Even in this digital age, nothing beats the personal touch of a handwritten letter. Whether you're keeping up correspondence with a friend who lives far away or planning to send out hundreds of save-the-date cards and wedding invitations, I found something that can help make sending mail even more special.
Ontario-based Etsy seller The Paper Shoppe makes custom address stamps that you can personalize with your name(s) and address to save you the headache (and wrist cramps) that can come with writing out your return address hundreds of times whenever you're sending out party invitations or holiday cards.
These minimalist stamps are nothing like most of the return address stickers I've seen over the years, and there are a few different designs to choose from. This Personalized Address Stamp, for instance, is made specifically for couples or roommates, as it has space to fit two first names and an address. It's the one I ordered a couple days ago, and the seller already sent me a proof to look over! By the way, it looks perfect.
A few years ago, I bought a tank top from Unblushing that reads "Snail mail is my jam." I don't think I own anything that sums me up more accurately, and it's actually on sale right now, if you want to pick up one of your own. But now that I think about it, I can't believe I didn't think to order one of these stamps ages ago. I mean, it literally has my name all over it! Now I'll just be by the mailbox, waiting for it to get here ...
For any of you out there who are planning weddings, this seller also makes stamps that can help you with other aspects of your big day, including a custom Save the Date Stamp and matching Thank You Stamp. Like the others, they're priced at $40.84 each, and most items from this shop cost an extra $6.81 to ship.
