Simply Stamps is a small business based on a legacy that promotes respect, efficiency and enjoying our work. We’re passionate about stamps, but we’re also passionate about life. We know it’s fast-paced, busy and often hard, but we give emphasis to the importance of appreciating the little things. We hope to share that idea with the world through our Simply Send More Letters campaign. If we all take time out of our appointment-filled day to send love to someone in our lives, we’ll spread happiness one letter at a time.”

Show someone how much you care and bring back snail mail this Valentine’s Day with us! Enter our Simply Send More Letters Contest.

Not only will the person you love feel good about receiving mail, but if you share a picture of your letter on social media and use our hashtag, you will be entered to win a prize package from Simply Stamps. We are giving away gift certificates to spend on anything you like in our store. Choose from Personalized Gifts, Stationery, Custom Address Stamps and much more.

Help us give to a cause.

The research shows that one in five American children have never received a handwritten letter. Studies also show that handwriting is directly linked to literacy and educational development. For these reasons, in addition for every entry that we receive, we will donate $1.00 to Reach Out and Read . Read more about Teaching the Love of Snail Mail in our blog post article here.
