I was torn between this and another brand's self-inking stamp, and I'm so glad I went with this one. The name stamps come in pretty much every size and layout you'd need, plus an ink pad, correction fluid, a cute little box, and even waterproof name labels, which were a lifesaver. Honestly, I almost teared up opening the box. It stamped great on fabric too, and even the tiny icon details came out crisp. Thank you!
