Every year, there are a few toys that make me wish I were a kid again. And after seeing the results of our Best Toys of 2026 testing, I think I've found my latest obsession: a little AI-powered machine that turns just about anything you can imagine into a sticker.
Meet the Hapiko StickerBox, a $130 sticker printer that earned a rare 10 out of 10 from both of our toy testers. Want a ninja riding a rainbow unicorn? Done. A princess astronaut? Sure. Kids can dream up their own designs, print them in seconds and color them in with the included pencils. And honestly, I'm not sure who would have more fun with this thing, my 6-year-old or me.
The StickerBox was recently unavailable on Amazon, but
it's finally back for preorder, with orders scheduled to ship beginning Oct. 28. I actually signed up for an availability alert and bought one for my son the second I got the notification. Mine has already shipped, and I cannot wait to see what he comes up with.

Why our toy testers gave the Happiko StickerBox a perfect score
We had two staff members put the Happiko StickerBox to the test for our Best Toys of 2026 awards, and both gave it a perfect 10 out of 10.
The biggest selling point? Kids aren't limited to a handful of premade designs. Using the companion app, they can create personalized stickers inspired by just about anything they dream up. The app also includes photo booth strips, holiday projects, educational activities, gift tags and scrapbook stickers.
"StickerBox was easily one of the coolest products we tested," said tester Jennifer Cicatelli. "After downloading the companion app and naming our StickerBox 'Sticky,' the kids were immediately hooked."
And the fun didn't stop after the first few stickers.
"I'm covered with stickers, and we keep making more," said editor and tester Alora Bopray.
Alora even noted that her mother-in-law, a speech pathologist, wanted one for her classroom after seeing its potential for helping kids practice speech sounds.

Where to buy the Happiko StickerBox
The Happiko StickerBox is available for $130 at Amazon, with preorders scheduled to ship beginning Oct. 28. You can also order it directly from the Hapiko Stickerbox website.
The toy is recommended for ages 5 and up, making it a fun gift idea for creative kids who love coloring, crafts and coming up with their own imaginative characters.
After seeing two perfect scores and hearing how much fun our testers' families had, I didn't need much convincing. My son's StickerBox is already on its way, and while it's going to stay tucked away until Christmas, I'm fully prepared for every available surface in my house to end up covered in stickers.
Honestly? Worth it.
