I am having a hard time finding "special occasion" stamps. I am hosting a baby shower and would like to send the invitations with stamps with a baby shower theme. Tonight I went to the Main Post Office on Twin Rivers Drive and couldn't find any - the special "store" inside was closed (and I didn't see any baby-themed stamps hanging amongst their merchandise, anyway) and the machine that sells stamps in the lobby only sold Christmas stamps and generic stamps.

Does anyone know of any business - preferably in the Downtown area, as I only have my lunch hour to buy these - that sells stamps other than basic forever stamps?

Back in the day that postal truck stamp cart thing by the Statehouse had a pretty good stamp selection for being a postal truck stamp cart thing. Might want to check it out if it's still there.

There is a USPS store in the base of the Bricker Federal Building at 200 N. High (Spring and High) with a retail store. I doubt they have the special occasion baby shower stamps, but they should have a few interesting options.

The smaller, satellite post offices likely won't carry the full array of possible stamps. The main office is the one that will carry everything - and yeah, you'll have to hit the counter.

I don't see anything showing online that seems particularly baby showeresque, but there are some nice flower ones and I friggin' love the postal dog one.

Outside of those options, you'll have to use one of the online stores (easily google-able) to create a stamp, and have it shipped to you.

@rus - I saw the photo stamps advertised and they look pretty awesome; unfortunately, I didn't leave myself with enough time to order them ahead of time.

Post Office on Whittier usually has a nice selection.

Ordering them online can be a crapshoot on how long they will take to get to you. Although, last time I ordered, at least the shipping is free.

Personally, I am excited for the cherry blossoms design to be released. And this Love ribbons is pretty.

You sound like you are running out of time, but something like these would be neat! You would just have to get something else to get enough postage. :)

Or these Teddy Bears, omg so cute! :)
