Since 1986, the films of Pixar Animation Studios have stretched the boundaries of our imagination with stories about unlikely heroes who explore the bonds of friendship and family. Now some of those heroes are the subjects of colorful new Send a Hello (Forever®) stamps that encourage people to connect with loved ones through the mail.
These new stamps capture the delight of finding a letter, greeting card, or package waiting in your mailbox. It puts a shine on the rest of the day-even before you’ve opened it. Despite all the ways we communicate with friends and family today, there’s still nothing as personal as knowing someone took time to choose a card … write a letter … wrap a package … and even choose a special stamp simply to “Send a Hello.”

“Yossi! Come home! It’s getting late!” – that cry ended our courtyard games as children. Every afternoon neighborhood children of all ages would gather outside to play games, with no adults in sight – we ran, climbed, blocked and went over obstacles. Without realizing it, we developed motor and social skills, learned to stand up for ourselves and also to concede, how to cooperate and get along with others and to invent new rules for old games.
