Finding the right gift for your Mom is probably the hardest task of them all. What could you possibly give to her that shows her just how grateful you are? The truth is, there may never be a gift that's as special as she is, but we've got a couple suggestions of things we know she'll love.

Whether you talk to your Mom all the time or only on occasion, start a new tradition this holiday season. Instead of sending her a text or a message on social media, make a point to start sending her letters. This doesn't have to replace your daily, weekly, or even monthly phone calls, but it'll be something that's special for just the two of you. Buy her a box of stationery and a new return address stamp and let her know you'd like to start sending letters back and forth. Not only will writing the letters be therapeutic for the both of you, it'll also make your day when you open your mailbox to find a letter from each other.

She may be a stay-at-home Mom or have a more traditional full-time job, but either way, she's definitely busy. Get your Mom a gift that will help her keep organized so she can get everything done in a timely fashion. Choose from a variety of different to-do lists, weekly notepads, or even journals. Not only will she stay organized, she'll also think of you everything she checks something off of her to-do list or goes shopping at the grocery store.

Gifts for Teachers

Every professional begins in a classroom, which is why it's so important to express our teacher appreciation every chance we get. This holiday season, show your gratitude to the teachers in your life, whether they're your children's teachers or your own. There are plenty of great restaurants you could get them a gift card to, but why not make it a bit more personal!

Teachers are often responsible for bringing their own supplies, from books to art supplies. Help your teacher keep track of their personal belongings with a personalized teacher stamp. With tons of designs to choose from, you're sure to find the design that's perfect for their style and needs.

Gifts for the Boss

Sometimes it may seem hard to figure out the right gift for your boss. You want to find something that's professional, but you also want to show that you appreciate all they do for you. There are plenty office-friendly gifts at Simply Stamps, so here are a few of our favorite ideas for your head honcho.

How do you make a gift for your boss both professional and meaningful? The answer is simple: you personalize it! A monogram stamp is a great gift for your boss because, chances are, they send a lot of correspondence. Help them impress whoever it is they're sending mail to, or just make it a bit more fun, with a personalized monogram stamp. All they have to do is stamp their initials to make their very own custom stationery.

Another gift that will help your boss make their mail more sophisticated is a custom embosser. Personalize the embosser with your company's logo or your boss' initials. They can create custom foils to seal their envelopes or brand their documents. An embosser is also a gift that will be appreciated for years to come.

Gifts for the Newlyweds

If your favorite couple just got married this year, there are so many fun holiday gifts you can get them! But you may find it challenging to come up with a unique idea no one else will think of. The last thing you want to do is give them a gift they'll have three of. We're here to help you think outside of the box.

Every newly married couple will need a new return address stamp! They may even still have thank you cards to send, so you know they'll put it to great use right away. At Simply Stamps, we have thousands of stamp designs to choose from, so you're sure to find the right style for the newlyweds. What's better? Every time they return address a piece of mail, they'll think of you and your valued friendship.

For the crafty newlyweds, find the perfect wedding craft stamp! Every couple loves the day they finally get to look through all of their wedding photos. Many choose their favorites and frame them so they can hang in their living room or bedroom. Others choose to compile them all into a scrapbook they can look through for decades to come. Give your favorite newlyweds something fun to add to their scrapbook with wedding-themed craft stamps. Personalize them with their names, dates, and more for a gift that's truly personal.

Gifts for Kids

There are millions of toys to choose from when finding a gift for your children this holiday season, but there are also many practical gifts you can buy that they will enjoy just as much. At Simply Stamps, we offer a whole line of stamps perfect for kids.

From clothing stamps to book stamps, stamps for their artwork to their own address stamps. This holiday season, encourage your children to send letters or create their own artwork, then give them a personalized stamp that will help them mark it as their own.

No matter what you buy your Mom, co-worker, or children this holiday season, remember to celebrate what's truly important: your gratitude and appreciation for one another. We hope we've made finding the perfect gifts for everyone on your gift list a little bit easier! Happy holidays to you and yours.

DIY Holiday Cards

A homemade holiday card is a great way to show a loved one you care, whether it accompanies a gift or is the gift itself. Something you've made is always more sentimental because it shows thought and effort. Here at Simply Stamps, we have a variety of different craft stamps to choose from. Two of our favorites, the Do You Want to Build a Snowman and Snowman craft stamps are a match made it crafting heaven. Combine the two together to make a holiday card that's festive and also easy to make!

Christmas Decor

If you're creating your own holiday decor, the creative possibilities are endless. From centerpieces to wall decorations, 'tis the season to get crafty! You can use just about any craft stamps in our collection to create a unique picture that can be placed inside of a simple frame. Our Hanging Christmas Ornaments craft stamp plus dark green and maroon markers would make for simple yet elegant wall decor this holiday season.

Easy Handmade Ornaments

Christmas tree ornaments are a gift that may only be used once a year, but they will also be enjoyed for years and years to come. Making your own ornaments make it a gift that's even more special! We love this fun Snowman craft stamp because it stamps perfectly onto paper ornaments and leaves a blank canvas for you to color as you'd like. Add your name and the year you made it so your recipient will think of you each year when they hang it on their tree! Laminate your DIY ornament so it will last for many Christmases to come.

Gift Wrapping

For craft-lovers, the gift wrapping is often just as exciting as the gift itself. We love to package our gifts beautifully so our friends and family can see how much love we put into it! Craft stamps are a great way to add a fun, finishing touch to your gift wrapping. Use a gift tag stamp to address your gifts, or create your own wrapping paper by stamping a fun pattern onto plain paper. The best part about adding craft stamps to your gift wrapping is the opportunity to make it completely your own!

This holiday season, find what inspires you and get crafting! From home decorations to DIY holiday gifts, there's nothing more meaningful than something you've created with your own two hands. Check out our huge selection of craft stamps and see what speaks to you.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Why is it that spring always comes and goes so quickly? Before you know it April is gone and her next door neighbor May is knocking on your door. Not that we've got anything against May- she’s a great gal and all, but we’re just never prepared! The weather begins to really warm up, the schools release their students for the summer and you’re suddenly incredibly busy with all that spring cleaning you didn't get around to.

But while we can’t help you figure out fun activities to keep the kids occupied with all summer, we can help you with another annual occurrence- Mother’s Day. Yep, it’s that time of the year again and it’s only two weeks away! Stumped on gift ideas? Don’t want to do the same brunch and flowers routine you did last year? Want to do something different and really leave a lasting impression? Now that is something we can help you with!

We've scoured the best of what Pinterest has to offer and we've put it all in this nice concise little list, and even if you don’t find something here that sounds good, hopefully it’ll spark some other ideas and send you off in the right direction!

Option 1: The Birds Nest Necklace

If you've got a craft store nearby, then this is a slam dunk. Women love jewelry, and anything sentimental just acts as an added bonus! All you need is some jewelry wire, a couple beads, a pair of pliers, and a chain. Just because you may have left the nest, it doesn't mean that you are gone or ever far away from her heart.

Option 2: Custom Address Stamp

She’s always on time with those, birthday cards, Christmas cards, get well soon’s and just because letter’s- you don’t know how she does it all but she does because she’s Mom. All the while you were growing up, she did her best to make your house into an actual home, she took care of you when you were sick, and was always there to listen. Make sure she feels appreciated and loved this Mother’s Day. We've just uploaded a wonderful assortment of styles to choose from that she’ll be sure to love!

Option 3: Photo Collage

A new twist on an old favorite! You can never go wrong with pictures, but why not try something a little different? With some Modge Podge, a couple wooden or cardboard letters, and some pictures, and you could create something truly unique and one of a kind! Or if that’s a little too time consuming, you could always go for the other option and have it framed! Either way she’ll love that you made it especially for her and will brighten her day for sure!

Option 4: Fingerprint keychain/necklace/bracelet

Like I said before, Mom’s love something personal, and you can’t get much more personal than a thumbprint! Whether you want her to carry it with her always, or just on those days you’re feeling particularly close to her heart, the choice is yours! This blog has plenty of quick, easy, and inexpensive ideas for how to make a lasting impression!

Option 5: The Gift Basket

Otherwise known as the "I Couldn't Pick Something So I Went Overboard And Bought You Everything I Could Think Of " gift. And believe us, there's is nothing wrong with this oldie but goodie! But are you stumped as to what to include in your basket or even how to go about making one? To start, any craft store is going to carry an assortment of baskets for you to choose from so you can make it as big or as small as you want. Also at the craft store, you'll find a big bow or some ribbon- now you can't deliver a gift basket without some ribbon or a bow at least can you? Now for the part that most people get hung up on- "what do I put in it"? Why not stick with a "Relaxing Day" theme? Throw in some chocolate, a chick-flick or maybe a movie the two of you could watch together? Maybe some nail polish and a candle for a spa day at home? If you live near a Bath and Body Works, all of their spring candles are out now and on sale (psst. The Watermelon Lemonade one is a winner!). Don't know what nail polish colors to get? Aim for the colors similar to the below options, and you'll be fine!

Ultimately, what Mother's Day really comes down to is the chance to say "Thank You" to the amazing women in your life. The one's who have been there for you through everything, the ones that you know you can call after a bad day and they'll make you feel better every time. Embrace this opportunity to show your appreciation and admiration for the women in your life!
