Events, and Parties, and Trade Shows, oh my! April 11 2016
Here at the button store we put a little bit of button magic into everything we do.
Do you want to make your next event super special? We would love to help you put on a fun-filled Button Birthday Party, Event, or Workshop.
Birthday Parties
Throw an awesome Button Birthday for a super special kid (or kid at heart!) Whether you would like to rent our space, rent a machine, or have us come to you, our button making experts will ensure a great time is had by all!
If you have something specific in mind, just let us know and we will put together an awesomely unique party experience for you and your button making guests.
Events
We can help you turn any event into an interactive button making extravaganza! We can work with you to create anything from custom button artwork, to craft activities to keep the youngsters busy.
Trade Shows
Create low-cost, high visibility promotional products for your next trade show or promotional event. A unique button giveaway is a sure-fire way to make you the talk of the trade show!
Photo Button Booths
Take a photo on site, and we can turn it into a button on the spot. It's a great way to add some fun to corporate events, and is a blast at weddings too!

Stay Safe This Halloween! Make Reflective Safety Buttons for Trick or Treaters October 30 2015
Safety First! Halloween Themed Reflective Buttons
Going out on Halloween night is something that kids (and adults) look forward to every year. Planning ahead means dressing up in costumes that fit and function, but are also visible! Safety may not be on the minds of little ghouls and goblins, but at People Power Press we want to help make sure everyone has a safe and spooky Halloween! So we've created Halloween-themed reflective buttons.
Staying visible is key when navigating our busy neighbourhood streets, so we are making highly reflective buttons to pin to costumes, jackets and all ghostly gear. These buttons reflect light much like bike reflectors or high visibility construction clothing. Trick-or-treaters can be seen, but the awesomeness of their Halloween costume stays just as visible. No need to hide under spools of reflector tape!
Come into our Toronto shop on Saturday, October 31st to either purchase a pre-made reflective button for your and your spooky crew or join us for an in-store event to make your own!
During the in-store button making event, you can choose what your reflective button will look like from a series of pre-made designs and we will show you how to make them into a button.
We also have non-reflective Halloween button designs ready to be coloured in along with treats to appease everyone’s sweet tooth! Hope you can make it.
Registration is not necessary for this event, but if you would like to reserve a specific time to come in, just contact us and we will save you a spot!

Comicon! This weekend! December 10 2013
This weekend we're super excited to have a booth at Comicon Toronto where we will have a photo booth for portraits, and be creating custom buttons for you, on the spot.
Comicon is at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (South Building) on Sunday, December 15th, 2013 from 11am to 5pm. It's a special holiday edition of Toronto Comicon / AnimCon. Admission is only $10 at the door and that gets you into BOTH events! Two Show for the price of one! Kids 12 and under are FREE with paying adult.
Our team will have various sizes of custom buttons for you to make, as large as 6" buttons for photos. We will also have our gumball vending machines for buttons, and button makers of all sizes. (If you are behind on your Christmas shopping, pick up a button maker for someone you love!)
Here we were this past summer at Fan Expo, and if that was any indication, this weekend should be a blast. We'll have a similar set up, and a photo booth! Event photos of Comicon to follow...
Come by and say hi, get a photo taken, and get your art on!
