[Sticker Obsession] A lottery to buy stickers? My second daughter's sticker situation
My second daughter is quite particular when it comes to stickers.
It's not just any sticker that will do.
What my second daughter is looking for is
"cute, puffy stickers"
This is an absolute requirement.
Thin stickers? Flat stickers?
...
She won't even look at them.
Every time we go to the store,
"Daddy! This is cute! Look! It's puffy!"
"Daddy! This one is cute too!!"
"Daddy! And this one...!"
...They're all puffy ones.
Well, puffy stickers are more expensive than regular stickers...
And her sticker album keeps getting thicker and thicker.
It's no longera sticker album, but a sticker encyclopedia.
Meeting "Bonbon Drop Stickers" through sticker trading with friends
One day, my second daughter came home from kindergarten and said this excitedly:
"Daddy! I traded stickers with my friend!"
Oh, that's great.
Look at this!!
In the palm of the hand she held out to me was a sticker like nothing I'd ever seen before.
...What is this?
It's more than just puffy.It's three-dimensional, glossy, and looks just like a little gemstone.
This is called a Bonbon Drop Sticker!
So this is... the rumored Bonbon Drop Sticker...!!
Honestly, even I, as a parent, was like, "Whoa..."
The craftsmanship is truly impressive. The colors are beautiful, and it feels nice to the touch, too.
This is... something even parents would want!
Can't buy Bonbon Drop Stickers
The kids want them. The parents want them, too.
Well, then just buy them.
...
That's the thing, we can't buy them.
My partner asked some mom friends, "Where can you buy Bonbon Drop Stickers?"
"I saw them at Nishimatsuya!"
We got that information.
Alright! Let's go to Nishimatsuya!
...
Sold out.
Of course it is.
I'll go again another day.
Sold out.
I'll go again.
Sold out.
....
I never thought the day would come when buying stickers would be this much of a struggle.
A fateful encounter with "Olympia"
One day, while living that Bonbon Drop sticker refugee life.
I was wandering around a shopping mall when my eyes stopped in front of a store called "Olympia".
Bonbon Drop Stickers Lottery Sale
A lottery... sale...?
You need a lottery just to buy stickers?
I mean, I get it. I understand lotteries for game consoles or luxury goods.
But these are stickers? A lottery to buy stickers!
Times have changed...
The kids had their eyes sparkling, saying "I want them! I want them!", but since we hadn't signed up for the lottery in advance, we had to give up this time.
On the spot, we just registered as LINE members and went home.
Next time for sure...!
And then, the fateful notification arrived.
Today, I received a notification email from Olympia.
The content was as follows.
On February 15, 2026, we will be selling the highly popular 'Bonbon Drop Stickers' via advance lottery for Olympia LINE point card members.
Only those who win the 'Sticker Purchase Ticket' lottery on LINE will be able to purchase them at the store.
...
...
A 'lottery' for a 'Sticker Purchase Ticket'...
Writing it down makes it seem even more incredible.
A lottery to get a ticket to buy stickers.
I'll say it again.
It's a lottery to earn the right to buy stickers.
I see... so this is how everyone collects Bonbon Drop Stickers!
*For the February 15th lottery, it seems that those who have registered as LINE point card members as of February 12th are eligible. Please refer to the official website for details.
3 things I learned from my second daughter's sticker situation
1. The world of children's stickers is deep
There is a hierarchy even among puffy stickers, and Bonbon Drop Stickers seem to reign at the top. A world unknown to parents is spreading.
2. The golden rule for stickers is 'buy them when you can'
It's a world where 'I'll get it next time' doesn't work. If you find them, buy them immediately. This is just like the sneaker wars adults have.
3. Never underestimate the intensity of a child's 'I want it'
It started with sticker trading, then she got her parents involved, made us register for LINE point cards, and forced us to enter lotteries. My second daughter's passion for stickers is truly terrifying.
