All around popular culture, stickers have become more prevalent. Many younger generations have stickers on their water bottle, laptop, iPad and practically any other surface. Stickers can provide insight into someone’s interests, activities, hobbies, and more. One might be interested in traveling and have stickers from all the places they’ve visited or they might have ten dog stickers, meaning they probably aren’t a cat person.

Stickers come from all kinds of places, like websites or small stores, and there is a surplus of stickers available. You can get stickers related to patterns, animals, movies, music and everything in between. Trending stickers on RedBubble.com, a popular website that specializes in stickers, are sunflowers, dogs, “sips tea,” and Michael Scott jokes from The Office. There are even funny stickers like avocados making jokes, or meme references.

Stickers can be a great way to capture, share, and remember experiences.
