You can instead put off buying the sticker for the three years of placement decision time, then frantically search for a sticker that used to be widely available, be unable to find it, and regret the decisions that lead you to this place.
We used to have a chain of stationery stores over here that had shitloads of stickers. They went bankrupt. Now I have no idea where to get stickers from. Except the Internet, of course, where I can pay up my nose for a few Linux / programming stickers from stores that disappear and reappear. Buying stickers as an adult suuuucks here. I don’t know how the kids do it.
Get a nice blank book(with a cover you like), put the stickers in there.
I started holding on to the stickers my kids give me waiting for that perfect spot because what if I put it somewhere and change my mind later and now, well
Listen… that cow with lilac spots and a flower on her head is too adorable not to see every day. Please put her somewhere so she can be loved. (You can use a loop of scotch tape if you really can’t commit to sticking her somewhere permanently!)
When I recently committed to putting some of my hoarded stickers on my laptop, I got friends to place the first few, because I knew I would be paralysed with indecision.
Maybe you could use a similar mechanism of breaking the decision paralysis? If you have kids (plural), if one kid gives you a sticker, you could get another kid to suggest where to put it. If you’re feeling really wild, you could give the sticker to a kid and ask them to stick it somewhere (if they’re old enough to understand what kind of place would be bad/damaging)
I sympathise with not wanting to use up the stickers, but if you do use some of them, then as well as having this delightful stash, you’ll also have a few cute reminders of your family scattered about. And if you fear your supply is running low, you can give your kids a standing order of “if you see any stickers that make you think of me, I want 'em”. It’d make you easy to buy souvenirs for, for sure.
Wait, does nobody else put all the stickers they find on their laptop lid?
I put them on my 2L water bottle
I’d need like twelve more laptops for that
And when you finally install the sticker somewhere, you instantly regret it still.
My solution is to use sticky tack (adhesive putty) to put the stickers on an area of my wall that I’ve dedicated to that.
It allows me to use and display the stickers without using its real adhesive.
So you could just buy… images?
Yeah I guess! However in my experience the best images available for purchase are glossy printed with a one time use adhesive back, often referred to as “stickers”
This is why I have a sticker book I bought at an anime convention. I just flip through it every few weeks and admire the stickers I get without having to worry about putting them somewhere. Every page has a theme dedicated to a character or series
I have a collection of stickers I’ve accumulated for years. Only used one once because I had it in double. Regretted it forever. Better keep them all mushed together in the drawer.
I started collecting stickers, since I don’t dare messing up my furniture and stuff.
I only stick them on immediately when I have planned it ahead. But then I buy or print the stickers on purpose.
Among Us stickers can go anywhere.
