Its possible to print your own stamps, not only that you can put anything you want on your photo. These are known as personalized photo stamps, they are suitable for letters, and also packages.
Personalized stamps from your home printer
To communicate day to day most people rely on email, however to celebrate a special occasion nothing quite beats a handwritten letter or a card. At Christmas for example, although e-cards are available, they are no where near as popular as sending a Christmas card by post.
Email is useful at getting information to someone else, however it cannot be used to send physical objects, this is perhaps another reason why the postal service is still so popular.
You can print your favorite photo and use this as a legitimate postage stamp, which makes it very easy to theme your stamp. For example if you are sending out invitations to announce your babys birth, then you could easily take a photo of your baby and use it as your stamp! Thats what I call personalization.
