The funniest part was when I brought them home and Alex wanted them, and I had to explain they were ‘Mommy’s grown-up stickers’. So of course I had to hit up our neighborhood Dollar General to stock up on all the Lisa Frank stickers I could fit in my basket.
(There would be a lot of cupcakes there, too.)įast forward almost 30 years, and there just happens to be a Pocket Letter event themed “Lisa Frank Swap”. I thought (and part of me still does) that the rainbow-maned unicorn would someday, somehow, come to life and sweep me away into a magical land of happy beauty. She was my idol – from the rainbow spotted snow leopards to the adorable winged kittens – everything she made, I held sacred in its awesomeness. My light up LA Gear sneakers (in Black & florescent pink) and my Lisa Frank Trapper keeper were my two most prized possessions… with my Lisa Frank pencil case coming in a close third.

Something that could've really helped me? THIS TUMBLR ACCOUNT. I managed to pass the off the Lisa Frank calendars as semi-hilarious presents, and spent very little money. It was more like that last moment in an afterthought where you realize you're the one bad friend who forgot to buy everyone a present and you duck into a Newbury Comics hoping to find something ironic for under $8 in under 10 minutes. It wasn't one of those cute, premeditated sort of gifts.
