The Bonbon Drop craze continues

One of the hot Santa Claus list items for Christmas 2025 were stickers, but not just any stickers, the famed "Bonbon Drops". It is hugely reassuring that young people have returned to the simple joys of stickers, but it blows the mind that this led to a crisis this past Christmas when hundreds of stores around Japan were sold out of "Bonbon Drops" and parents worried about disappointing their children on Christmas morning.

Christmas is well and truly over, but the Bonbon Drop boom continues. Bonbon Drops aren't even two years old yet, but they have revived a sticker exchange craze among students. And not just elementary school students either, but Junior High even Senior High school students. Some adults have even caught Bonbon Drop fever. It is refreshing that something as simple as 3D glossy, transparent stickers can entertain thousands and thrive in the era of technology.

I have two daughters who collect and exchange Bonbon Drops. They aren't cheap, but it is lovely to see them get so much joy out of stickers. Sticker collecting and exchanging was a thing of my childhood too. Has Bonbon Drop fever come to your house too!?
