Packing List! || Travel Series by Stickerrific

I don't know about everyone else, but I have a list of things that I just absolutely detest. Not gonna lie, it is not a very short one ranging from the smallest possible thing to something bigger.

Then there's something that I'm sure a few of us are absolutely against and that is packing for a holiday. PACKING YOUR LUGGAGE. Whether it is just for several days or longer, it's the worst kind of anxiety to be feeling just before you leave the house.

Every time before and after packing I just have this feeling like I am missing out something. But for some weird reason I can never for the life of me figure out what is is. Even though I often times over-pack because I am a firm believer in over-packing than under-packing, I'd still feel as if I have left something of importance.

By the time I actually remember what I left behind, I'm already out of the house and on the way towards my holiday destination. It's obviously too late to get my missing item at that point so I'll have to learn to make do. -.-

That's super irritating and there really isn't anything that I can do to overcome this problem. At least not until recently I discovered something that makes my packing time a whole lot easier.

Website.
Thanks to Stickerrific! I heard about this store from Beatrice, the same one that told me about the Calligraphy & Watercolour class.

It should come as no surprise that someone like her would be the one to introduce me to this store since she loves arts & crafts, something which this store offers a lot of things for. On top of that, it's location is rather near to her university so she can drop by whenever she has the time to.

I can't exactly remember why she introduced me to Stickerrific - but if I'm not wrong, it has something to do with the owner's cute kitty which Bea took pictures of one day. So that's how I found out about them and have been following their Instagram feed for the pretty things which is posted every now and then.

Since I've still yet to visit the actual store just yet, I mostly just browse through their items via their website. Sometimes I can spend hours on there just window shopping and dreaming of when I start being more artistic on paper. Plus everything is so pretty that it's rather therapeutic just looking at all the things that are for sale.


All the art tools you need.
These are some of the things you can find on their website. There are also workshops & classes offered too if you're interested in picking up a new skill. :)

Also I really like how the entire page is simply designed without any frills or over the top decorations. AND! Every item is categorized so that it's easier for the shopper to find what they need without sifting through a lot of pages with things that they aren't looking for.

As always, I was just scrolling through the latest product section - since I really wasn't looking to buy anything in particular. That's when I saw something that instantly caught my attention and immediately I knew that this would be something I definitely need in my life.

Even if I am not an avid traveler. Yet.

A FULL FREAKING PACKING LIST. All written down beautifully for you without missing out anything, including the things you would like to have in your hand luggage as well. WTF!

This way it would be almost impossible to miss out anything anymore since I have a complete checklist. Not only is the entire thing super pretty, the list is really detailed as well.

Description.
Thank you Artsunami for making this list to help nervous packers like myself to not leave anything behind. ;_;

I got this just in time before I leave for another trip - which I realized a day before I have to depart that it is quite a nightmare having to pack. In the end, I got another pad for my best friend since she travels way more than I do and has almost the same hatred against packing as I do.

What was really amazing about Stickerrific's swift delivery was when the goods finally arrived. Unfortunately I was too excited at work and just ripped my package open before taking proper pictures of it.


After waiting a few days, my order finally arrived! So just imagine a pretty candy-cane coloured string prettily wrapped around the packing list ohkay - that's how it initially looked like. Only I really have no idea how to tie it the way it originally was.

It was sweet of Sze Too to add in a few extra little treats for me. The flowers were mini stickers which I presume is for me to create a travel scrapbook or do something artistic with them. I have yet to find a use for these pretties at the moment but hopefully that will change and until then, they'll stay in my notebook.

Thank you note from Sze Too.
Also, I have probably mentioned this somewhere before but I enjoy receiving little thank you notes with my purchase. Call this a #foreveralone thing but I haven't received them in a very long time and I remember a dear friend Ashlyn writing me several back in college. That made me super happy. :3

And to see that the founder of Stickerrific took time to write a simple note put a big smile on my face. Somehow that makes me feel slightly special. So this, I have to give her lots of points just for that.

Thank you Sze Too! I loved the packing list, helped me so much! 


It is so detailed. There's even a small column for important items that you would want to bring with you in your hand-luggage.

Now I no longer have to spend the journey to my holiday destination worrying about leaving anything important behind. All thanks to this check-list.

I love having lists, even more when I don't have to write them out myself.

Stickerrific instagram feed. 
Also, don't forget to follow them on Instagram to check up on what's their latest product. Or just to see some pretty art and perhaps Sze Too's pet kitties who are adorably named Luke & Leia. They are so cute because sometimes she ties pretty scarfs around their necks and takes gorgeous pictures of them.

Hopefully soon I will have saved up enough to attend the watercolour class that is offered at their store. Which also gives me an excuse to drop by their shop at Jaya One to survey all the pretty artsy things that are offered. :3

  3. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all.

    However think of if you added some great visuals or video
    clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but
    with pics and clips, this site could certainly be
    one of the very best in its field. Awesome blog!

  4. Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to understand so much approximately
    this, like you wrote the guide in it or something.
    I think that you just can do with a few % to drive the message house a bit, but instead of that,
    that is great blog. A great read. I'll definitely be back.
