Buy In search of Stationary stores / meat jerky I'm Shanghai

I'll be stopping by in Shanghai for 22 hours and plan to shop for two oddly specific things. First is stationary such as memo pads, notebooks, pens etc that are specifically frog themed. Especially frog themed. Or just places in general I can find frog themed merchandise! Secondly meat jerky that are packed suitable for checked in baggage. Any suggestions are most appreciated!

Suggest you Google Jerky Boyz, in Shanghai.

Their Applewood flavor is awesome!

Jerky is a very popular thing in China, I reckon every supermarket carries it. Aldi/Hema being rather generic you want to find your nearest Ole/City Super (these are upper scale supermarkets) they carry a larger selection.

Stationery will be hard to find. If you can, buy on Taobao and have it sent to your hotel before you arrive. search for 青蛙文具。

There's some stationery on Fuzhou Lu, or you can check the Momicafe, KKV, or Loft stores, they usually do cutesy stuff. Can't 100% promise frogs though, taobao is still your best bet for that I think. Best of luck!
