Save Your Hand - Get a Stamp… or Two or Three…

I love sending out holiday cards because it gets me in the Christmas spirit and makes me feel like I’m sending a little joy out in the world and well, I think we all need a little pick me up this time of year, however I wasn’t always excited about it. It used to overwhelm me. Just the thought of writing my address over and over again made me tired. My address used to be super long too which made it worse. Now though, I have a tool that gets the job done faster and looks better than my tired hand writing - a custom address stamp! I know it sounds simple, but if you are one of those people who hand is cramping up just thinking about holiday cards, do yourself a favor and just get an address stamp.

Getting a stamp for your holiday cards is not only cost efficient and hand-saving, but they are adorable too!

Using a return address stamp will save you a ton of time when addressing your holiday cards and once your holiday cards are mailed you can use it the whole rest of the year for snazzing up your bills, dropping a note to a friend, or sending out birthday invitations. It even makes my estimated taxes look pretty! An address stamp is a must, but there are other types of stamps that can help you out too!

A logo stamp will spice up the outside or the inside of your holiday envelopes and will put your business front and center this holiday season! You could even use it to make your own holiday cards for your business.

BONUS: You can also use it throughout the year to stamp packages, stationery, stickers, and other items for your biz.
