Anyone from avid scrapbookers and bullet journalers to sticker hoarders would know the ever-popular Stickerrific. This stationery shop’s shelves are filled to the brim with huge selections of marker pens, imported stickers, washi tapes, journals, wax seals, and more. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned crafter, you can find whatever arts and crafts supplies you need when sifting through their wide array of products (beware, you could easily spend a couple of hours in here).
And if that’s not enough reason to head over, Stickeriffic also houses several cats, known endearingly as the shop’s ‘paw keepers’, who you can find lounging atop the cashier (they like to fit in the washi tape basket) or ambling from aisle to aisle.

CzipPlus by CzipLee
Speaking of CzipLee, the business which is run by brothers Alvin and Jason Chen, did you know their landmark Bangsar outlet has finally completed renovation? The revamped store, known as CzipPlus, sports a refreshing new look with its cosy wood furnishings and neon lighting.
As usual, it offers a vast selection of stationery items such as writing tools, ink products, paper materials, packaging, journalling items, stickers, and even printing services. Its popular Ink Bar is also present where customers can make their own ink colours.
Notably, the brothers have had to sell their two-storey corner lot in Bangsar to help sustain their future business strategies. While it signals the end of an era for many, it also marks the beginning of a new chapter for CzipLee as CzipPlus will offer a more open and engaging setting with events and workshops, so keep your eyes peeled!
