I'd maybe get a set of stick figure stickers if I could find the ones I'm looking for – three kids, a guinea pig, a fish, two cats, a step dad, a mother, and a pair of dogs with a line through them because I lost them in the divorce. Though I'm not sure there is enough room on the back glass for that much honesty.
