Looking for a way to support the United States Postal Service? Consider buying some delightful USPS merch.

As the U.S. Postal Service fights to survive the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic and active efforts from President Trump's administration to cut their funding to prevent mail-in ballots, they need all the help they can get.

Some impactful steps you can take, such as contacting your congressional representatives or protesting, require a bit more effort. But if you're looking for a quick, easy way to lend support to the agency, do a little online shopping.

The online USPS store sells a variety of stamps, shipping supplies, cards and envelopes, collector's items, and other business supplies that you can purchase to help fund the USPS. But the store also has a gift section that features 133 pieces of USPS merchandise that you can rep to show your support.

The gift shop includes everything from official stamp dispensers and bags, to fun stuff like apparel, pet supplies, and toys. It's worth browsing the entire online store to see what's right for you, but if you're looking for a peek at the goods, here are 12 of our favorite items for sale.

The kid's costume, which sells for $24.95, comes with USPS shirt, pants, hat, and a cute little mail bag. And the hilarious USPS mail carrier dog costume ($17.99) even features a package.
