When I was a young girl I had a sticker book. It was actually a red photo album but rather than shove photos in it, I stuck stickers. My little schoolmates and I used to trade stickers on the playground during recess– 2 apple stickers for your Brainy Smurf– 4 kitty cat stickers for a Smurfette. The Smurf stickers were much sought after. The other favorites were rainbows and unicorns. Those could go 1 on 1 against a Smurfette.
The other day I saw on the Gmail blog that if you sent them a self-addressed stamped envelope, the Gmail team would return it to you brimming with gmail-inspired stickers. The little girl in me couldn’t let this opportunity pass. I sent out the SASE and promptly forgot about it. Yesterday my envelope arrived! I got all the stickers promised EXCEPT the unicorn sticker. I am a little disappointed but I know how popular unicorn stickers are and I can understand running out. The part of all of this that I thought was really cool is amongst the stickers was a handwritten note that said, “Enjoy the stickers! The Gmail Team” Gives it a real folksy feel. I LOVE IT!
I just got my stickers and (a little embarrassed) it is a ‘thrill’.
Sorry to disappoint you, though, the note is NOT handwritten (it is a printed reproduction of someone’s handwriting), but mass-produced.
I was wondering if it was too late to be able to receive these stickers. My daughter, who will be 3 in May, recently discovered the “joy” of stickers due to her stay at the hosptial. (She got a ton of them from the nurses and other staff every time they needed to do something to her). I would like to be able to add to her “collection”.
I haventgotten my gmail stickers yet but they loook cool so i have my fingers crossed that it comes trough!
I live in the United Kingdom, so i can’t do it, and I am really sad about that!!!! I know there is an option, but it seems silly to get an IRC and pay postage for just some stickers!!! *sighs*
