I don’t know about you, but one of my more subtle joys in life is the existence of stickers. They’re a perfect addition to any bottle, laptop, or notebook. Stickers can personalize and create a theme for that specific object. I love being able to find that one sticker that can transform your creativity. Personally, I think whoever invented stickers was genius, though I might be a little too obsessed.

When keeping an eye out for stickers, there are so many different places to look. From the most known site, Redbubble, to your own campus they are everywhere. It doesn’t take much to find a basket of stickers to shuffle your way through. Besides websites like Redbubble, which have anything under the moon created into a sticker, there are plenty of other places to look.

Before purchasing a sticker, don’t forget that nine times out of ten you can find so many various stickers for free. Companies, campuses, and more organizations give out stickers to promote themselves. Whether you’re attending an event or simply emailing the organization, free stickers are everywhere. Companies will also sometimes send you logos and stickers if you reach out to them; just email them and ask! Don’t go out and purchase a sticker before you find out if you can get them for free first.

If you’re on the search for a specific sticker, start with a quick internet search. The possibilities are endless. Stickers have become so popular and relevant, so chances are, you’ll find what you’re looking for. Plus, if multiple options come up, you are given the option to pick the best or cheapest option.

While buying stickers is tons of fun, deciding where to use them can be really expressive. Water Bottles, laptops, and notebooks are where I personally see stickers the most, but they don’t have to be used that way. Maybe you want to use stickers to decorate the mirror in your room or cover the ceiling of your car. Anything goes when you’re choosing how to express yourself! 

Stickers can also be an amazing gift to give someone. They can be personal, exciting, and can be used for anything. Because there is such a wide range of stickers, you can find exactly what fits the person you’re looking for. It will show how much you care and love that person to buy them something that you know relates to them. 

Overall stickers are one of the cheapest, cutest, and most expressive things you can have. They can be free, used in various ways, and even make good gifts. Sticker lovers- keep on buying, using, and giving stickers; it’ll never get old.

 

As a little girl, I spent hours writing stories. Obviously they weren't exactly bestsellers, but it was my passion nevertheless. I would fill up my notebooks with everything I didn't know how to say out loud, and anything I could imagine. Now, as a college student, I'm chasing my dream one word at a time. I'm currently studying English and Marketing, with the intention of becoming an editor.
