Background:
The Postal Service celebrates the joy that flowers bring with two new LOVE stamps.
Released early in the year for use at Valentine’s Day, this year’s LOVE stamps are also perfect for adding floral flair to letters, birthday or graduation cards, baby shower invitations or notes of thanks. Their addition will bring charm, whimsy and a bit of romance to any correspondence.
The LOVE stamps’ two designs feature graphic illustrations of flowers inspired by old European folk art on background fields of powder blue or coral pink. Both have three round, stylized blooms placed symmetrically along the top, with smaller round blossoms in each of the lower corners and vines interspersed throughout. The letters of “LOVE” are positioned among the decorative vines.
The Forever stamps are issued in panes of 20 and are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. Customers may purchase stamps and other philatelic products through The Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps, by calling 844-737-7826 or at Post Office locations nationwide.
The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to fund its operations.
