Button Wishes | Thoughtful Cracker Filler Gifts
Button Wishes – Little Gifts with a Special Meaning
Our Button Wishes are a lovely way to give someone a little reminder that they're loved, appreciated or simply thought of. Each one combines a decorative mini gift card with a coordinating button and a message chosen to make the recipient smile.
There are designs for all sorts of people and personalities, from heartfelt words of encouragement to funny sayings, cute animals and seasonal favourites. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful little gift, a stocking filler or something different to put inside a Christmas cracker, there's plenty to choose from.
What Is a Button Wish?
A Button Wish is a decorative card measuring approximately 8.3 × 5cm, featuring a printed sentiment and a coordinating button. The idea is simple: give someone a message that means something to them, along with a little keepsake they can hold on to.
The button can be removed from the card and sewn onto something special. It could be tucked inside a coat, added to a bag, sewn onto a scarf or attached to a favourite fabric item. Wherever it's kept, it becomes a little reminder of the person who gave it and the message that came with it.
Button Wishes aren't designed to be written in or posted as greeting cards, and envelopes aren't included. They're little gifts in their own right, ready to give to someone special.
Find a Button Wish to Suit Your Recipient
Choosing a Button Wish is all about finding the right message or design for the person receiving it. Our collection includes a wide variety of sentiments and themes, so you can choose something personal rather than settling for a generic gift.
- Thoughtful Messages and Words of Encouragement
Sometimes a few words can make a real difference. Choose a Button Wish to let someone know they're loved, remind them how special they are or offer a little encouragement when they need it.
These designs can be a thoughtful choice for a friend, partner, family member or anyone who could do with a reminder that someone is thinking of them.
- Funny Sayings and Playful Designs
If your recipient appreciates a good laugh, there are plenty of Button Wishes with humorous messages, puns and cheeky designs. From food-related wordplay to amusing animal characters, these make fun little gifts for people who don't take themselves too seriously.
A funny Button Wish can also be a great conversation starter when included in a Christmas cracker.
- Animals, Hobbies and Personal Interests
From dogs and penguins to bees, bears and other characterful designs, the collection includes buttons to suit a variety of interests and personalities.
You can also look for designs that reflect someone's hobbies, favourite themes or place in the family. A little detail like this can make a small gift feel much more personal.
- Christmas and Seasonal Designs
Button Wishes are available for different seasons and occasions, including Christmas, Easter, birthdays and weddings. Choose a festive design for a Christmas gift or cracker, or pick a more general message that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Button Wishes as Christmas Cracker Fillers
Button Wishes make a lovely alternative to the usual novelty gifts found inside Christmas crackers. Rather than a disposable trinket, each one includes a message and a button that the recipient can keep and use.
They're particularly useful when you're making your own crackers and want to choose a different gift for each guest. You could select a sentimental message for one person, a funny design for another, or a button that reflects someone's interests.
The card measures approximately 8.3 × 5cm, and Button Wishes are suitable for our standard-sized Christmas crackers or larger.

How to Choose the Right Button Wish
Start by thinking about the person you're buying for. Would they appreciate a heartfelt message, a bit of humour or a design based on an animal or favourite interest?
If you're buying several Button Wishes for a group, choosing different designs for each recipient is a lovely way to make the gifts feel individual. For Christmas crackers, you could match each design to a guest, making the gift inside feel as though it was chosen especially for them.
Remember that the button is intended to be removed and sewn onto a suitable item if desired. Button Wishes are not toys and are not designed for children, so they should be given and used with that in mind.
