Let’s be honest with ourselves... everyone loves stickers. We finally updated our Gabber sticker collection for you all to enjoy.

One of our new options include rainbow hands forming a heart with the words “We Say Gay” in support of the LGBTQ+ community. The oth- er option is a flamingo friend reading our April issue featuring a black skimmer with its fuzzy chick for Florida’s nesting season.

Come get your stickers and slap them on your water bottle, your laptop, or even your car. Send us photos to news@thegabber.com of where you decided to stick ‘em. Our office is open 9-5 Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. We and the Gulfport Beach Bazaar have limited supply.

You won’t want to miss out on adding these two stickers to your collection.
