Travel Essential: tic®
If
I told you that you can fasten shirt buttons without needle or
thread, would you believe me?
I
was raised in a traditional Chinese family and like most Chinese
mums, my mum never allowed me to do any housework as it was all about
reading more books or doing more homework for me. And years later now
that I'm a grown up, I still can't quite grasp the basic skill of
fastening a button. It's not so much of a problem when I'm at home,
but when the other travel bunnie and I are on the run, the last thing
we need is to have to fix a button right before our dinner
reservation at Lung King Heen. When you are exploring the world
unknown, the last thing you want is to have your precious time
and energy wasted on threading a needle for stitching a shirt button.
So
I'm happy to announce that I have found my new travel essential and
it's called tic®.
Manufactured
in Sweden, tic®
is user friendly and extremely convenient to carry around with you.
As a trial, I decided to fix a button on the other travel bunnie's
sleeping shorts, which had been missing for months. Using tic®, the
process took me four easy steps, yep, it was really that simple. All
I did was pokie tic® through the fabric, popped a button on the tic®
spike, closed the clip with a click, wiggled the clip around the
button and voila,
it was done. Don't believe me? I'll let the photos do the talking.
I
honestly think tic® is not only a brilliant travel essential, it's
also a time saver for people who are always on the go.
