Bicycling Stamps!
« on: May 23, 2020, 01:07:40 PM »
Looks like bicycling, hiking, canoeing* and more. What's not to love?

I know most of us use bill pay, and there are only four bicycling stamps per sheet, but it might be a great gift for your favorite hard-to-buy-for/doesn't-need-anything mustachian.

*Sorry can't tell for sure, but I don't think it's a kayak. Boo.

What? I'm the only one that thought these were cool? Do all the bicyclists live in Canada and have no use for US postage stamps? I guess I don't have to worry about ordering them fast before they sell out, lol.

I think they are pretty cool ... but I'm Canadian and have no need of US stamps.

And if Trump manages to kill the USPS they'll be collector items! Love those stamps.

That is definitely a canoe.

Unfortunately, I just bought stamps at Costco last month. That should last me a couple of years.

Ha! I was on the website ordering a specific stamp for a gift, because it's cheaper to have USPS ship them. I know we need stamps, but I decided to wait until my next Costco run for ours, because that's a better deal. I don't care what ours look like, lol!

I think they're super cool, but I purchased some Costco stamps four years ago and I think it might turn out to be a lifetime buy for me.

Maybe that's why they're called "Forever" stamps...

I just got six month's worth of stamps last month, or I would be all over them! I always ask for stamps for birthday and holiday gifts, because I love to send handwritten letters, cards, and postcards. Right now I have Year of the Rat, Sesame Street, Orchids, Love stamps. (Plus an envelope of old but uncancelled stamps I got off Ebay to group on letters so that the recipients get a colorful antique array.)

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
