There isn’t a time in recent memory like the past two years. It’s perfectly understandable if you’re feeling burnt out and your outlook on life is a little bleak. But it’s not all doom and gloom—give yourself a mood-booster in the form of a cute Quby lamp! You might already be using Quby stickers on WhatsApp, but did you know there is an extensive range of Quby-branded merchandise out there? From bedside lamps to shopping-ready tote bags, let the adorable smiley creature bring cuteness into your everyday life.
What Is Quby? And Where Is It From?
Characterised by its rosy cheeks, abnormally huge head, and stick-like limbs, Quby (also known as Pentol) was created by Zhong Chaoneng in 2015 for the popular instant messaging platform WeChat. The first sticker pack was so successful that Zhong left his day job to become a full-time sticker designer.
Multiple sticker packs later, Quby is now used by millions of people in everyday conversations on many platforms. Whether it’s sadness or joy, cheerful or depressed, there’s always a Quby sticker to convey your inner feelings without needing words.
Quby Lamps And 7 Other Adorable Quby Items For Daily Use

Illuminate any space with a Quby lamp! Doubling as a table lamp on a nightstand or dressing table, it’s an eye-catching (and terribly adorable) statement piece for the bedroom or living room. Made from a silica gel material, the lamp is gentle to the touch and highly squishable like a plushie! We won’t blame you if you cuddle it to sleep. The light is warm and soft too, making it conducive for reading. No assembly and lightbulbs are required because Quby lamps are USB-charged right out of the box. How convenient!

A T-shirt is a staple in any wardrobe, no matter your fashion choices. While solid tees are great for day-to-day wear, sometimes it’s good to add a little spark with some graphic threads.

Complete your look with stylish jeans and sneakers, and you’re all set for a breezy day out!

A tote bag should be sturdy, comfortable, washable, and most importantly, fun to carry around! And it doesn’t get any cuter than a quirky Quby print. Specifically, this beige tote bag serves as the backdrop for a number of Quby designs to choose from. Great for packing lunch or short grocery runs, it’s a practical carry-on that certainly isn’t boring.
6. Plushie
Like a Quby lamp but the fluffy, non-illuminating equivalent. Snuggle this plushie to bed at night or accompany you when lounging on the couch. It’s also a great gift for the Quby fanatics in your life. There are two sizes to choose from with the larger one measuring in about 30cm in height.
