Or perhaps you can find sticker kits, but the designs don't take your fancy. Why not decorate it yourself? Here are two ways to do it:

1.
Get yourself an A4 sheet of paper and use a computer or your own art skills to draw/ paint your own masterpiece on it. Now cut the shape of the cartidge port and central vent out in the centre of the paper. Cut away some holes where the Reset button and power switch are. Now slop it completely with glue on the side which you didn't paint on, and stick it down. Easy! Thry the same for the controllers, but leaving holes for the buttons and control stick.

Or you could try this. It will take less time, but is slightly harder:

2.
Get yourself some paints, acrilic is best. Cover up the important parts like vents and plugs with masking tape, probably with about 3 or so layers of tape, and start painting. Once it's finished, leave it to dry. Any smaller details you can draw in pen, and voilá!

Try that second idea with your controllers. But there are a few extra things to do with the controller:

Using the correct sized screwdriver, unscrew every screw on the controller and gentally pull it apart along the split that goes down the middle. Remove the buttons cautiously including the control stick, and then begin. It's harder doing the half that has the curcuitry in it, so be careful. Paint it however you like and put it back together again by doing the opposite to what you did in order to take it apart.

You can do it to just about every part, except for the expansion pak, including the game cartridges. You can even create a small sticker and cover up the original one on the front of the cartridges to create your own personalised labels. Try spray paintingthe game cartridges, covering up the label and socket on the bottom and you can change the dreadful grey-coloured cartridge into a bright blue one or even spray it gold!

There isn't a label saying "Do not remove this label" on the Expansion Pak. There is one on the Jumper Pak, but not the Expansion Pak.

remember when you installed your expansion pack and there was a sticker saying

"Do not remove this label"

Well wouldn't it be cool if there was another label underneath saying

"I told you not to remove that label"
