Where have all the stickers gone?

I'm looking to buy high-quality themed sticker sheets online. I used to get these at a brick-and-mortar stationary store which is now out of business and they had themes like "springtime picnic" and "going camping." My google search is a dud. Any brands or websites you recommend?
What about a crafts store /website with a scrapbooking department, such as Michaels? I’ve seen tons of different sticker theme packs in scrapbook aisles.

Maybe try Etsy? I know this isn't the same thing, but I've found lots of nice rubber stamps there, and your luck may be similar for stickers.

Joann seems to have quite a few. I’m not sure what you mean by high quality though.

Lots of scrapbooking stickers have themes like the ones you mention and some are archival quality. Maybe a google search for scrapbooking supplies will help?

Mochi Things has cute stickers. I think a lot of them are imported from Japan, which is the world capital of cute stickers.
But yeah, a lot of people use stickers for scrapbooking, so you'll find stickers at any big-box craft store that has scrapbooking supplies. Planner stickers are also a thing, but they're intended to keep track of things in planners, so they have a particular format. They're generally small, and they're like icons that mark particular things, like appointments or gym days or whatever.

PaperSource has a lot of these sorts of things, as does Michaels.

I ended up finding a handful of Japanese/Korean characters I like and buying those - all lot of the sheets have themes; they're almost all "everyday activities and things". I like Buhabuha Bear and My Little Friend by Pony Brown, and the Molang Mochi Rabbit - ymmv (shrug). If you search any of these terms on Etsy you will be led to more and more options. I also like Sumikko Gurashi and some of the Japanse characters, and those stickers definitely have themes like "a hot summer day" or "a day at the bathhouse".
In addition to Etsy (and Mochi Things above) try Kawaii Pen Shop and Stickerrific.
(Kawaii means cute and is another good keyword).
Etsy also has lots of independent sticker designers and stationers!

I found nice ones by searching for "kawaii stickers".

→ Sandylion stickers, which still exist.
They might exist as a minor sub-brand of Trends International, but the company you knew as Sandylion closed about a decade ago. I think we just finished the last of the stockpile we bought in their closing sale.

I'd look for any teacher supply stores near you. There's one we use for our theater and puppetry stuff (mostly for small props) and it has endless rows of sticker sheets and sticker rolls.

I did a search for "sticker sets" at Redbubble and some options came up.
