Everything you need to know about Work For Gum

The Basics

What is Work For Gum?

Work For Gum is a cheeky merch brand for the perpetually hustling and slightly hopeful. Tees, hoodies, hats, and stickers that say what we're all thinking: in this economy, I'll work for gum. Soft fits, dumb jokes, and Gum Rewards on every order.

Do you actually pay people in gum?

Ha, no. The "gum" is the joke — it's a sign-on-the-corner bit about hustling in a rough economy. The only Gum here is our rewards program (see below), which is store credit, not chewing gum. Probably.

Where do I shop?

Right here. Head to our merch page for the full lineup — tees, hoodies, hats, and more. Want a heads-up on new drops? Get drop alerts.

Orders & Shipping

How are orders made?

Our merch is made to order, so each piece is printed fresh when you buy it. That means a little extra production time, but less waste and no giant pile of unsold shirts.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders are produced in a few business days, then shipped. You'll get tracking by email once it's on the way. Drop times vary by item and location.

What's your return policy?

We accept returns within 30 days for defective items, wrong sizes, or quality issues. Visit our Returns & Exchanges page, or contact us with your order number.

Gum Rewards

What are Gum Rewards?

Gum is our way of saying thanks. It's store credit you stack up just by shopping, sharing, and creating with us. Spend it on discounts, free shipping, exclusive merch, and early access to drops. Learn more about Gum Rewards

How do I earn Gum?

Earn Gum on every order, by referring friends, submitting artwork that gets featured, tagging us in your fit, and hitting milestones (first order, fifth order, and beyond). The more you chew with us, the more you stack.

Featured Creators

What is the Featured Creators program?

Submit your gum-inspired artwork to be featured in our creator gallery. We showcase talented artists on our site, and may reach out about collaborating on limited-edition merch drops. All work remains the property of the original creator, and any commercial partnerships will be discussed separately with full credit and compensation.

How do I submit my work?
