Daiso Trip & Sticker Haul!

A miracle happened and Daiso finally got stock in!!! I've been visiting the store over the past year and it seems the company got a big shipment of stock in. The store I visited was packed full of stock and I even saw some items I've haven't seen for ages. I could've spent ages just going through everything but I restrained myself and didn't buy too much. The main purpose of the visit was to stock up on stickers and Daiso did not disappoint in the sticker department! There was even some I'd never seen before! I shall share my haul in this post along with all the other stickers I've acquired lately. First let's take a look at what Daiso has on offer! 

Gotta check out the snacks of course! I wish there was a Daiso closed to my workplace so I could eat the cookies & cream and choc banana flavours all the time. Once I tried the hundreds and thousands flavour and it was too die for! Never been able to find it again as I believe it's limited edition. The snack sections at Daiso have shrunk over time and you need to go to the city store to get the better range. I tend to stick to the Pocky or biscuits however Daiso does stock the Poppin' Cookin' sets which are fun. When I made my purchase today, the sales assistance didn't ask if I wanted Koala cookies. They must've run through their supply as they always ask you to buy them.

So many snacks!

Next up was the check out the stationery section for washi tape. I couldn't locate any so maybe they didn't get any in this shipment. I brought a nice set from the store once that had 10 different styles in the pack and I've been searching for it since! No luck so far but hopefully they will get it back one day as there was a green version of the set I want to get. Daiso did have these amusing animal notebooks on display and I've never seen anything like this. It was like a weird squishy cover and everything about them is just so weird. I don't buy any notebooks from Daiso as I'm not a fan of the paper in most of them. I used to buy all my stationery from the Morning Glory stores which stocked Korean brands but they all closed ages ago (still sad about it). Nowadays I get all my notebooks cheap from work as I go through so many and you know, staff discount is a huge selling point haha.

Over in the craft section, there isn't anything too exciting. I usually check out this section to see if Daiso has anything unique or crafty hack things. The pom pom maker looked interesting but I have no use for it. There wasn't any new needle felting stuff either, just the same old stuff I already have. The knitting markers looked cute due to the pastel colour. Mine are fluorescent colours and are super easy to use compared to these. The Disney stamp sets aren't new besides the Zootopia one. I hadn't seen that design yet so it must be a recent release. I have the pink cat one on the right already and a Winnie the Pooh one that is an old style. Stamps are something that are fun to collect, but I find myself not using them too much now. I really should try to incorporate them into my notebooks more.

Sticker Haul!

If there is one thing that brightens my day is stickers! And today's post is all about the sticker's I've collected recently. I've kind of got a bit obsessed with stickers this year and place them all over my journals, work stationery and electronics. All of the stickers shown in this post were purchase from Daiso, Aliexpress or Spotlight. Let's take a look shall we?

First up are all the Daiso items I got! Glad I picked these up last month as I went to two Daiso stores recently and both were pretty lacklustre sticker wise. One store didn't have any! The second store had shrunk it's section down which made me sad as I love going to that store to stock up and it was the whole reason for my trip. Anyway I was happy with all of these cuties! I love the Daiso stickers as they are small in size and ideal for my journal. They also come in many fun styles and images. I think I have every style of the schedule sticker available here. The hedgehog stickers in the top left corner are adorable and this was actually the second pack of this I've brought. I really like these ones as you get two sheets in one packet. I rarely see these two packs anymore :(

I just had to get these adorable cat stickers as a few of the kitties reminded me of cats I watch on Youtube. The tall standing up white and back cat reminded me of cat_urgry on Instagram and they are also on youtube! This cat is like the best suggestion I've ever had on Youtube. I'll post my favourite video on theirs at the end of this post. Some of the cats also reminded me of Mejoo Cats which is my favourite youtube channel. Hyuji is my bias then Monji is a close runner up. But I love all the cats honestly ❤❤

At first I wasn't sold on these shell stickers but they are gorgeous and feel lovely to use. They are a masking sticker so they feel different to plastic ones. Excuse my bad terminology, I'm not a sticker expert just a hoarder! I actually brought a second pack of these yesterday as I had almost used up my first lot.
