Stickers!!!!!! (Squee)

Where (preferably online) can I buy the very best and most motivating stickers?

In a discussion with my career coach, I mentioned offhandedly that I should award myself a sticker on my calendar if I get my language study and dissertation research done every day. I was mostly joking, but I keep thinking about it and I really want some stickers, man. And Amazon/Google have not been super helpful, surprisingly!

Wants:
- Multiple different sticker designs on one page, so that I can get excited about giving myself a different sticker each day. A pack with several sheets of the same page of varied stickers is ok.
- Weird and/or quirky is great! Hipster ironic is good. Since this is partially for language study achievements, any stickers with Chinese characters or Chinese emojis/memes are a plus.
- Prefer to buy online, but if you tell me that I can get what I want by stopping in at Michaels, I'd like to know that too.


So, AskMe, where do I buy some motivating stickers?

Etsy is your friend for this kind of thing. All kinds of "adulting reward stickers" and the like. Some very clever people there.

Mochi Things has some cute stickers. Also adorable sticky tabs, if you have any need for sticky tabs.

Any educational supply website will have a lot of these, and Oriental Trading also has a ton. They are mostly not intentionally ironic and I didn't see any in Chinese, but who wouldn't be chuffed to award themselves the "I was caught being good!" sticker or placing a "SUPER!" sticker on their completed homework?

You can get what you want by stopping in at Michaels, or A.C. Moore, or possibly even Staples (Staples has a lot of stuff for teachers, including stickers and other fun stuff). Michaels has a very lovely sticker selection, or at least they did last time I checked (>1 year ago)

However, if you want to look around, there are some fun arty ones at Pomegranate Press.

Best answer: Oh, I am seriously considering Pipsticks subscription myself. I found them via this thread on the blue about planner decoration!

Look for stores that cater to scrapbooking or planner accessories. Etsy sellers I like for adorable stickers are pikwahchan and PokemonGarden.

I also very recently found sparkly poop emoji stickers at Michaels near the checkout. Michaels has been a really good source of small inexpensive fun things in recent years.

Don't dismiss stars. Any office supply store will have lovely, sparkly stars that read well from across the room.

Target sometimes has cute stickers in their dollar section. Recently I saw Halloween stickers, and autumn ones with cute foxes etc that I was tempted by.
