The Postal Service issued the Lili’uokalani Gardens Priority Mail stamp and the Gateway Arch Priority Mail Express stamp Jan. 22.

The $6.65 Lili’uokalani Gardens stamp honors the landmark site in Hilo, HI. The stamp features one of the gardens’ most iconic structures — a red wooden shelter on a stone bridge spanning a portion of the pond.

USPS is releasing the stamp to coincide with the gardens’ 100th anniversary.

The $23.75 Gateway Arch Priority Mail Express stamp depicts St. Louis’s famed stainless-steel arch as the sun sets on the banks of the Mississippi River. Towering above the city skyline, the Gateway Arch is reflected in the rippling water below, where a barge passes by.

Both stamps are offered in panes of four.

The stamps are available at Post Offices and usps.com. The Postal Bulletin’s Jan. 19 issue has more information.
