Spice up your life with some stamps! The U.K.’s Royal Mail will issue 15 Spice Girls-themed stamps later this month as a small way of celebrating the iconic girl group's 30th anniversary.
The mail service’s collection includes stamp sets, posters, postcards, and collectables, with each piece available on January 11. The top prize is the “Spice Girls Gold Stamps Set,” presented as a limited-edition (1,000 sets) featuring the issue’s stamps layered in 24-carat gold, and priced at £149.99 ($190).

The campaign, which celebrates the “U.K.’s biggest-ever girl group,” marks the first time the Royal Mail has dedicated an entire stamp issue to a female pop group. The 10 main stamps include images from the Brit Awards in 1997, featuring Ginger Spice in her iconic Union Jack dress, and their performance at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games. An additional five stamps are available on a miniature sheet, featuring shots from the photoshoot for the 1998 feature film, Spice World.
While the stamps will all be available January 11, Royal Mail is taking pre-orders. You can buy Spice Girls stamps here.
The Spice Girls last reunited in 2022 to celebrate Geri’s 50th birthday, an event that doubled as the 25th anniversary of their sophomore album Spiceworld, released back in 1997. There’s no talk, however, of Baby (Emma Bunton), Posh (Victoria Beckham), Ginger (Geri Halliwell-Horner), Sporty (Melanie Chisholm), and Scary Spice (Melanie Brown) hitting the studio or the road anytime soon.
Previously, the Royal Mail has issued stamps celebrating the careers of The Beatles (2007), Pink Floyd (2016), Queen (2020), Paul McCartney (2021), The Rolling Stones (2022), and Iron Maiden (2023).
