Each time we move to a new home (which has been way too many times), I order a custom address stamp from Etsy.
It’s a small thing, but I always appreciate having it when I am addressing my holiday cards, and it looks chic and professional for sending happy mail to our friends and family.
I’ve recently purchased some other types of custom stamps, and in today’s post, I want to share them all with you.
Custom Rubber Stamps
There are so many cool custom stamps that are made to order on Etsy and Amazon. They are more affordable than you think—and so useful.
Here are a few ideas for stamps you can order to use in your everyday life:
- Custom Return Address Stamp
- From the Library of Stamp
- Custom Logo stamp for Small Biz Owners
- Custom Book Embosser
- Kids Art Stamp
- Custom Portrait Stamp (we used this for our wedding invitations)
- Personalized Teacher Stamp
Custom Address Stamps
Each time we move to a new home, I order a custom return address stamp from Etsy. This is the exact design I am currently using, and this is the address stamp I chose for our next home.

Custom Teacher Stamps
I have found so many great options for teacher stamps. These stamps are helpful for grading and personalizing notes from teachers.

Custom Library Stamps
After I built my kids a hidden library, I ordered them a stamp to personalize their books. We don’t do it for every single book, but the kids enjoy adding the stamp and it’s great for books. I give them as gifts, too.

Custom Wax Seals
I purchased an L monogram stamp from Etsy. You can also create fully custom designs. I love choosing from the different colors of melting wax. Wax seals are such an old-fashioned, luxurious way send a letter.
An important note is that when you send a wax sealed envelope in the mail you need to add 15 to 20 cents for “non-machinable surcharge.”
If you don’t want to pay the extra postage, I recommend using your wax seal for cards you will hand out in person instead.

A custom address stamp is my go to housewarming gift ever since I ordered one myself!
I love the library stamps! What a great gift, I can imagine my nieces would be thrilled with something like that.
Glad to know that stamping still has a place in today’s nigh fully digital world. Such an easy way to personalize gifts, correspondence, art and more. Thanks for the post, especially the links.
