Let me start by saying these sticky notes are absolutely adorable! The fishbowl design with tropical fish, seaweed, and gravel is so fun and unique. They definitely stand out from your typical Post-Its. I got the 12-pack, and at 50 sheets per pad, that's a whopping 600 sheets in total - great value for money.

I've been using them around my home office to jot down quick reminders and to-do lists. The 3.15 x 3.15 inch size provides just enough space for short notes. They look especially cute stuck on my laptop (though more on that later) and planner.

Now for the not-so-great part: the stickiness. Or should I say, lack thereof. These notes barely stick to anything! I've tried them on paper, my monitor, fridge - you name it. They either fall off immediately or need tape to stay put. It's disappointing because they're marketed as sticky notes.

The paper quality itself is decent - smooth surface with clear printing and no weird smells. They peel off cleanly without residue when they do decide to stick temporarily.

Would I recommend them? If you're looking for actual functional sticky notes, probably not. But if you want some cute notepads that'll make you smile every time you use them (and don't mind using tape), then go for it! They'd make great gifts too - just be upfront about their limited sticking power.
