Stop right now – Royal Mail has unveiled a limited-edition range of commemorative stamps to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Spice Girls. The first time the postal service has dedicated an entire collection to a female pop group, the stamps relive some of the brand’s most memorable moments, from the 1997 Brit Awards performance (and that Union Jack dress) to the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.

As well as individual stamps of Posh Spice, Baby Spice, Scary Spice, Sporty Spice and Ginger Spice, the new issue includes framed memorabilia, stamp books, sheets and limited-edition collectables for devotees of the group.

Formed in 1994, the girl group was catapulted to global pop star fame, thanks to hits such as “Wannabe”, “Stop” and “Who Do You Think You Are”. The Spice Girls’ message of female empowerment was embraced by women across the world, with the group selling more than 100 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling girl group of all time – and the most successful British pop act since the Beatles.

This is only the sixth time a music group has been given its own special issue of stamps, with Royal Mail gifting us with the stamps we never knew we needed. Wannabe the coolest one at the post office? Here’s how to spice up your stamp collection.
