Very disappointing
I was very disappointed with these buttons. I bought them to put names on childrens stockings, but the selection of letters you get are ridiculous. Some letters are uppercase and some lowercase (for example the letter e is uppercase but the letter i is lowercase) so there is no way of writing the children's names without it looking weird. This product also supplies numbers (allegedly!) I found one 3, one 5 and two 1's but that was it! I shall be returning product back to the store.

Vibrant colour. Mostly well made buttons. The figure four is slightly odd as it looks like a lower case h.
Only one star given as a while ago I bought 3 jars of these buttons and there was not one A, C, E, I, M, N, P or S in any of the jars. However, there were 79 O's, 35 Y's, 16 Q's, 13 X's and 23 K's. Ever being the optimistic I recently bought another jar and there was only one A and one S in this jar. Not a particularly random mix.

Bright and cheery
Love these buttons. I used mine for decorative rather than use as buttons. There are lots of buttons in the jar but on the downside there seems to be a lack of quality control. Lots of one letter and only one of another.. I had the whole alphabet excluding the “F” .. so had to buy a second pot to complete my project. (Checked on the hobby-craft table in store to make sure first! ) Not enough numbers for 1-10, even with the 2nd pot sadly.

There was a very unbalanced distribution of letters in the pot.
I bought the pot of buttons to sew my granddaughters' names on articles I was making them for Christmas. The first pot I bought contained only one letter 'a' so I bought another pot which contained only two! I understand that it is difficult to get numbers of letters corresponding to the frequency they occur in the English language but surely there is some way of ensuring a more balanced mixture. There were huge numbers of some letters and none of others. There were even a few odd numerals in each pot which were of no use to me.

Nice idea but
This is a great idea and the actual buttons are nice but I had to make 3 trips to the store before I got the letters I needed had to give up on the numbers. Shame you cannot work this out a bit better even if it had at least one set of the alphabet and one set of numbers it would be something.

Not enough 'A's
I bought these to make a personalised gift for my husband's birthday. There was only one A and one Y in the jar so I couldn't say Happy Birthday! Apart from that they are really good and jolly colours. The letters are useful for various projects.

ok
Good quality. And I appreciate that they are ‘assorted’ but a few letters on the alphabet missing which I needed. would of liked at least one of each letter! But still happy with the product overall

Love these buttons but wish I could buy specific letters
These letters are great but the problem is there is always one missing that I really want and it’s not guaranteed in the next jar I buy. Would love to be able to buy specific letters.
