Motherword Planning Stickers Calendar – August 19, 2014

These are cute. Not quite what I expected. But that doesn't mean there bad and don't deserve the 5 stars. Everything from the purchase was great, and the product is good too. Just not what I thought they were. I expected them to be more brilliant colored ,like stickers are. I also thought they were be a stronger material. To me, it seems they are printed from a home computer. That might be nice to add in the description.

The quality is excellent. I like the idea of being able to write on the stickers with pen or pencil. There are some very useful stickers or I would not have bought them.But I do think quite a few areas are missed. For example, there are 6 stickers for swimming but there is not one sticker for holidays. There are 9 doctor stickers so why do you need 6 needle stickers? You could have Prescription stickers rather than the Needle. There are 9 music stickers and 3 concert stickers – music could serve both activities. There are important and special day stickers but I would like to have had more home centric stickers like Fertilize Lawn / Garden, Delivery, Service Tech, Electrician, Plumber, Pest Control, Anniversary, Vacation. I do like the Company Coming sticker. I have not seen that one before. For No School I would like to have had a stop sign or something different from early dismissal and back to school. No spring or fall break stickers, first and last day of school. No volunteer, sleepover, wedding, baby or bridal shower, funeral or memorial. Maybe some type of date night, movie night, game night, shopping or coffee date, picnic, festival, company or business event. It would be nice to get a sticker banner for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Black History Month, etc. I would be willing to pay more for more sticker options and for them to be re-usable or at least to be movable in case you make a mistake. I understand these are named Motherword, hopefully you can create some that are geared more toward youngish grandparents and for those people who no longer have children living at home.

The quality of these stickers is great- but I think they would benefit from a couple of improvements:The write-on portion of the sticker is kind of unnecessary, for example. If you used just the picture portion of the sticker - you can write an appt time next to it in the planner and take up less space than the sticker would.The write-on portion is 3x the width of the picture part- so it takes up a lot of room in the box where you place it. Multiple stickers in the same box? Forget it- there's no room left for writing other things.Also- the stickers are glossy, which makes it hard to write on them with a pen or pencil. I've been cutting mine down and using the picture section only (which is all I really wanted anyway)- which means there's a lot of waste, for my purposes.The 'events' chosen can seem a little odd sometimes. A first aid symbol that says 'needle'? 6 for 'swimming'? (Isn't that covered by 'lessons?) 9 for 'music' is excessive (and too specific) I wish they'd have kept them more generic...lessons, dr., dentist, appt., give more for 'birthday' and have some basic holidays.The pictures are adorable. The quality of sticker is wonderful. It's so close to a perfect product- I'd definitely buy more if some changes were made.

I like the concept of these, but some of the stickers are completely useless (to me) while the ones I need more of or need are not included. I know these are geared toward people with kids...but I'd like to see a set made that caters to active people without children, as well, so there are less stickers about school activities and more having to do with the day to day of adults. Some are just very random and specific like "Swimming" and "Company's coming" (what does that mean? beyond the obvious), "Needle"...yikes. Would like to see "Vacation", "Holiday", "Day off", "Road Trip", "Anniversary", etc. Believe it or not, I use the "Concert" and "Music" stickers, which is one of the reasons I bought this set. The school related ones I gave to my sister in law who has children.

These have enough categories and will cover most things you'd put in a planner. Just a note though, they aren't very cute. If you are looking for something really cute, go to Etsy.

Appropriate amount of room to write and especially like the variety of events.

Nice stickers and just perfect for my calendar! Thank you.
