Déjà vu? The three “Special events” designs were issued in 2024. Because they were so well received, they are now giving an encore – with different colours.

The stamps in the set are designed for emotional messages: “Congratulations” as a greeting for a special occasion, such as a wedding, birth or birthday. The “Thanks” design can be used to express gratitude – for example as a thank-you for a gift or an appreciation of support at a difficult time. The “Comfort” design with the butterfly flying away lends itself to offering sympathy or lines that give strength. As in 2024, hands are at the center of all the designs: they offer comfort, present a gift or raise a glass together. Because the designs were so popular, Swiss Post is issuing them a for second time in 2025. But this time something is different: the stamps are now in new colour versions. Would you have noticed the difference?
