"Remembering how disappointed I was when I lost or bent postcards when I was a kid, I decided my kids needed a special place for these simple mementoes," writes tipster Peggy Ann Brown of Alexandria. "First-day cover albums, used
to protect those special envelopes, are perfect for keeping postcards
together and, in the process, elevating these lowly souvenirs to favored
status. Albums, available at stamp collector stores, hold 100 postcards in
clear slip covers. My 10-year-old daughter is well into her third album,
while my 5-year-old son has begun his second."
We're sending Brown an 'I'm a Great Tipper!' T-shirt as thanks for sharing her clever idea. Got a tip of your own to share? Stamp the fine print below.
