It's such a delight to partner and collaborate with Tic Sweden (Tic Sverige AB), the Gothenburg-based company behind the brilliant no-sew button fastener. The brand created the patented product tic®, which allows anyone ... that's right, anyone, to permanently fasten a button on their shirt. Male or female, whether you need a two-hole button or four-hole button sewn, don't fret fashionistas! You needn't worry about having sewing skills at all to use this item!

What a great invention! My brother is always turning up with trousers and shirts he needs buttons replacing. If I win he'll be getting this and I get to have a lie-in on a Sunday morning! x

Sounds like a cool solution temporarily until you get a new button sorted. I also love the bottle stopper that looks like a gear stick, very funky, lol.
