Recently, whenever I go to the shops, any stationery or 100 yen shop, I can’t stop myself from buying stickers. In a place like Japan – the land of kawaii – this is dangerous. I probably now have enough stickers to last me until well past the end of the academic year. Oh dear.
“It’s for the kids!” I told my friend.
“Admit it! They’re for you!” she retorted playfully.
I only ever give stickers to my 16 year olds, and that’s only when they do well on their vocabulary tests. They might say (or seem like) they don’t care about them, but I think that deep down in their hearts it makes them happy that I bother. And that makes me happy too, even though they drive me crazy sometimes.
But, it’s true – I just use the kids as an excuse to buy them so I can use them for myself too, ha ha.
Just look at them! How could I not buy them?
You know you’d do the same.

From left to right: cute mustaches and other sparkly things, cute froggies, cute horses, cute cows, cute tigers, cute pandas, cute Little Red Riding Hood, cute Alice in Wonderland, and cute balloons. Whew, that’s a lot of cute right there.
Cute! 😛 I love stickers – believe me, those kids do too 🙂 Even if they’re too cool to say so 😛
OMG, I buy stickers, too!
I will take pics of my sticker album and its content! Anastasiia is a sticker addict, too! In case you’re not already following her: http://worldinspiresyoucreate.wordpress.com/2013/08/29/necessary-stuff-to-make-your-cards-awesome/
You and Anastasiia gave me the courage to show off my own sticker collection. I took pics last night and have just published the post. 🙂
Yes, my stickers are incredibly cute!
This makes me want to go back to Japan. I bought the awesomest sticky notes and paper clips at the 100yen shop! (Frankly, Japan was so expensive that it was the only place I could shop, hehe)
I LOVE the 100 yen shops 🙂 You can get some really nice things there. I always end up spending more money in the end though, because I just keep saying, “oh, it’s only a hundred yen.” Heheh 🙂
The stationery is so advanced here. I’d be lost without my erasable pens 🙂
You and me both! I used to collect stickers like crazy. Especially when I went to China and Toronto :). What do you do with all those lovely stickers? I used to make collages out of them in my notebooks but that’s probably not the most artistic way to display them.
Well, I give stick them in my students’ notebooks when they get really good scores on the vocabulary tests I give them. These kids are 16 years old, but I give them stickers anyway :p
I think the collage idea is awesome! If only I were as creative as you! 🙂
Oohoooh, everybody loves stickers. Even 16-too-cool-for-cute-stickers year olds. They used to give me stamps at school, granted, when I was 10-12 but I loved them too 🙂 And I’d love my test to come back with a cute sticker if I did well when I was 16 😀
I like giving them out as well – it gives me a strange sense of satisfaction 🙂
