    I love that my kids actually do not do that and stick stuff anywhere they can. With age they understand some surfaces are off limits so as to not damage them, but my windows and light switches never stood a chance…

    I had a big collection until I got a large toolbox in my garage. They’re all stuck on it now and when I get new ones they instantly go there also.

    I used to be like this but then started pre-deciding items that would be just plastered with stickers so I can just buy whatever cool stickers I want, knowing there’s a place for them.

    My water bottle and laptop for example are now covered in stickers

      I bought a chunk of foam presentation board and put it in those metal snap together frames where you can buy two sides at a time for $10 so you can mix and match the lengths to get the size you need and now I have a “sticker wall” that I can take with me from apartment to apartment.

      I fairly recently learned that they sell covers that go over laptops so you can move between employers and bring your sticker collection with you (and bonus, not annoy your IT department as much).

    The secret is to just have a sticker area and then cover it in shit

    That’s why the one wall in my little office nook is covered in anime characters and such

    Meanwhile, my toddler will immediately place a sticker on literally the first thing they see. 🫠

      All well and good as long as it’s something they own themselves. I’ve rather grown to hate all the public anti-vax, racist and far right stickers the idiots share on Telegram and plaster all over public property. Even in the nature reserve I like to walk to relax some dick has put Nazi stickers on every post in sight as well as all over informational signs telling people about the unique wildlife. It makes my blood boil, which is the opposite of relaxing in the forest.

      Yep, and similarly, just write/draw/whatever in your cool notebooks. Using them regularly over time is the thing that makes them special. Not some grand effort at perfection.
