Breaking with tradition, the U.S. Postal Service has approved stamps bearing the likeness of a living person: you.

Stamps.com today announces a service that allows people to design their own postage — from kids to cats to corporate logos — on their computers.

"It makes mailing a little more exciting," says Stamps.com CEO Ken McBride.

The company, which is based in Santa Monica, Calif., received exclusive permission from USPS to test their product, dubbed PhotoStamps.

A sheet of 20 self-adhesive, 37-cent PhotoStamps costs $16.99, more than twice the $7.40 cost of a sheet of traditional First Class stamps. (There's also a $2.99-per-order shipping and handling charge.) The personalized stamps also are available in other denominations, including 23-cent postcard (20 for $13.99) and $3.85 1-pound Priority Mail (20 for $89.99).
