Stickers, once a cherished staple of childhood, have made a remarkable resurgence, sparking memories of glittery unicorns on school notebooks, shiny Cadbury Wowie decals tucked into lunch boxes, and Boomer chewing gum tattoos worn proudly like badges of honour. What was once reserved for scrapbooks is finding new significance in adult life. They are glued everywhere—planners, laptops, water bottles and street signs, transforming the ordinary into quirky, fun, and deeply personal.
This resurgence has undoubtedly been driven by their versatility and emotional appeal. Stickers have evolved into powerful tools for self-expression. They offer an easy and accessible way to personalise objects, infusing them with individuality. Whether it’s a student layering motivational stickers on a laptop or an artist covering a sketchbook with them, stickers allow people to convey personality and creativity without uttering a word.
