You can buy stickers all over the place. Beware of some of the cheap ones from China though, quality can differ a lot.
I actually try to make a living out of doing stickers myself, and I would love if you would consider some of my work.
Coming to think of it, I'd be happy to throw in a MacRumors discount.
Type in "MacRumors" at the end and you'll get a 20% discount.
I'll let it run for 7 days, and shipping is free as well.

Hope you find something you like.
Here's a personal favorite I've made.
That is fantastic.
As is this:

I never wanted to put a sticker on my Macbook before, but there are some really good ones here.
One question, do they come off easily when I want to remove it? Does it leave any residue?

For the few folks who aren’t “getting it” and who probably need to take a basic marketing course to really understand why ads like this are effective [for a brand like Apple], the post below is a good primer 
Some stickers does leave traces, but I've selected my materials not to.
Trust me, I've tested extensively as well as gone through dozens of different brands.
It's super easy to remove, you just peel them off with your hands, don't think it could be any easier.
I've done my own versions of some of the stickers in the commercial, so they've been added since you last visited the site, maybe one will suit you.

The kind of ads you propose sound a lot like soviet cars commercials to me, I don't why. Apple is just about design and design is inherently sentiment
If you don't care about design and "girly" stuff like that then you are not the target.
This is pretty fun

HA! I went to your site from a link in someone else's quote and bought the Newton one. Went to this original post to tell you I like your stickers and found out it's one of your favorites. Too funny. I really like your interactions with the Apple. Great job!
Thank you so much!
Please, if you have any ideas for other stuff I could do, please throw it up.
Some of my best sticker ideas comes from customers.
Here's a few off the top of my head. Don't know if they are original ideas, probably not, lol.
A flying dragon carrying the apple in its claw
A character that looks like Gollum holding it longingly (his precious, lol).
I loved the game Portal so a figure jumping into the Apple and coming out the other side (half going in the Apple and the front half coming out somewhere else on the cover).
The Apple as a moon of a planet that fills the lower edge of the cover. Similarly, one planet in an orbital diagram of all the planets or as the sun in the middle.
The Apple as one apple in a bowl of apples or assorted fruit.
The Apple coming out of a lake with ripples and a reflection.
Apple is becoming so different and I like it. But I can't help feeling guilty because that's not what Steve wanted Apple to be
I actually don't agree with this. Apple has been a lot of things over the years and surprised people. The iPod surprised Apple fans, as did the iPhone. Apple has always had a fun side and changed their image to match the times. I see this as the same thing.
Sticker Ad a Success...for Stickers
Whatever you may personally think of the ad...it's a success! From here:
As one does need an Apple laptop to properly feature such stickers, I think we can say that the ad is a success for Apple as well. It's that time of year when parents are likely to buy a new laptop or two for their going-back-to-school kids. And putting out this ad at this time, I think, is brilliant because all those students are likely to think "maybe a MacBook Air..." used or new.

Color or B/W pdf.
