On May 5, 2017, the USPS issued these stamps as a nod to the beloved summer activity of strawberry picking. These sweet and juicy fruits are native to North America and can be found in every state in the U.S. For centuries, Europeans have enjoyed strawberries and even King Henry VIII of England had a love for them – famously inventing the popular dessert of strawberries and cream. But the strawberries we know and love today are different from those enjoyed hundreds of years ago. Before the 1700s, strawberries were grown from wild plants found in the forest. It wasn't until the late 1700s that a new variety of strawberry, created by crossbreeding North American and Chilean strawberries, was introduced. These new strawberries were larger and sweeter, paving the way for the delicious berries we enjoy today. 

So add a touch of history and sweetness to your letters with these "Strawberries" stamps. Perfect for any occasion, they are sure to make your mail stand out and bring a smile to the recipient's face. Don't miss your chance to add these adorable stamps to your postage!
