Let me start by saying these heart-shaped sticky notes are ADORABLE. The pastel watercolor design is softer than the product photos suggest, making them perfect for Valentine's Day gifts or cute office reminders. I received 24 pads (2 of each color) with 45 sheets per pad - that's a LOT of sticky love!

The paper quality is decent - no ink bleeding through when I wrote on them with various pens. They peeled off cleanly from their pads without tearing, which I appreciate. I tested them on multiple surfaces: my laptop, fridge, and notebooks.

Here's the big BUT... the stickiness is inconsistent at best. While some notes adhered surprisingly well to my glass desk (stuck firmly for three days!), others wouldn't even stay put on a smooth notebook cover. It's frustrating when you're trying to leave a sweet note for someone and it just slides off!

PRO TIP: These work best on completely smooth, non-porous surfaces after wiping the area clean. Don't expect them to stick to textured walls or wood - they'll disappoint you.

Final verdict? These get an A+ for cuteness and quantity, but a C- for functionality. They're perfect for decorative uses like scrapbooking or lunchbox notes where sticking power isn't crucial. For serious office reminders? You might want to look elsewhere unless you're okay with constantly re-sticking your notes.
