I always buy some spares and can never find them when the time comes to use said stamps. vicious circle

I was gifted some picture stamps ("Classic Album Covers" and "The Olympic & Paralympic games, The Journey to 2012" over a decade ago that are still in a drawer. Should use them really.
I used to be a panel member for the Royal Mail postal survey. Send and receive letters (some of which have electronic trackers inside). Get paid in loads of stamps and entry into prize draws for modest amounts.

the problem with buying stamps, along with all the other things I buy "just in case", is that after they've been hanging around for some time they acquire sentimental value, and then I'm slightly reluctant to stick them on a package.
if I'm at a PO counter I always ask if they have any picture stamps in, supply for regular day-to-day use seems to be very sporadic now and people often seem bemused that I ask for them.
