or one thousand, we'd love to help.
Yes! We believe one of the greatest opportunities for creating a happier world begins in the workplace.
People want more than a paycheck. They want to feel valued, appreciated, connected, and part of something meaningful.
Happy products are designed to encourage those experiences.
They can be used to recognize employees, celebrate milestones, welcome new team members, thank clients, encourage teamwork, and inspire everyday acts of kindness.
But our vision goes beyond giving someone a gift.
We're developing workplace initiatives that encourage appreciation, employee engagement, meaningful connection, and a culture in which people recognize the positive difference they can make.
A small act of appreciation can begin a conversation. A conversation can strengthen a relationship. And stronger relationships can help create a healthier, happier workplace.
Whether you're considering gifts for a small team or exploring a larger employee appreciation initiative, we'd love to hear your ideas.
Let's explore how we can create a happier workplace together.
At The Happy Company, we've always believed that a product should be made with care and built to last.
Mark Juarez remembers his father's advice:
"I'm too poor to buy something cheap."
His father believed that quality mattered and that something worth buying should also be worth keeping.
That philosophy became part of the foundation of The Happy Company.
The original Happy Massager was designed to be a lasting product—something people could use, care for, share, and associate with meaningful memories for years to come.
Our commitment to quality is reflected in the lifetime guarantee associated with the Happy Massager.
We want our customers to feel confident about the products they purchase and the company standing behind them.
For questions about guarantee coverage, eligibility, or assistance with your Happy Massager, please contact us directly.
We want your Happy experience to last.
We believe creating a happier world is something we can accomplish together.

Every organization has its own goals, challenges, and opportunities.
We'd love to learn about yours and explore how we might create something meaningful together.
All Is Possible. Especially when we work together.
Mark Juarez is an entrepreneur, author, inventor, and founder of The Happy Company.
In 1992, he launched the original Happy Massager around a simple belief: a business could succeed by helping people feel better and encouraging human connection.
Within three years, more than 10 million Happy Massagers had been sold, and the company grew into a business generating more than $20 million in annual sales.
The company's entrepreneurial journey and business approach became the subject of two Stanford case studies.
But for Mark, the most important part of the experience was never simply the number of products sold.
It was discovering what could happen when a company built its culture and purpose around caring, appreciation, creativity, and the belief that every individual could make a positive difference.
Today, Mark shares lessons from his entrepreneurial journey, the challenges and opportunities of building a purpose-driven company, and his vision for creating happier workplaces and a more connected world.
Speaking topics may include:
Entrepreneurship and the power of possibility
Creating happier, more engaged workplaces
Appreciation, recognition, and human connection
Creativity, innovation, and building a purpose-driven business
Overcoming challenges and rediscovering purpose
Creating a culture where people feel valued
Mark welcomes invitations from companies, conferences, HR organizations, universities, community groups, and other audiences interested in creating positive change.
To inquire about a speaking engagement, please contact us with information about your event, audience, proposed date, and topics of interest.
We're not here just to make a product. We're here to change the world.
And we believe that begins with the way we treat one another.

Creating a happier world, one small act at a time.
We believe happiness grows when we choose kindness, create meaningful connections, and leave every person, every place, and the planet a little better than we found them.
