Assuming an average shirt button would weigh about the same as an aspirin tablet (325 mg) you have two options. A button this size could be said to be 350 mg or 0.35 g. Larger buttons could weigh several grams and the mg notation becomes difficult to appreciate. Smaller buttons like those on a baby's clothes might be measured in mg as the fractional grams become hard to comprehend.In stores where you by bulk buttons they would be sold by the gram or kilogram where (if we're talking about shirt buttons again) you'd get about 3 per gram or 3000 per kg.

Brass or pewter buttons would be usefully measured in grams.
