Mouse Trap Photo Tie
Finding the right personalized gift shouldn’t be a game of cat and mouse. Thankfully, we make gifting for the cat-lover in your life simple by offering the Mouse Trap Custom Photo Necktie. This playful repeating pattern features a cat’s photo along with mice and paw prints. Swap out the three colors in this pattern with three unique colors of your choice to create a totally custom look. We recommend using a clear photo of your kitty’s face or forward-facing shot of their full body. If preferred, this repeating pattern can be changed to feature just one instance of your favorite feline. Our silk-like tie fabric, premium sublimation printing, and excellent craftsmanship truly make our ties the cat’s meow.
