… If you’re in the UK! But, come on, we know you love nerdy stamps. You went CRAZY for NZ Post’s The Lord of the Rings stamps, and you know it’s true. And now the time has come to bring your philatelist love to Stranger Things. The UK’s Royal Mail has wisely created some commemorative Stranger Things stamps to help you celebrate the series finale of the show we’ve all loved for ten years of our lives. Plus, you know you HAVE to have these Stranger Things stamps because they know what’s up. Yes, they have an Eddie Munson stamp, just for us, making Eddie Munson the only dead character (plus or minus Vecna, we guess) to receive the honor of a feature on the stamps. In addition to just stamps, there are also all kinds of Collector’s Edition items you can buy celebrating the Stranger Things collection. Let’s take a look!

Which Characters Are on The Stranger Things Stamps?

The main collection of Stranger Things stamps features three different stamp strips, each featuring different characters we know and love.

The first Stranger Things stamp strip prominently features Stranger Things season one Eleven, Dustin, Steve, Nancy, and Stranger Things 5 Eleven. Stranger Things one Eleven’s stamp also pictures Joyce. Dustin’s stamp meanwhile has Lucas and Mike on it. Steve’s Stranger Things stamp (alongside with wisely depicting him in his Scoops Ahoy! uniform) also contains Robin and Erica. (We stan a stamp!) Nancy’s stamp has Jonathan and Henry Creel. (A ship no one saw coming) And finally Stranger Things 5 Eleven’s stamp depicts Hopper and Linda Hamilton’s Dr. Kay.

The second Stranger Things stamp strip features Will, Hopper, Max, Eddie Munson, and Vecna. Will’s Stranger Things stamp also gives us a Demogorgon and Barb. (Good for Barb!) Hopper’s stamp brings with it a demodog and Will. Max gets the Mind Flayer and Billy. Eddie Munson’s Stranger Things stamp (yes, with Eddie in the middle), sees Dustin and Max join him. And finally Vecna’s stamp gives us Holly and Mr. Whatsit. (A double Vecna).

The final Stranger Things stamp strip and perhaps the coolest of them all is an art-piece made of stamps. We see a full scene of The Party riding their bikes away from the Mind Flayer that includes a Lucas stamp, a Will stamp, a Mike stamp, and a Dustin stamp. We love it!

What Kind of Stranger Things Stamp Products Are Available to Buy?

In addition to straight sheets of Stranger Things stamps, you can buy postcards, framed enlargements, posters of the stamp art, a medal/coin of Vecna and Eleven, different souvenier sheets and more. Many of these also come with a “Welcome to Hawkins” or “Hellfire Club” postmark stamp. You can check out the full collection here.

Having your credit card information stolen is more common than you’d think.

In fact, there were over 748,000 cases of identity theft in the first half of 2025 alone. Credit card fraud comprised a majority of those cases.

Yes, we’re early in the New Year, and the holidays are barely in our rearview mirror. But by our rules, that just means it’s time to start preparing for Halloween. That’s right, it’s simply never too soon to start getting ready for spooky season. And if there are Christmas Advent calendars, shouldn’t there be Halloween Advent calendars too? Luckily, there are. And one of them features the official mascot of October 31, Michael Myers. Sorry, Jack Skellington and Sam from Trick ‘r Treat, but Michael called dibs on that role back in 1978. You can check out images of the Michael Myers Buildable Halloween Advent Calendar, which you can order right here, below:

This terrifying advent calendar, which counts towards the Halloween festival, results in a 7-inch Michael Myers replica statue. And it looks just like the version of “The Shape” from Rob Zombie’s 2007 Halloween remake. The Michael Myers figure comes complete with his iconic knife, gravestone, and pumpkin, all which are ready for display in your home. It has 13 unlucky pieces that easily clip together, so you won’t have to worry about any mess needed with glue. This is available for October 19, so perfectly ready to count down towards that Halloween fun. This replica statue is officially endorsed and licensed as a Rob Zombie collectible.

Once October 31 is over and done with, the Halloween Michael Myers replica statue can then be used all year round. Why not proudly display him all 365 days of the year after the countdown is complete? After all, Halloween is whenever you want it to be, right? The different pieces of Michael Myers come in a box that recreates the movie poster for Zombie’s Halloween. It’s the perfect gift for fans of the iconic slasher franchise. Even if it’s actually a gift for yourself.

At this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the world premiere of Kikuyu Land offers a gripping look at how history, family, and corporate power collide over the land that shapes a people’s very identity. Directed by and starring Nairobi journalist Bea Wangondu, alongside co-director Andrew H. Brown, the film follows Wangondu as she investigates a high-stakes land battle between local government forces and a powerful multinational corporation. What begins as an inquiry into corruption and exploitation soon uncovers buried wounds and long-held family secrets.

For the Kikuyu people, land is more than about property, it is about identity, heritage, and survival. Yet Kenya’s colonial past stripped communities of ancestral territories, leaving generations to work under harsh conditions on lands now owned by corporations. Wangondu’s lens captures the beauty of the Kenyan landscape while exposing the scars left by this history.

Through her investigation, Wangondu highlights voices often unheard: workers sharing stories of exploitation, lawyers and activists fighting for land restitution, and families grappling with dreams of life beyond the fields. Interwoven with these narratives are Wangondu’s own personal revelations, which add an intimate, human dimension to the film’s broader social critique.

Kikuyu Land is both a documentary and a deeply personal journey, guided by Wangondu’s relentless pursuit of truth. The film portrays a land that is a living witness to historical trauma, and the people who continue to fight for justice, dignity, and a reclaimed future.

The world premiere screening is available in person at Sundance 2026, and for public streaming online from January 29 through February 1.
