Postage stamps

The United States Postal Service (USPS) issues Forever stamps that can literally be used forever to mail a 1-ounce envelope. The price of a Forever stamp is the same as a regular first-class mail stamp. You can find stamps for every occasion that feature people, nature and other categories. Many stamps honor great Americans like John Kennedy, Andrew Wyeth and Elvis Presley. Look for fun stamps such as Snowy Day, Walt Disney Villains and Scooby Doo.

Stamps from the Love series are ideal for wedding or bridal shower invitations. Novelty stamps, which show off bright neon colors or scratch-and-sniff aromas, are great for letters and cards sent to both children and adults. Self-adhesive stamps are issued in rolls of 100 and strips of 10 as well as in sheets and books of 20. Air mail and post card stamps are also sold in several formats and feature numerous designs.
