Looking for a fun way to send off letters or invitations? Need a great gift for that person who has everything? Photo stamps might be right up your alley! Not only would these stamps be fun for personal use on things like birth announcements or birthday invitations, but they also make great gifts. We gave some to our boys' grandparents for Christmas, and they were a big hit! They would also be a great gift for parents of a new baby.

Through PhotoStamps, you can create your own postage stamps with a photograph that you upload. The stamps are available in many denominations, ranging from the 27-cent postcard stamp on up through the $4.95 priority mail stamp. Prices are higher than traditional photo stamps, but there are volume discounts if you order two or more sheets. You can also find customizable stamps at Zazzle.com.

Has anyone else used these stamps with success? When are you willing to pay extra for the ability to customize the photo on your stamps? - Sara I.
