I’ve been hoarding cute bits of fangirl treasure for years, and for fans of 'CEO's Substitute Bride' there’s a surprisingly wide spread of merch out there if you know where to look.
On the physical side you’ll find printed volumes and special edition booklets (if the story has a published novel or manhwa run), artbooks, and chapter compilations that are great for coffee-table display. Smaller, pocket-friendly items include bookmarks, postcards, sticker sheets, and clear files—those transparent folder things that are wildly popular and perfect for school or office use. For display pieces, look for acrylic stands, character keychains, enamel pins, and badges; many independent artists sell character charms with acrylic or metal finishes. Posters, wall scrolls, and high-quality prints are common both from official shops and from convention artists.
Online marketplaces and fan shops pad out the options: Etsy and Redbubble often carry fan-made phone cases, tote bags, and mugs; eBay and secondhand seller groups can be treasure troves for limited runs and signed goods. If you want to go full cozy, there are dakimakura covers, throw pillows, or blankets printed with favorite scenes (usually custom-made). My favorite thing is an acrylic stand I keep on my desk—small, shiny, and it makes the whole workspace feel like a tiny scene from the comic. I still get a soft spot for any little enamel pin that matches a character’s motif.
There's a practical side to collecting that I’ve become pretty militant about: first, check the publisher’s official store or the series’ official social pages for any sanctioned merchandise tied to 'CEO's Substitute Bride'. Physical releases like special edition volumes, artbooks, and signed print runs (sometimes offered at launch or via lotteries) are the safest bets if you want authenticity. Outside of that, acrylic stands, keychains, enamel pins, and clear file folders are common small items produced for fans and often sold at conventions or on large marketplaces. For rare or out-of-print items I look to resale sites, but I always verify seller ratings and photographs—counterfeits happen, especially with enamel pins and figures. Fan markets such as Etsy, private commissions, and doujinshi spaces offer unique goods like bookmarks, prints, and small plushes that you won’t find anywhere else. Shipping and customs can kill a deal, so I factor that into my budget. At the end of the day I enjoy the hunt almost as much as the items themselves, and that thrill is part of why I keep collecting.
There’s a lot that appeals to a collector’s eye, and I tend to think about what’s both beautiful and useful. For 'CEO's Substitute Bride' fans, enamel pins and badges are practically must-haves: they’re affordable, easy to display on a pin board or jacket, and a great way to subtly rep a favorite character. Artist booths and online stores often have limited-run prints and postcard sets that showcase scenes or alternative character art—those are my go-to because they’re easy to frame. Another neat category is acrylic goods: stands, charms, and keychains capture character art in a compact, durable form.
Cosplay-friendly items crop up too—replica jewelry, brooches, or costume accessories inspired by the protagonists. If you prefer practical merch, phone cases, tote bags, and enamel mugs with tasteful designs are common on print-on-demand platforms; just watch for image quality and crop issues. Personally, I try to buy directly from artists when possible to support them, even if it means paying a bit more for higher print quality and faster communication. Shipping can be a hassle depending where you live, but the little thrill of unpacking a print or charm makes it worth the wait, at least for me.
I get weirdly excited about the creative side of merchandise, so when I think of 'CEO's Substitute Bride' merch my mind jumps to artist-driven goods and cosplay bits. Fan artists often produce high-quality prints, limited-run zines, and doujinshi that expand on scenes or side characters; those are gold at conventions or little online shops. Enamel pins and sticker sheets are easy to customize, which makes them great for trading among friends. If you like dressing up, there are pattern sellers and cosplay accessory makers who will create wigs, ties, or faux-jewelry inspired by the leads—sometimes even custom-tailored costumes. Kickstarter campaigns or small-run shops occasionally offer enamel pins, badges, and mini artbooks if the fandom gets big enough, and I’ve backed a few projects that included exclusive prints and sticker packs.
For my own wall, I’ve commissioned a full-color A3 print from an artist I follow; it’s not official, but it’s the only piece that perfectly captured a scene I wanted framed. If you’re creative, commissioning or buying directly from artists supports the community and yields unique pieces that you won’t see mass-produced, and that personal touch makes the collection feel much more meaningful to me.
I tend to gravitate toward the sentimental side of collecting, so what matters to me are items that capture a moment or feeling from 'CEO's Substitute Bride'. Fan zines, small-run artbooks, and commissioned sketches are gold because they often explore themes the official material only hints at. People in the community also trade bookmarks, handwritten letters, or curated postcard bundles—those simple things feel personal and often come with a little note from the artist.
Beyond paper goods, there are cozy lifestyle items I enjoy: character-themed candles, tea blends inspired by the story’s settings, and playlists people share to evoke the mood of particular chapters. If I’m splurging, I’ll commission a framed print from an artist whose line work I love and rotate it with other pieces on my shelf. I’m careful to flag whether merchandise is officially licensed or fan-made—supporting creators directly matters to me, even if it sometimes costs more. Lately I’ve been collecting small prints and a single enamel pin; they don’t take up much space but they keep the story close when I’m reading late into the night.
I tend to keep things budget-friendly, so I collect mostly digital and small physical items related to 'CEO's Substitute Bride'. Digital wallpapers, phone backgrounds, and downloadable icon packs are great because they’re inexpensive and often released by artists for free or a small tip. On the cheap-physical side, there are stickers, bookmarks, and affordable poster prints sold by fans on sites like Etsy or at local pop-up stalls. I also follow the series’ social media for occasional freebies—desktop wallpapers or postcard downloads they sometimes share.
When I want something a bit more tangible without breaking the bank, I’ll pick up a keychain or a small acrylic stand, and I often swap with friends so we all get different characters. Thrift and secondhand markets are surprisingly useful too; I’ve scored old promo postcards or a slightly scuffed poster for next to nothing. Keeping it simple lets me enjoy the vibe of the series without hoarding every collectible, and that’s been my favorite way to stay connected to the story.
My shelf is a chaotic shrine at this point, and 'CEO's Substitute Bride' stuff definitely plays a starring role in that chaos.
There are the basics first: official volumes and special edition printings if the publisher released them where you live. I’ve seen paperback collections, omnibus releases, and sometimes limited-run hardcovers that come with postcards or dust-jacket art. Around those I’ve collected character postcards, art prints, and posters—some official, many fan-made—because the illustrations are just too pretty to ignore. Keychains and acrylic stands are everywhere too; I have a little lineup of the leads on my desk. Beyond physical books and small merch, digital goodies matter to me: themed wallpapers, phone skins, and downloadable art packs that sometimes show up on the creator’s Patreon or shop.
If there was ever a drama adaptation or audio adaptation tied to the series, expect OSTs, CDs, or Blu-rays if they exist, and sometimes drama CDs get released in limited quantities. At conventions and online marketplaces I’ve also scored enamel pins, stickers, and custom dakimakura covers made by small sellers—those are usually unofficial but super popular. Personally, the blend of official releases and creative fan goods feels like the healthiest way to celebrate the series; I love hunting for a rare postcard or commissioning an artist for a unique print to keep my collection feeling personal.
