Manly Man Meathearts
02.12.21
Orange County-based The Manly Man Company recently launched its next viral product in time for Valentine’s Day– Meathearts™, which are mini laser-etched beef jerky hearts, laser engraved with romantic slogans and several meat-themed play-on-words, such as: Beef Mine®, Meat Me, XOXO, Kiss Me, You + Me, and Love.
The Manly Man Company® channeled inspiration from candies traditionally given for Valentine’s Day and primarily marketed as gifts for women, but with a twist to be one of the few Valentine’s gifts intended for men.
Carnivores can now enjoy these 1oz branded packs that include approximately 21 mini beef jerky hearts. Different themes of Meathearts™ are in the works for any occasion, Father’s Day which is Manly Man Co.’s second busiest holiday and also a collection for their non-manly brand that is to be re-launched in time for Mother’s Day.
This veteran-owned company was inspired after a simple conversation between two of the owners, Greg Murray and his wife Jacquie, about how there aren’t any gifts for men equivalent to flowers for women. After that, the couple, along with another friend Ben Wynkoop, who joined them as a third Co-Founder, started The Manly Man Company®. Ever since, the company has been creating quirky and uniquely creative gifts for “him” for different occasions like birthdays and recipients such as co-workers, bosses, and corporate gifting to clients.
With an aim to create unique gifting ideas for men and create jobs in the USA, The Manly Man Company® has only been growing in business and operations. To ensure an experience that rivals the creative and unique additions to their collection of gifting ideas, Manly Man Co.® is heavily invested in infrastructure to provide in house: customer services, order fulfillment, and a certified kitchen.
The Manly Man Company® is headquartered at 26941 Cabot Road, #103, Laguna Hills. 800.366.1147.
