THIS year's colourful Christmas stamps have been unveiled - and for the first time ever, they will come in different shapes and sizes.
Both the first and second-class stamps, which will go on sale from Tuesday, November 7, will come in two sizes to reflect the new letter and large letter rates that were introduced in the summer.
Father Christmas appears on both sized first-class stamps while a cheerful snowman wearing a top hat and red and white scarf smiles appears on the second- class variety. The £1.19 stamp shows a Christmas tree surrounded by presents while a reindeer appears on the 72p stamp.
