Aaaaaah! Your google-fu is strong @bom_dia! :smiley:

I think I was expecting a complete Nativity scene and not separate stamps from different years… I guess that’s what confused me. :sweat_smile:

Sorry for the misunderstanding. They were issued in consecutive years and I found them worthy, because the rest of the time we get a regular Nativity image as Christmas stamp (like the one below).

I also remember a special stamp issued in Spain for the Europe collection in 2015, the theme was Toys and Correos issued a wooden train stamp and if you scratch it, you could smeel something like pine wood. The image is from TodoColeccion.net because I’ve sent the last of those stamps last year. Still had some smell.

I’m looking forward to the Forever Message Monsters 2021 stamps this year. They come with little stickers to personalize them, much like the Royal Mail Fruit & Veg stamps from 2003.

In Finland these children’s book characters Tatu and Patu are so cute and fun. The story is that they made the pictures to stamps by them self that is why they look like this :slight_smile:

Maybe these alpine skiing stamps from 2008. They are kind of 3D or hologram
