One very popular theme for stamp collection is stamps from foreign countries. Often you can even get the stamps for free or for very little money.

If you have friends or family who visit foreign countries, simply ask them to send you a letter while they are away. Asking them to use a nice stamp that illustrates a particular country isn’t a big deal and most people will comply. If you are lucky, they might even bring you some more when they return. You can offer to get their mail in return for the stamps.

Most people will be glad to comply as long as all they have to do is give you an envelope. Co-workers may even know other people who can donate stamps. It never hurts to ask.

Another great thematic collection would be of animals around the world or animals indicative of a certain country. Everyone loves animal stamps because they are so cute. These are particularly fun for children. If you have friends or relatives who regularly write or send cards, ask them if they don’t mind sending interesting animal stamps because you or your child is collecting them. This request is really easy to implement and rarely will anyone turn you down,
