Diane demonstrated products to simplify storing Christmas tree lights and hooks to hang decorations from brick walls and fireplaces and hooks that go on walls, mantles, and windows without damaging the surface. If watering your Christmas tree is a struggle each year, be sure to see the product Diane found to make watering your tree simple.

Nowadays it seems as though every minute counts. If you want to save yourself 20 to 40 minutes every time you need postage stamps, order your stamps from the postal service through the mail. That’s right, purchase postage stamps without leaving your home.

The post office prefers that you purchase your stamps through the mail. It won’t even cost you a postage stamp to mail in your order form. Your local post office will provide you with a new order form and envelope each time you order postage. The larger your post office is, the more elaborate the form and envelope will be.

Once you have the form, select the type of stamps you want. Write a check for the amount of the postage. Place your check and order form in the attached envelope. Place the envelope in your mailbox without a postage stamp on it – it isn’t necessary. You should receive your order for postage stamps within two days.

To order stamps through the mail, you’ll first need to request an order form from your postal carrier or pick one up from your local post office. Print out our form to request a Stamps-By-Mail order form from your mail carrier.
