Stamp Requests

one last stamp before saying goodbye for good

I’d love to suggest a stamp featuring fireflies, tiny beacons of light that dance in the darkness. This stamp could beautifully blend the gentle glow of fireflies with a starry night sky, symbolizing "hope", wonder, and quiet resilience. Fireflies are nature’s lanterns, often seen in warm summer nights, reminding us that even the smallest light can shine through the dark. This stamp would capture the feeling of stillness and beauty that comes when you're surrounded by both the natural glow of fireflies and the vastness of the cosmos. It could be a symbol of long-distance connection, hope through the darkness, and dreams carried across time zones — everything that Slowly stands for.

FIRST !! i am aware that we already have a set for some books. However !! i think most people relate much more to Hugo, whether in france or in the world, and would recognise his work or characters ( thanks to disney too haha). So that's why it would be terrific to have this set. i love the Jules Verne set that we have, i bought it the second i saw it. And i think there is an opportunity of doing the same with Victor Hugo's novels !! But in a different way. First, it could be a set, with a stamp for each of his works. One for The hunchback of notre dame, another for Les miserables, which could represent famous scenes... For his shorter works, scenes too would be adequate. OR, it could represent one character from each novel OR ( my personal favourite) it could represent only one of his work, like for instance The hunchback of notre dame, and make a set with a representation of all the amazing characters. I tried to represent it, and i'll link the images. I picked a grey outlined, because i thought that since most of his work were really tragic it would match the vibe. Behind the characters is Hugo's actual handwriting of the novel, but it could also be used as the outline which would be amazing and very different from all the monochromatic outlines we now have. And represented down here is a version in color, which features a modern representation of esmeralda, and an another version, which i think way cooler, representing an drawing of what is supposed to be claude frollo( it isn't, it's just for the exemple ), in an ancient style. I think it could be cool to re use some old illustration of the characters that we have. The "vintage" style would be amazing, because it's sooo different from what we already have. It looks more serious, more expensive, and it would definetly catch the eye of anyone recieving it. it would be eyecatching along all the colorful stamps we have for france, especially with the handwriting thing and the dark outline. Please vote if you like my idea, i would sooo buy this set if it existed !!

Stamps with 'hello' in various languages. Eg: привет , 你好 , ഹലോ .

Along the Atlantic coast of Central Africa, Gabon’s beaches remain one of nature’s best-kept secrets. Endless stretches of golden sand meet the deep blue ocean, framed by coconut palms, mangroves, and the quiet rhythm of fishing villages. These shores are more than scenic views — they are living landscapes. Here, sea turtles return to nest, fishermen set out at dawn, and the horizon glows with breathtaking sunsets. The air carries the scent of salt and the stories of generations. This stamp honors the wild, unspoiled charm of Gabon’s coastline — a place where time slows down, and nature speaks in waves and wind

A tribute to the shy but fascinating animal that lives in Gabonese forests.

Latin America is home to some of the most colorful and unique species in the world! A set like this would not only be visually stunning, thanks to the incredible range of colors, but also a beautiful way to highlight the rich biodiversity of Latin America. It could even help spark curiosity and appreciation for the wildlife found in this part of the world. Here's some suggestions: https://mnlatinos.com/blog/2021/01/05/the-national-birds-of-latin-american-countries/

Laos doesn't have it's location-based free stamps. So far, it only has three region-exclusive stamps for celebrating certain fesitivities such as That Luang Festival, Pi Mai, and the Flag of Laos. It would be nice to have some free landmark stamps and here are some of my suggestions: Pha That Luang A 16th-century Buddhist temple in Vientiane Capital that is regarded as the symbol of Laos. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/49/Pha_That_Luang%2C_July_2023.jpg Patuxai "Victory Gate" in Vientiane Capital commemorating Laos' struggle for independence from France. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/28/Vientiane_-_Patuxai_-_0003.jpg Wat Phu A 7th-century Khmer Hindu temple located in the southern part of Laos.

These days, many of us are learning how to offer ourselves the love and support we once sought from others. A “Self-Love & Self-Hug” themed stamp could be a meaningful reminder to be kind to ourselves and to honor our self-awareness, especially for those of us in the Slowly community who may be navigating loneliness or healing journey. Such a stamp can carry a simple yet profound message, gently reminding us of something we all need from time to time: to treat ourselves with compassion. The design could feature a figure hugging themselves, or arms gently wrapped around a heart. I believe it would add a special touch to letters that carry inner journeys, friendship, support, and awareness. And perhaps, it could also serve as a small gift of gentle encouragement. ☺️🙏🌸🍃✨

The Azerbaijani carpet is a traditional handmade textile of many sizes, with dense texture and a smooth or rough surface, whose patterns are characteristic of Azerbaijan's many carpet-making regions. Traditionally, since ancient times the carpets were used in Azerbaijan to cover floors, decorate interior walls, sofas, chairs, beds and tables. The art of Azerbaijani carpet weaving is included in UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. This traditional art was included in the list by UNESCO in 2010 and is of great importance for Azerbaijan's cultural heritage.
