We had a custom rubber stamp made for cards & gift wrap for the new shop. And now I’m wishing I had one made years ago just to use for my own personal gift wrap, note cards, and tags. The best custom rubber stamp for cards & gift wrap is from Casey Rubber Stamps.

It’s made by Casey Rubber Stamps in NYC. It’s a shoebox of a shop on the lower east side, but I really wanted to pick it up and see for myself. John, the owner (I’m not sure where the name Casey is from) handles all the orders by email or phone. Each rubber stamp is made right on-site in the back of the shop.
As always I join my friends Cindy and Mary Ann to share our favorite finds of the week. I have been pretty focused on my shop opening on Tuesday, so today I bring you my favorite custom stamp shop along with a few other favorite shops in the East Village.
Casey Rubber Stamps is located at 322 East 11th Street in the East Village, NYC
Why Casey Rubber Stamps?
These are the best rubber stamps made with the highest quality materials. They will last which makes them perfect for sustainable packaging. They can be used on any kind of paper, fabric, or paper tape to customize your shipping boxes. The uses are endless.
Find something in the catalog or have a custom design made
I recently redesigned my logo and so the stamp I had made is a reflection of the new logo for the shop. All you need is a PDF or JPEG and they can make your design starting at $20. Here is a link to the page about custom orders, what they will need, and all the pricing. They make it pretty easy and it’s so fun to have a custom stamp. It would be a great gift too! Perfect gift for kids, new home, newlyweds, new baby, from the library of stamps, signatures. Whatever you can think of, they can make!
Ideas on how to use a custom stamp
- kraft paper, butcher paper gift wrap
- white or kraft paper note cards and envelopes
- paper bags
- mailing boxes and padded envelopes
- tags
- business cards
- paper mailing tape
- small drawstring bags

3. One of my favorite Instagram accounts: Amanda Holland
@smallacornsamanda
Amanda has a shop and a cafe in Wellington, New Zealand, and has been an inspiration for as long as I have been following her. She’s a wonderful (and funny) storyteller and her love of flowers and color grabs my attention every single time! It was Amanda’s checkerboard chalkboard wall that inspired this one in our former home.
4. A Packable Sun Hat for around $25
I love this packable hat from the GAP and it’s currently 40% off.
5. A new pickleball paddle from J.McLaughlin
We recently started playing pickleball, so I was thrilled to receive this new paddle by Recess for J.McLaughlin in one of their signature prints.
Annie I am going to get a custom made stamp! I had one done years ago with our address on it and love it. What a cute gem. I hmm saving all these shops so I can visit them someday in NY! I am following your new shop. The stamp and logo is darling! So excited for you. xo
Thank you, Kim! I think I am going to have an address stamp made too! They are so old school!! Which we love! ha
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! What a fun post filled with great things. I really want a stamp! I just have to consider the logo. Love how you simplified yours.
Can’t wait to see you in July! And this makes be want to come up for a couple of days and tour around the Village with you. Perhaps with Cindy too!
Annie … I love the stamp idea and I’m going to order one with my logo! Love looking at your favorite shops and restaurants in the East Village. Makes me want to hop on a plane and explore. Pickleball is everywhere. When we lived on Fidalgo Island our neighborhood and a pickle ball court and I was confused by it … looks like racquet ball for outdoors. Good exercise and fun! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xo
I cannot wait for your shop to open!! So excited, and that custom stamp to die for. But I would expect nothing less!
Annie, congratulations o the new shop! So many lovely things! I love rubber stamps and had one made years ago for not only my name but also for my backed goods so that when I give them away people know they were made with love.
So many fun shops in the village, I have bookmarked this so that on my next trip to NY I can check them out.
Love the sun hat and the pickle ball racket, I need a new sun hat!
Have a wonderful weekend!
