Who doesn’t like to be spoiled with a nice gift? If you have a stamp collector in your family, or as a friend, you may wonder what you could get them as a gift. Especially if you’re not familiar with stamp collecting yourself.
Now, if you don’t know what your stamp collector’s particular interests are, it may be difficult to pick something out for him/her. If you want to make the gift a surprise, then it may not be a good idea to go asking them what their special interests are. After all, they might get suspicious and that could ruin the surprise!

According to many sources, Canadian cork cancellations are particularly prized by many collectors. Here’s a little bit of their history.
