Founded in 2014 by designer and self-proclaimed 80s child Maureen Vazquez in San Luis Obispo, California, Pipsticks began as a side hustle to bring the nostalgic joy of sticker collecting to a new generation. The brand quickly evolved into a massive subscription-based stationery empire, catering to both children and a surprisingly large demographic of adult planner enthusiasts, journalers, and crafters. Pipsticks is defined by its vibrant, maximalist aesthetic, featuring bold colors, playful characters, and specialty finishes like holographic, puffy, and scratch-and-sniff textures.
