The traditional take on the holiday we call Thanksgiving is that it was a small time of peace and sharing when somehow the the conflict between early settlers and the indigenous population came to a lull and for one day they stopped killing each other and instead sat down to a big meal, where everyone ate together and were happy to be sharing good times, at least for a little while.

Historical accounts say that during the autumn of 1621, at least 90 Wampanoag tribe joined 52 English people at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, to mark a successful harvest. It is remembered today as the “First Thanksgiving,” although no one back then used that term.

Since war and conflict are still alive in the world today, there is also tanks giving.

President Joe Biden recently announced that the United States will provide Ukraine with 31 M1 Abrams tanks. That is the required number to equip an entire Ukraine tank battalion.

These tanks are needed, Biden said, because Ukrainian forces are working to defend the territory they hold and will be better prepared for additional counter-offenses.  

Certainly congress did not automatically rubber stamp this move, and also certainly, we can and do provide Kitchen Of Rubber Stamps to help you fight the war on boring recipes by marking your own special concoctions for the holidays or everyday scrumptious dining!

In Terminator movies the robots get smart and attempt to take over the world by causing nuclear war. In Hollywood the script writers are gifted people with wild imaginations who can make stories like that work. In the real world robots do simple tasks over and over so people don’t have to, and robots never get carpel tunnel syndrome or need workers compensation.

Now, robots and artificial intelligence as it’s called, can be programed to drive automobiles, and heading into the Callahan with a passenger or two they epitomize carpool tunnel syndrome, but they react to things skilled drivers wouldn’t react to, and sometimes it seems like the smarter devices get, the dumber they become, like phones or computers that autocorrect your typing and turn words like hellbent into helpful because they thought that’s what you meant.

Of course there is a huge difference between automated and automatic, the latter being the old school and brainless things, like automatic transmissions that don’t think at all and are simply designed to move your car from second to third, fourth, and so on as you speed up, and ingeniously perform these procedures flawlessly without you needing to apply a clutch or manipulate a gearshift lever.

Automatic weapons place the next round in the chamber without needing a rotating barrel, and in fact, the word automatic has been in the culture for a long time meaning perfectly, and without question repeating, like the best field goal kicker in the league who comes out and effortlessly sails the ball end over end through the uprights while the refs shoot both their arms into the air and the home team scores another three points.

In this vein we offer a full line of automatic numbering machines that do mindless and flawless repetition and make changes, like the transmission on a car, over and over in a very predictable manner so you can do the stamping work you need to without being second guessed by some device programmed to be smarter than you, but which is instead far from it, to the point of being a nuisance.

With our automatic numbering machines every option available offers superior quality for long-lasting performance capable of thousands of impressions. Every impression is clean, clear and easy to read. Our Xstamper® automatic numbering machines feature six to 12 metal wheels/seven actions (repeat, consecutive duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate, six times and twelve times), drop ciphers, precision movements and lustrous chrome finish. A stylus is included for indexing. Pads should be re-inked with automatic numbering machine ink only.

Our inventory features several choices for adding a high-quality automatic numbering stamp to your tools. Every option available offers superior quality for long-lasting performance capable of thousands of impressions. Every impression is clean, clear and easy to read. LION heavy-duty automatic numbering machines include a wide range of choices from the 5-wheel model to the 13-wheel model. Various specifications are available for your specific individual need. LION numbering machines are precision crafted of one-piece hardened steel frame. All metal interior construction will provide years of reliable use. This self-inking numbering machine is ideal for sequential numbering operations to use as a date and number stamp, serial number stamp and inspection stamp.

So if you want reliability, dependability, durability and perfectly mindless repetition, program your brain to visit our website where you’ll find every choice you’ll need in automatic numbering machines.

Before Black Friday came to mean a retail sales extravaganza advertised weeks in advance and signifying great deals on everything from cars to pajamas, including discount prices on rubber stamps, it was initially a term used to describe something that happened where lots of people lost money, rather than saving it, and almost no one recalls, that along the same lines, there was also actually in more recent history a Black Monday, that was also about losing money, lots of money, not saving a few bucks.

The first recorded use of the term “Black Friday” was applied not to post-Thanksgiving holiday shopping but to a financial crisis: specifically, the crash of the U.S. gold market on September 24, 1869. Two notoriously ruthless Wall Street financiers, Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, worked together to buy up as much as they could of the nation’s gold, hoping to drive the price sky-high and sell it for astonishing profits. On that Friday in September, the conspiracy finally unraveled, sending the stock market into free-fall and bankrupting everyone from Wall Street barons to farmers.

Monday, Oct. 19, 1987, is remembered as Black Monday. On that day, global stock exchanges plunged, led by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average in the U.S. The strain sent world markets tumbling and for a panic-driven period of time people were again, not worried about saving money, but instead about losing their butts.

With all that behind us, hopefully, the more recent Black Friday designation came about as a happy day when retailers enjoyed a positive, and often dramatic, uptick in sales activity. As the story goes, after an entire year of operating at a loss “in the red” stores would supposedly earn a profit “went into the black” on the day after Thanksgiving, because holiday shoppers blew so much money on discounted merchandise.

In an ironic way Black Friday has morphed from chaos on Wall Street into chaos at retail outlets nationwide, where getting in on prices that have been slashed has led to war zone tactics where shoppers, if they can be called that, resort to guerilla tactics and where life and limb seem secondary to getting 70% off on a big screen TV.

In that regard we are happy to announce that you won’t have to risk getting nailed upside the head with a spinning back fist in order to save money on over 3000 custom and stock rubber stamp products, because our special Black Friday rubber stamp prices are offered in the relative calm of online shopping at our famous website, RubberStampChamp.com!

The U.S. Postal Service has no official motto but “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds,” are words not only thought of as their theme, they are actually written in stone in New York.

They are engraved on the front of the James A. Farley Post Office in NYC, the phrase having been taken from an ancient book by the Greek historian Herodotus and refers to messengers in the Persian Empire.

The popular belief that Herodotus’s description of the Persian postal service is about the U.S. Postal Service is a tribute to the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have delivered the mail reliably and dependably, through all conditions, for centuries.

The Fourth Of July, Memorial Day and Veterans Day are all very special holidays because they offer a chance for us to regain some national pride. Of course the Forth is really more about the signing of the Declaration of Independence than it is about fireworks, just like Christmas is more about the birth of Jesus than it is about bringing trees into our homes and decorating them.

Francis Scott Key had a question in the song he wrote after the British Fleet shelled Fort McHenry with all they had, but by the dawn’s early light it became obvious that our flag had not gone down, giving him the thought to pen this question, that we have to ask ourselves today..“Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave, over the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

The answer, of course, lies in the hands of all the citizens of this country, and it is simply that it will continue to wave as long as we fight to be free. And if you support freedom, it might make you feel good to order one of our religious or patriotic rubber stamps, it will allow you to express yourself clearly, and thousands of times, before needing re inking, after which you will be able to stamp the message of your choice thousands of times more!

For many, Halloween is the cat’s meow, and they always have that carved out as a special holiday.

In the old days we went out on our own dressed as Dracula, Superman, donkeys, angels and King Kong or Godzilla, carrying bags with handles and hoping for anything made of chocolate and no apples, please. We screamed “Trick or Treat” at every door, but never really intended to play tricks nor did we have any up our sleeves. In today’s world, which in and of itself is often scary, the kids are accompanied by adults and dressed as Ninja Turtles or other more contemporary heroes.

The complete list of national holidays is absurdly long and contains many that most never heard of, and of course if you decided to celebrate them all, celebrating would be pretty much all you’d ever do.

Here are just a fraction of those from January alone: National Polar Bear Plunge Day, National Hangover Day, National Science Fiction Day, National Festival of Sleep Day, National Trivia Day, National Spaghetti Day, National Bird Day, National Whipped Cream Day and National Cuddle Up Day…and it kind of makes sense that if you enjoy a day of spaghetti, followed closely by one of whipped cream, cuddling up thereafter would be a perfect thing to do.

We offer plenty of festive stock rubber stamp choices to honor the more prominent holidays, and can help you out with things like gift giving with special Santa signature stamps, and other nice choices for Easter, Memorial Day and so on.

However if things like National Ugly Sweater Day, National Espresso Day, National Princess Day, National Vodka Day, World Kissing Day or National UFO Day appeal to you, you can also hop on our site and upload art or text or both to stamps of your own creation, for holidays not represented in our stock message stamp selection.

And whether you’d like a large format wood mounted hand stamp for that purpose, a self inking stamp from one of the major manufacturers of those, a pre inked stamp or a special stamp loaded with quick dry permanent ink for stamping your seasonal message on a wide variety of surfaces, we’ll make one for you, or ten or twenty or more, we’ll make them perfect and we’ll get them to you fast.

And since today, September 26th is officially National Rubber Stamp Day, we hope you’ll join us for it and for a custom rubber stamp we know you’ll love!

Pink has become a very popular color and we’ve even seen it on the shoes of folks who play in the NFL.

Of course pink has been deeply embedded in the culture in so many ways it’s probably impossible to list them all, as even right off the top you realize our smallest finger is called a pinky, and there was a Pinky Tuscadero in a TV show a few decades back called Happy Days.

Speaking of happy days, people who are having a good one are often said to be in the pink, and a group called simply The Band, produced an album in a pink house entitled Music From Big Pink.

All in all, our main concern is that you might want pink rubber stamps, so we’ve provided a huge selection for you to shop and choose from, but before we flesh that out a bit more, here are a couple other pink things you may find interesting, starting with some lyrics from Bruce Spingsteen.

“They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
But man I ain’t going for that
I know it was her pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what it feels like in the back
Of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac.”

Bruce was not short on boldness as he even sought to re-write one of the core issues from the bible. We do not know, however, if he was bold enough to date a rep from the Mary Kay Company who strive for success selling cosmetics and can wind up driving, you guessed it, a pink Cadillac.

Speaking of success, and still on a musical note, everyone knows the name and face but not many realize the astonishing list of hits and accomplishments put out by the woman known simply as Pink.

To date she has released nine studio albums, one live album, five video albums, six compilation albums, 57 singles, six promotional singles, and 51 music videos. Throughout her career, Pink has sold 60 million albums, 75 million singles and 2.4 million DVDs worldwide. She has sold 18 million albums and 13.5 million digital singles. She is also UK’s second best-selling female artist of the 21st century.

In various spiritual practices, pink is believed to represent love, compassion, and inner peace. It is believed to have a soothing effect on the mind and can help individuals connect with their emotions and inner selves. Pink is also said to have a healing energy, promoting harmony and balance in one’s life.

The pink lotus flower is perhaps one of the most celebrated flowers that there is. It is considered sacred, and it is associated within the highest realms of Buddhism, with the Buddha himself, many kings, and the highest deity often depicted with this plant.

Pink diamonds are extremely rare and coveted A mine in Australia has been the source of 90% of the colored gemstones. Polished pink specimens of the highest grade can sell for tens of millions of dollars!

But if you wish to celebrate pink at a fraction of that cost, we come full circle to pink rubber stamps, which can help you in your pursuit of pink in a nice variety on our website at Rubber Stamp Champ.

One example is this custom self-inking stamp featuring a clear base which allows for precise alignment over the printing surface, while its durable frame is designed to make stamping smoother. It will last for about 5,000 thousand impressions and can easily be re-inked with water-based ink…and as you will note in the color chart, pink ink can make your pink custom rubber stamp statement complete.

So if we now have you thinking pink, just visit us and design a pink rubber stamp for yourself, and have fun with it, 5000 times or more, all you have to do is click now on our pink link!

One of the most frequently asked questions we get at Rubber Stamp Champ is can I put my logo on a rubber stamp? It may surprise you to know that we have over 200 ways to answer that question and they all start with “Yes, we can!”

Before enumerating and expanding on some of those answers, let’s do the logo itself, as an entity, some justice. The origins of the logo can be dated back to the Ancient Egyptians. They originally used hieroglyphics to brand and identify their possessions, until in medieval times when graphic imagery such as coats of arms were used to distinguish between the different nobility titles.

The good old Ancient Egyptians are also given credit for starting the practice of putting logos on animals, as they initiated the practice of branding livestock with fire-heated marks to identify ownership, a practice carried on among the ancient Romans, where the symbols used for brands were sometimes chosen as part of a magic spell aimed at protecting animals from harm. Whether that was effective or not we do not know.

We do, however, know for certain that in today’s world there are practically as many logos as there are companies, and while some have been around for decades and even centuries, new ones spring up virtually every day as almost no one starts a new venture without giving it a logo that will identify it for potential customers in the marketplace, because where thousands and even millions of others exist, a distinguishing factor is required.

Having said all this, your interest here is, of course, wanting not to know if you can put your logo on a cave wall, a shield, or a cow, but instead on a rubber stamp, and yes we have over 200 answers to that question because our logo stamps come in all shapes and sizes, as self inking stamps, pre inked stamps, wood mounted hand stamps, and permanent ink stamps for placing your logo with a rubber stamp impression on a wide variety of non porous surfaces like leather, glass, plastic and metal.

In this regard we politely suggest you take a look at our Hall of Fame, hot linked here for your convenience!

Here you will find a plethora of rubber craft and art stamping ideas as executed by our erstwhile customers and submitted for your consideration as you delve deeper into your rubber stamping ideas and custom stamp resource files. And speaking of livestock, as we did a moment ago, here is one referring to such, that actually is a logo having nothing at all to do with animals..except perhaps party animals!

And another, if you take a page from perhaps the G.O.A.T. in the pugilistic world, Muhammad Ali who sought to “Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!”

For years, we have dedicated ourselves to providing the highest quality custom made rubber stamps so that you can always get the perfect tool to imprint your logo quickly and effortlessly. Our collection of options has grown to include dozens of types of stamps, giving you the freedom to choose the perfect model for your needs. Browse through our extensive lineup of different models and find a stamp that will help make your life easier by giving you a way to disseminate your logo in a snappy and effective manner.

So spread the word, and your symbol, and stamp your way to recognition, fame, fortune and all sorts of other good things with a logo stamp that we’ll create at no extra charge when you effortlessly upload your artwork onto our online system.

Go logo, not loco, go Rubber Stamp Champ!

At Rubber Stamp Champ we offer a wide variety of pink rubber stamps for you to choose from, to help support breast cancer awareness, and we also offer this history and background on the subject, in part from the National Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, held in October every year, aims to promote screening and prevention of the disease, which affects one in eight women in the United States every year and 2.3 million women worldwide. Known best for its pink theme color, the month features a number of campaigns and programs — conducted by groups ranging from breast cancer advocacy organizations to local community organizations to major retailers — aimed at: supporting people diagnosed with breast cancer, including metastatic breast cancer educating people about breast cancer risk factors stressing the importance of regular screening, starting at age 40 or an age that’s appropriate for your personal breast cancer risk fundraising for breast cancer research.

Awareness was elevated In 1989, when Mrs Lauder of the Estee Lauder Companies was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and chose to channel her experience into action. A model of resolve, she took it upon herself in 1989 to help establish a state-of the-art breast and diagnostic center at New York’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where she was a board member.  The facility, known today as the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center, set a new global standard for cancer care offering the most up-to-date prevention, diagnosis and treatment services under one roof.

In that same year, Mrs. Lauder created the signature pink ribbon with Alexandra Penney, then editor of SELF and launched the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign within The Estée Lauder Companies. The program distributed the ribbons, along with self-exam instruction cards, at Estée Lauder counters across the United States and around the world, helping to raise awareness about the importance of breast health and effectively placing breast cancer at the public forefront.

Since then, Evelyn Lauder’s life’s mission has become ours: to rid the world of breast cancer. Today, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation stands as a testament to her fierce dedication, keen intuition and extraordinary vision.

Here then is just one example of how we help you think pink, year ’round, with this excellent self-inking signature stamp! Don’t write it, stamp it! When you’re faced with large volumes of documents that require your signature you can save the time with this convenient and easy to use self-inking Trodat stamp! This stamp features a pink body in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. The impression size of this stamp is 7/8″ x 2-3/8″ and it is available in 11 stunning ink colors…including pink!

Raise awareness and your ability to manage documents when you visit Rubber Stamp Champ now!

People talk about the fabric of our lives, and the fabric of society and so on, but let us not forget that fabric is a literal thing as well as a figurative one.

Textiles are defined as the yarns that are woven or knitted to make fabrics. The use of textiles links the myriad cultures of the world and defines the way they clothe themselves, adorn their surroundings and go about their lives. Textiles have been an integral part of human daily life for thousands of years, with the first use of textiles, most likely felt, dates back to the late Stone Age, roughly 100,000 years ago.

However, the earliest instances of cotton, silk and linen begininng to appear around 5,000 BC in India, Egypt and China. The ancient methods of manufacturing textiles, namely plain weave, satin weave and twill, have changed very little over the centuries. Modern manufacturing speed and capacity, however, have increased the rate of production to levels unthinkable even 200 years ago.

Our spin on this old yarn is provided by fabric ink kits that can be used in many imaginative ways to create permanent patterns, to mark fabric with company logos, and to provide identification on things that range from stamping on kids clothing for camp to marking ID numbers on uniforms in commercial laundries.

This is our Pro Color #532 Sure Print Indelible Fabric Ink Kit.

This professional fabric marking ink provides permanent, acid free fast drying impressions on most fabrics. Water and fade resistant. For best results, wait 24 hours before washing. Ink usually lasts 20-25 washings. Each kit contains a 2oz. bottle of ink, a 2oz. bottle of re-conditioner, and your choice of an IP-2: 2-5/8″ x 4-1/4″ Industrial or an IP-5: 6-1/4″ x 8-1/8″ dry ink pad. This kit is available in 4 ink colors: black, red, blue & white ink. Dry time: 30 seconds.

So mark our words, if you wish to stamp on fabric, we’ve got you covered!
