Okay so everyone’s like BUY STAMPS but if you’re like me, you send maybe 5 letters a year, if that. You’re sitting there going “Okay, I could buy like… a page of stamps, but my last one is still only half-used… I’m more likely to lose it before I use them all up.”

That’s cool, same.

Here’s an alternative option:

Go to the USPS website, as if you’re going to buy some stamps, right? Browse through the fancy new ones until you find one you like… say this one:

Pretty neat, right?

Instead of buying the stamps that will literally take you years to go through, scroll alllllll the way to the bottom.

What’s that? A tote bag with the same design?! Yup! A set of 5 tote bags even, for your friends too. Wouldn’t that be cool to use for trick-or-treating?

You can also type the name of the stamp design you want into the search bar:

A mug! A rubber stamp set!

Different designs have different gifts! There are even gifts for designs they don’t have in individual sheets any more…

Look at the dragons!

There are so many cool things on the USPS’s website. And yeah, some of them also come with stamps (like the kid’s book) but hey, you’re mostly getting the book!

You can also start a collection with the first day of issue cancellations (usually about $2 each) and other fun things even if you don’t mail letters regularly.

BRUH. DUDE. THERE IS A TINY LITTLE USPS TRUCK, IM GONNA DIE

I use the USPS a lot. I send packages to my friends that live in Virginia, Georgia and California. I don’t want to put undo stress on the postal clerks at my town’s office during the pandemic, so I just bought about $50 dollars worth of stuff including the tiny car! And my asshole landlady only takes checks thru the mail so I now have plenty of stamps! Support the USPS!
