FAMILY TIES
Do you have a special neck tie?
​One that reminds you of a special occasion like a wedding, a school , regiment or just his old favourite?
​
I can transform it into a decorative rose that can grace your home for years to come rather than hanging at the back of the wardrobe unseen.

Create a unique gift

Has your child just graduated from school? Do you want to have a unique piece of memorabilia of that time? Let me transform their old school tie into a delightful stem rose. Or are you looking for that perfect Wedding or Anniversary gift? Let me transform their Wedding tie, and lets face it they never wear them again...into a lasting celebration of their special day.
​I am based near Stockport in Greater Manchester and you have the option of sending me your ties or dropping them into one of our retail partners either in Stockport, Marple or Glossop.
I will send you your completed roses using Royal Mail Tracked postal services. Collection in person is possible from retail stores. Just ask me about this.

Cost for this unique gift is only £10.50* and this includes free tracked mail service. * single rose
If your order includes more than one tie rose I will only charge £4 each for the additional roses.
Please note: Additional postage costs will be incurred once the parcel exceeds 2kg. Price on inquiry.
