I've been a big fan of photostamps since the U.S. Postal Service authorized Stamps.com to run its first market test in 2004. PhotoStamps look similar to regular stamps, but instead of a historic figure or a rare butterfly the picture on the stamp is yours. For a premium of 25 cents to 60 cents or so each over the cost of ordinary postage, maybe PhotoStamps aren't something you would use to pay your bills. But they're just the thing for the invitations, announcements, and greeting cards that make up the bulk of the first-class mail that most people send out.
