Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Hershey collaboration special?

The With Love and Kisses NFT edition (February 14, 2025) is a brand collaboration between USPS and the Hershey Company — a US chocolate manufacturer whose HERSHEY'S KISSES product was introduced in 1907 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The original With Love and Kisses stamp was introduced on January 13, 2007 for the 100th anniversary of KISSES — designed by Derry Noyes (USPS art director). 18 years later, in 2025, USPS digitized this stamp as NFT. The NFT edition combines brand cross-marketing with a major US consumer goods manufacturer, the resurrection of an 18-year-old stamp in the NFT space, and seasonal Valentine's Day marketing. This mixture is unique in the crypto stamp space — other issuers typically don't do brand collaborations with private consumer goods conglomerates.
