Single $4.20 Stocking/Gumboot stamp.
Presented here as a playful alternative to the traditional Christmas stocking, gumboots are strongly associated with farming and were made iconic in Aotearoa New Zealand by comedian John Clarke (aka Fred Dagg) and his song Gumboots. You might spot a pair of ornamental gumboots on a Kiwi Christmas tree.
