At tomtoc, we believe that love isn’t just about grand gestures—it’s about the little moments, the everyday adventures, and the things (and people, and pets!) that make life truly special. This Valentine’s Day, we wanted to celebrate love in all its forms—with our Valentine’s Day Giveaway! We asked you to share your heartwarming love stories, and you delivered some of the most touching, hilarious, and unforgettable tales.
From travel companions that stood the test of time to furry friends claiming ownership of our laptop sleeves, your stories reminded us why we do what we do—creating products that seamlessly fit into your lives and protect the things that matter most.
Here are just a few of the love stories that warmed our hearts:
@Siyuan Li
“Back in 2019, I made what turned out to be one of the best purchases of my life—my very first tomtoc product, a Nintendo Switch case. At the time, “tomtoc” wasn’t exactly a big name; in fact, if I told someone about it, they’d probably think I was either making up words or sneezing mid-sentence. But here we are, six years later, and that little case is still going strong, standing the test of time like a battle-hardened warrior.
Since then, my collection of “tommy toc” (yes, that’s what I call it now) products has grown like an addiction I have zero regrets about. Iconic laptop sleeves, tech pouches, T66 Navigator backpacks—you name it, I probably own it. And these aren’t just bags and cases; they’re my loyal travel companions, my unsung heroes, my portable guardians. They’ve traveled with me across the globe—from Shanghai to Paris, Mexico City to LA. Rain, airport security, reckless tosses into an overhead bin—my tomtoc gear has never let me down. At this point, they’re more than just products—they’re like my closest friends. Reliable, durable, and sustainable—tomtoc isn’t just a brand I buy; it’s a brand I trust with my tech… and possibly my life. 😉”
@Buddy McCook
“After losing my dog, I started looking to rescue another. This stray ended up at the local shelter, and the first day she was available for adoption, I drove straight there. Needless to say, it was love at first sight, and she’s been my permanent sidekick for almost seven years. Sophie is what I named her.”
@GOERKEM OEZATA
“It started with a simple gift. My partner got me a sleek tomtoc laptop sleeve—minimalist, durable, and perfect for protecting my laptop. I was thrilled. My cat, Biscuit, was furious.
From the moment I unwrapped it, Biscuit decided that it was his. Every time I tried to use it, he would sit on it like a medieval queen protecting her throne. One day, I zipped up my laptop inside and walked to my desk—only for Biscuit to follow, jump up, and attempt to squeeze inside with it. Now, we share joint custody of the sleeve. Most days, I find him curled up on it, purring smugly. At least I can say it’s cat-approved.”
@Iolanda Pinheiro
“In 2022, I met my amazing Turkish boyfriend while living in Portugal. He made me feel like I was walking on clouds. With his encouragement, I finally took the leap and bought a new laptop—my savings, my investment. Not long after, a package arrived: a tomtoc case. “The best of the best,” he said. Since then, we—and our tomtoc cases—have been inseparable. Two years later, we’ve built a home together, and our Valentine’s Day dinner will be extra special. No more long-distance struggles, just the two of us… and our beloved tomtoc cases. ❤️”
@Richard Kim
“My girlfriend decided my Palamute bag was perfect for her "essentials." Despite its small size, she somehow managed to fit in a water bottle, granola bars, wallet, makeup, and even a 3DS. Then, she needed her keys. She took everything out, only to realize they had been attached to the built-in keychain the whole time. Now, it’s her "Adventure Bag"—proof that even the cutest bags can be deceptively spacious.”
