01 February 2008 Send a hidden message in a tie this Valentine’s Day Got a secret crush on a man at work? A website has launched a Valentine’s Day tie that will tell him how you feel – without anyone else in the office working it out. The “Hello Handsome” tie has been launched by the UK’s leading online tie retailer TieWarehouse.co.uk. It’s a red tie which features the words “Hello Handsome” written repeatedly on it in blue. But the sentence is displayed backwards – “emosdnaH olleH” – meaning you need a mirror to work out what it says. And the writing is small, so those who only glance at the tie will think it’s just a blue pattern. Gary Baker from Tie Warehouse said: “You often find offices where there is a flirty friendship between two people. This tie is a harmless way to move it off email and into the office itself. “The man you give it to will get the message every time he looks in the mirror, but the rest of your colleagues will be clueless.” The tie is one of a series of romance-inspired Valentine’s Day ties for men on Tie Warehouse.
