The ‘WTF Buttons’ are the perfect accessory for any occasion. Whether it be in the home, at the office or even something that is carried around, the WTF buttons are there to serve as a simple device for sharing your thoughts and emotions for the many things that make you go 'WTF' on a daily basis.

The WTF buttons are similar to the popular [Staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backtoschool-shopping) “That Was Easy” button; simply press the [large red button](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boring-button) and there will be a loud WTF bursting out of the [small box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clover-emotion-tracker). The WTF buttons come with 10 programmed WTFs that are themed so you won’t get bored with the same one every time.
