    Do you still send out Christmas cards? I do. It's an annual tradition I really love and, and this year, I'm looking forward to getting my three-year-old son involved in stamping all the cards and popping them in the post. And then there's the joy and excitement of finding a stash of Christmas cards from all over the world in your own letter box!

    But there's one thing that literally cramps my Christmas style, and that's writing by hand. Oh my. After writing 30-odd personalised greetings, my hand is barely capable of anything beyond a scrawl. It's the one annual exercise it really gets, as I rarely write anything by hand anymore. The pain! So now we've moved to the Treehouse, I think it's time we invested in a custom-made return address stamp, to save my hand and add a personalised touch to our Christmas cards. Practical and nice! I rather fancy the woodsy tree stamp by Sparkvites on Etsy, but it doesn't quite capture the essence of a treehouse in the middle of the Australian bush. Still, there are loads of personalised stamps in all manner of designs on Etsy, and now is the time to put your order in, as the turn-around could be two-to-three weeks.

    Tell me: do you still send out Christmas cards? And which address stamp is your favourite?
    Full disclosure: I’m an Etsy Tastemaker (woo-hoo!) and I hand-picked these pieces for my Etsy Tastemaker page. If you buy something from Wee Birdy's Tastemaker’s page, I will receive a small commission fee (which would be jolly helpful since Wee Birdy is my full-time job). Please note that I only blog about things I genuinely really like, and think you should also know about. Editorial inclusion on Wee Birdy is based purely on merit and its ability to make me smile (exploding confetti jets optional). Thanks for supporting the brands that make Wee Birdy possible.
