Personalized Hanko

After we talked about this in class I went and searched around in google and found this website:
http://www.jun-gifts.com/personalizedgifts/hanko/hanko1/hanko1.htm

Jun gifts is a website that has a large variety of gifts from Japan such as Daruma Dolls, everything related to sushi, and more...
But Anyways, as I said, they have personalized Hanko. You can personalize your Hanko with the characters for your name, and you can also design it (the material, the font, the ink, and the case in which it comes).
The price is not that bad. for non- costumized Hanko the price ranges from $8.98-$9.99 (they have a variety of pre-made popular words and names, and my name Ray happened to be on the list :) and the costumized ones are going to be a little more on the expensive side, but still cheaper than other websites I found (the next cheapest I found was about $75 O_o).
The only catch is that the products are shipped from Japan, so the shipping and handling fee is $16.

Hope this is helpful,
Ray
