For many, getting respite from the daily demands of life doesn’t always mean going on wild adventures on weekends in far-flung places. It could be as simple as meeting with friends to enjoy shared hobbies, finding their next favorite cafe, or simply going people watching in the park. If you’re looking for fun, free things to do around the metro, consider stamp collecting. Not only are these stamps a cute addition to your journal, but they’re usually custom-made, making them even more special. Here’s a list of where to find free stamps around the metro:

For stationery junkies, Scribe is that one-stop shop where you’ll find cult-favorite brands such as Rhodia, Traveler’s Company, Midori, and different fountain pens and inks. It’s just too impossible to come empty-handed! Aside from getting your dose of cute stationery, don’t forget to drop by their stamp station, which usually has a branch-specific design, among the other usual stamps they have in the store. Scribe also releases postcard stamps on certain holidays such as Christmas and New Year, so make sure you follow them on social media for updates.
Branches:
- SM Aura
- SM Megamall
- Eastwood Mall
- Studio by Scribe, Quezon City

Bookworms, did you know that a number of Fully Booked branches around the metro and the Philippines have custom stamps you can collect? The local bookstore even had a contest last year, where they gave out prizes to the customer who completed all the stamps for the Ink Trail. They collaborated with Common Room PH for these stamps, and they’re just too adorable!
You’ll find the custom stamps at the counter, where you can also ask for a special stamping card. It’s also good to bring your notebook, just in case they run out of cards. To get a stamp, simply go to the cashier/counter.
