+I don't write and send physical letters often, but if there is anything that would make me reconsider then it would the USPS forever stamps.
+
+Forever stamps are first class one-ounce stamps. The price to ship these have gone up over time, but Forever stamps are always valid. The [USPS fact sheet](https://about.usps.com/news/fact-sheets/forever-stamp-facts.htm) shows that it started back in 2007.
+
+One of the coolest things about Forever stamps is that their design isn't static. In fact, they release new designs often and multiple are usually for sale at a time. As of the time of writing, you can purchase them online at this [link](https://store.usps.com/store/results/forever/stamps/_/N-1uq0torZ9y93lv). 
+
+The latest stamps to come out in recent months are:

+
