Stuck on what to give someone? Try the USPS.
Giving gifts can be a lot of fun, or it can be a major pain. Even for people you know very well it can be a challenge to come up with something that’s unique and personal. It’s hard not to fall into the trap of giving the same person the same kinds of gifts every year –Aunt Edna may collect bunnies, but how many ceramic rabbits does one person need?
I’m searching for unique ideas for Christmas and Holiday giving this year, and will share some of these with you. I’m doing a lot of my shopping online, but many of these ideas can be purchased on-premise as well.
You don’t have to have an avid stamp collector on your list to find something interesting and different at the U.S. Postal Service. Their online shop has everything from apparel, to plush toys and coloring books, to stamp collecting supplies. And of course, stamps. Here are just a few things I found that I thought were unique.
A mailbox bank, for just $4.95 is cute – I would put some change in to get the little guy or gal’s saving started.
An uncut press sheet of stamps is collectible, and you can find something that would appeal to your recipient’s interests – like these Judy Garland stamps, perfect for someone who’s a Wizard of Oz fan. I would give this with a matt and frame.
They also have lots of cute, prestamped stationery, including these “Baseball Sluggers? postcards. Twenty stamped postcards, featuring cool baseball card artwork, run for $9.95.
If you’re “stuck? on what to give someone on your list, browse through the online shop at the USPS. There’s a lot more than stamps that can come “special delivery.”
