22. Address your bills in high style

My friend Anne reminded me of the address stamp gift. This one's great for anyone who's just moved. There are so many options online from economical to fancy pants that it's definitely an affordable and easy little gift for pretty much anyone as long as you have their mailing address. I prefer self inking since it's more practical, but the old fashioned wooden stamps are charming too.

Economical: Starting from $10, the Ideal self inking series is a great basic address stamp. The Ideal 100 is a good size. I like Rubber Stamp Champ for low prices, good service, different colors and fonts. Their site also has a great preview function to see what you've designed.

Fancier: Starting from $25, you can order custom self inking stamps from an array of designers on etsy. "Save the date" has a large collection of styles. I just ordered a stamp from this seller and they were quick to provide a proof. I'm waiting for the stamp to arrive so I can report back on quality. Some of their designs will actually appeal to men. Notetrunk also has a lot of fun unique designs.

Handwritten: Starting from $40, you get a handwritten design stamp from Lettergirl. It's kind of like having your own autopen except this designer has way nicer handwriting.

Audience: Not homeless people.
Benefit: Easy, economical, plenty of web options.
