The full story
Everything to know about Tipsy Elves
Tipsy Elves started as a maker of humorous ugly Christmas sweaters and grew into a wider apparel brand covering holidays and occasions throughout the year. The San Diego company was founded by Evan Mendelsohn and Nick Morton.
The pair came into Season 5 asking for 100,000 dollars for a 5 percent stake. Robert Herjavec agreed on air to 100,000 dollars for 10 percent, double the equity in the original ask.
The pitch centered on ugly Christmas sweaters. The company’s later catalog expanded into clothing for other holidays and occasions.
Where Tipsy Elves is now
Tipsy Elves’ current official store lists Christmas sweaters, Halloween costumes, ski and snow clothing, patriotic apparel and matching outfits. Those listings confirm a range beyond its original Christmas-sweater line.
Tipsy Elves has an active official storefront in 2026. The catalog and current listings provide a buying path, but they do not establish annual revenue, profitability or a ranking among Shark Tank investments.
