Hmmmm. I'm sure they will be pretty. I just wish the were a little more Christmasy.

thanks for info

Thanks for sharing...love the simplicity of the pine ones.

Thanks for sharing...love the simplicity of the pine ones.

I do, too, Lisa. Those will be good for the entire winter season, too. Although I've been known to put snowmen stamps on a Mother's day card.

They are quite pretty. I think I like the pinecones. Australia Post have not issued any information about Christmas stamps for this year yet.

I was thinking the same thing about them not being very christmasy, but we will be able to use them all winter like Kim said. That's nice.

I do like the pine cones but would rather see Snowman, Santa or such.

 

[AuntJamelle]

Has there ever been snowman or Santa stamps? I can't ever remember seeing any...but I've only been buying them for so long. I would love to see those come out!

 

[Lana]

It has been years ago but I remember Santas. One year there was 4 different ones in the seris and they were pretty I thought. I even had stationary from the post office that I got at 75% off with the same pictures, envelopes and then notecards. I am thinking early 90's but that could be off!

I think I'm on the piecone bandwagon, too. I grew up around huge pine trees so those remind me of home. To think, I was just going to get the forever stamps because I usually don't like the Christmas designs.

2010 Holiday Stamps

Didn't think I would like the pine cones so I ordered the Winter Holiday and Hanukkah stamps tonight-want to get my cards done this week-WOMAN

They go on sale October 21st and are a "forever" stamp, meaning if stamp prices go up these stamps can still be used.

 

[Christmaslvr]

Yes, heard the same thing, that the pinecone ones are Forever Stamps. I didn't think I'd like them, but I also like that they can be for the entire winter season. I usually get 2 books of the non-religious and 2 books of the religious ones. Marking 10/21 on my calendar...

Thanks for sharing about the pinecone being forever stamps. That's the only way that I would buy them this year. I really don't like getting stuck with stamps after a hike in price.

I use to make a "Christmas Box" for my mom for Christmas, filled with things she needed. As a Senior, I knew she no longer wanted "things" to have to dust and take care of...it was a hit every year. Anyway, one year I put a coil of 100 stamps in there and sure enough around April they announced a price increase...and of course she hadn't used 100 by then! She had to buy lots of 1 cent stamps!

 

[Christmaslvr]

I was just looking at usps.com (I usually order my stamps online) and I have a question. In addition to this years stamps, they still have last year's....since there is no increase yet...we should still be able to use them right? I like last years Madonna and Sleeping Child a little better than this year's Angel with Lute. Hmmmm.....

Buying stamps by mail is really nice-our post office is always crowded and parking is not that great-they charge $1.00 for mailing them to you-my cards are ready to go- WOMAN
