There's plenty of unconventional and affordable options that are both stylish and simple. So, here's a curated list of my top 5 favourite gift worthy Valentine's Day alternative selections: for you, your sweetheart, or darling "friend." We have a marvellous box of goodies, including an excellent giveaway waiting for you, so take your time and enjoy these useful, and charming items below.
Tic Sweden Fastens Shirt Buttons 
(Above) 1-Quality leather gloves Ted Baker and Dents, 2-Etsy handmade soaps made in the likeness of chocolate nut brownies, and other sweets in oatmeal glycerin and heart shaped dead sea salt soap, 3-Unique small jewellery: thinking beyond diamonds? Give the Monserat De Lucca "Ducks-in-a-row" bracelet and Tuleste Market-Tulip earrings. 4-True Fabrications: vintage inspired hi-tech bottle stopper in the form of a gear shift, it's very 007! 5-Tic® by Tic Sweden.


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!

  38. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yes, actually they are permanant, to take the place of sewing a button, it's all in the tic piece, thread and all! Thanks for your comment. :)
