If you read last weekโs post about the vanishing (and then reappearing!) parcel, youโre probably wondering what the heck was inside! Well, I finally got my hands on that elusive envelopeโand yes, I absolutely tore into it. ๐ โ๏ธ๐
And honestly? It was so worth the wait. Every confusing update, every anxious mailbox peek, every dramatic sigh to the sticker godsโฆ ๐
Okay okay, Iโll stop teasingโletโs dive into the unboxing and see what treasures were hiding inside! ๐
- TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Anniversary Sale
- The Unboxing of My TCMC Anniversary Sale Order
- Final Thoughts ๐ญ
- TL;DRโHereโs a Quick Recap! ๐โจ
TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Anniversary Sale
March 6th is a very special day for TheCoffeeMonsterzCo fans around the worldโฆ because itโs the shopโs anniversary! ๐
Nine years ago, teenaged Helen Wang launched her Etsy shop (while still in high school!) with just a few designsโand now, the shop and its adorable emotis have grown into a cozy empire of cuteness. โจ
Today, TCMC offers hundreds of goodies: sticker sheets, washi tape rolls and strips, pen pouches, fountain pen inks, and even a special fountain pen!
The anniversary sale usually debuts a brand-new theme (this yearโs was Tabletop Treasuresโall stationery! Yay!! ๐๐), along with new sticker sheets and exclusive items to swoon over. ๐
(For all the juicy details, check out the TCMC Event Information page.)
The Unboxing of My TCMC Anniversary Sale Order
This yearโs anniversary sale was extra specialโit rolled out in two parts! ๐๐ฆ
I only joined in for part one, since part two was all about the brand-new TCMC x Esterbrook fountain pen. And as a total fountain pen newbie, I decided to admire from afar (for now ๐โจ).
The Freebies
Any order from TCMC comes with a freebie (the one marked Ch. 3 in the picture belowโthereโs a new one each month!) and a journaling card. But during events like the shopโs anniversary sale, special freebies are added! ๐
๐ธHonestly, I think Helenโs graphic explains the anniversary freebies better than I ever could, so Iโll let it do the talking:

Iโm super happy with the goodies I received! That cute kraft logo vinyl is such a vibe, and the stationery-themed number stickers will be perfect for a monthly spread. ๐
But my absolute favorite? The “I ๐ stickers” vinyl! ๐
(I meanโฆ yes, I love pensโbut not as much as I love stickers! Otherwise this blog would be called Miss Pens or Miss Stationery, right?! ๐)
Now I kinda wish I couldโve splurged a little more and collected all the โI ๐โ vinylsโtheyโre so pretty! ๐ญ Fingers crossed that Helen adds them to the shop somedayโฆ ๐

The Stickers
Of course this is where we startโstickers are the best! ๐โจ (Okay okay, I know, Iโve made my pointโฆ LOL ๐ )

I always grab the large doodles from whatever theme Helen dreams up. Iโm such a sucker for deco stickers, and these are always just perfect. (They come in both regular matte sticker paper and washi sticker paper.) ๐
Also, having recently switched from a bigger planner (with 1.5″ columns) to a smaller one (with 1.25″ columns), now the Hobonichi Cousin fullboxes fit just right. ๐

I also splurged and treated myself to the Tabletop Treasures Hobonichi Cousin Base KitโI mean, a stationery theme?? How could I resist! ๐๐ โ๏ธ
The bigger box size is about 1.5″ by 0.8″, and I love the variety on the Tabletop Treasures pages! All the different box sizes, the little banners, the sticky notesโฆ it brings such lovely cohesion to a planner spread. ๐งก๐โจ
Next up: the anniversary sampler! ๐ฅณ Thereโs a new one every year, filled with fan-favorite sticker designs released over the past 12 months. I get it every timeโitโs such a fun little collectorโs piece. ๐๐ฆ
I also picked up the new Reading in the Dark sticker sheet, becauseโฆ wellโฆ I love reading! ๐ This one brings me right back to my childhood, sneaking in a few extra chapters past bedtime. ๐๐ฏ๏ธ

The other two sheets I grabbedโOrganize Desk and No Time To Writeโwere to help make those necessary evils a bit more fun. ๐
โ๏ธ
I especially love that No Time To Write comes in two types of paper (regular matte and washi paper) and a variety of sizes: from small (the one I got) to large to humongous!
(Just to clarify: itโs the size of the sticker that changes, not the size of the sheet. ๐)
The Washi Tape & Other Stationery

The Desk Scribbles small sticky envelope (3.6″ x 2.5″) is a little smaller than other adhesive pockets TCMC has made in the past. The regular sticker sheets donโt quite fit in it, but itโs perfect for sticky notes or washi sample cards! ๐๏ธ๐
I also canโt get over how focused the little emoti looksโso me when I go off to โplay with my stationeryโ and forget to eat or sleep. ๐ (Oops!)
Now letโs talk washi tape! ๐๐
The two rolls I picked up are absolutely gorgeous, with soft muted tones and the coziest tabletop treasuresโaka all the stationery goodies we love. โ๏ธ๐๐
And as always, the quality is top-tierโexactly what youโd expect from a TCMC washi. ๐โจ
The wider one (18mm) is called Tabletop Treasures and the slimmer one (15mm) is Stationery Toolbar. Here’s a sample of the full designs:

๐The big Keep Creating envelope is B6-sized (5″ x 7″) and made of semi-transparent plastic, perfect for holding 20+ sticker sheets.โจ
The design matches the one on the journaling card, and I absolutely love itโmainly because it says โKeep creating!โ ๐จ
That message speaks right to my heart. I love to create! Whether itโs doodling, journaling, or setting up a planner spread, that little reminder makes me feel so encouraged and inspired. ๐๏ธ๐


The Thing I Was Looking Forward To The Most…
The Blob! ๐
This magnificent little guy makes me giggle every single time I look at it. ๐๐
Itโs made from zinc alloy with an antique bronze coating, and itโs surprisingly weighty! Technically, itโs a pen restโprobably designed with fountain pens in mind since so many TCMC fans love thoseโbut honestly? It works with pretty much anything. A pen, a markerโฆ even a small curling iron if youโre feeling wild. ๐๐ฅ
What I adore most are the engraved detailsโthe tiny face, the little logoโฆ so cute! โจ
And I laughed way too hard at the note on the box that said โThis is not an airplane.โ
(Confession: I immediately held it in my hand and flew it across the room making airplane noisesโฆ just to check. ๐ฉ๏ธ๐)
๐ธI love it so much, I dedicated a gallery to it:
If I had to mention one con, itโs that the felt bottom leaves a bit of black fuzz on some surfacesโbut itโs minor and wipes away easily with a hand swipe. ๐งฝ
The Thing I Didn’t Expect To Love As Much As I Do…
The All The Papers notepad! ๐๐
This one completely caught me off guardโin the best way! Iโd seen it before and thought, โOh, thatโs cute!โ but when I held it in my hands? ๐ I was instantly obsessed. I even went back and ordered two more copies to bring to work! ๐
I thought itโd be smaller, but itโs actually a great size at 5.75″ x 3.75″, with 30 sheets per pad. Each column is 1.5″ wide, which makes it super functional. And the paper styles? An actual dream: lined, blank, grid, and dot grid. Thereโs something for every mood and task! ๐ง ๐๐
And of course, the adorable emotis and stationery illustrations are just the cherry on top. ๐
Truly, a surprise fave!
