Kids get sprinkled with stickers everywhere they go: school, the doctor’s office, in the checkout line of the nice cashier at Target. But unless we donate blood or vote, adults rarely get in on that sweet sticker action, and it sucks. Just because we’re older than our kids doesn’t mean we don’t deserve a little pick-me-up, too.
Andrea Powers, a teacher and designer behind the Etsy shop Peanut Parade, set out to remedy this. She creates sets of reward stickers and buttons just for adults. They’re like wearable high-fives to give us props for the really hard things we manage to do each day that we totally deserve credit for, but hardly anyone one ever notices.
Here’s a set that’s specific for moms:

This pack is perfect for people who hate both bugs and dealing with idiots:
And here’s a set that’s just for teachers. Because anyone who spends all day handing out stickers definitely deserves one of their own:
I think there’s nothing wrong with embracing your inner child and giving it props for a job well done.”Being an adult and a mom is SUPER hard, and sometimes it’s just nice to be recognized for those thankless jobs you do a million times a day. Even if you’re just rewarding yourself.”
I'll take the lot.
