I like the idea of stickers, and most of the fun of having them is imagining all the fun and cool places I might put them, like on my car, phone, laptop, coffee mug, game consoles and controllers, mirrors, desk, stereo system, fridge, tool cases and cabinets, etc.

Immediately after fantasizing, I think about what will happen to that sticker, should that item ever need replacing. I’ll either keep the item so I don’t lose the sticker, which leads to hoarding and cluttering, or I’ll have to throw it away which leads to me having to scramble to find a store that sells the same sticker, which more often than not, is impossible to find.

It’s better I just don’t use them and keep them tucked away.

I keep meaning to buy some of those like $5 bags of 100 stickers or whatever that you can find online for this reason. I love the aesthetic of something like a phone or a laptop covered in stickers, but I don't like the idea of losing one I care about, like you. So I figure if I just get a bunch without selectively choosing them, there's likely to be a number that I don't really care about and therefore won't be worried about losing that I can use to fill the majority of that sticker space with.

I love this idea! I’m going to look into this and see what I can find!
