11/29/2020: Every year, I try to make our holiday gift wrapping special. I’ve tried a number of tricks – I’ve used things like origami, glitter snowflakes, personalized wooden ornaments, and last year’s packages were decorated with holiday gnome finger puppets. But one of my all-time favorite years was the year I bought plain white wrapping paper and rubber stamped the paper, with gift tags to match. I was thinking about that project when planning this year’s gimmick (I’m not telling), so I thought it might be fun to put up some of the cuter holiday-appropriate rubber stamps I found on Etsy. They’re an inexpensive way to make packages, gift tags, and holiday cards special.
When I looked in my favorited items, every stamp I had saved over the years was from the same maker – Old Island Stamps. The Canada-based company I tend to favor the hand-drawn-looking ones, but if you prefer more formal or vintage-style stamps, they have those as well.
You can see all the magical, adorable, fun stamps by the Old Island Stamp Company on their website and on Instagram and in their Etsy shop.

A most welcomed Christmas gift for my daughter when she was little–new stamps and different color stamp pads! So much fun.

I love that stuff. I’m not little and I would still be thrilled to get stamps!
