My local stamp store is looking to add a few new companies to their shelves.
So I am looking for suggestions of companies you like
They currently sell:
-Hero Arts
-Lawn Fawn
-My Favorite Things
-Stampendous
-Taylored Expressions
-Newton's Nook
-Tim Holtz stuff (stamps, dies, inks, stencils...basically all his stuff)
-Memory Box dies
-Spellbinders dies
I second Impression Obsession - they have a huge, beautiful variety of stamps (in wood, cling, and clear), as well as dies. (I may be a little biased, but I loved their stamp line lonnnnng before I became one of their artists!)
Whimsy Stamps is another favorite too, for colorists!
Yes on Altenew and WPlus9. Penny Black has nice florals also and they aren’t quite as expensive as Altenew. Some of the Altenew sets are large and more pricey. Nice to round it out and have a good selection of florals. These three companies offer a lot of those. I know Penny Black is not strictly online but not sure about the other two.
I second the vote for Sunny Studio Stamps. They are just adorable!!!! I also LOVE the stamp sets Technique Tuesday has put over the past year. They are witty, funny, and full of puns. Completely different than the line of stamps they used to sell!

I am trying to think what I want to buy when I go to my LSS....
Power Poppy for florals. Art Impressions!
I like The Ton too but my LSS says they wont give them the kind of wholesale numbers that would allow them to ever put them on sale and they are expensive. In retail this matters when you want to clear inventory.
Another vote for Impression Obsession and Lavinia-Lavinia has the best solid fairies to me
I always like unique things so another vote for Concord and 9th for their turn about stamps and products.
Tutti designs has pretty dies
Winnie and Walter-I like their staggered word dies
Your Next stamp and Gerda Steiner has some cute things
Kindred Stamps-they do a lot of popular topics like Harry Potter, Game of thrones, etc.
Riley and co-great for funny sentiments
Technique Junkies and Unity both are nice for uplifting

Adding more as I think of them:
Sunny Studio
Ditto. Really fast, extremely nice customer service too. And I'm not affiliated with them. : ) (But I have taken in-person classes from one of their designers, who worked part-time for an LSS that sadly went out of business.)
I should add that I agree about Impression Obsession. Not everything is my style, and I prefer clear stamps, but I love their cover a card backgrounds.
And 100 Proof Press -- also rubber, but their stamps are so cool and quirky.

Haven't read all the replies, but I would recommend Honeybee Stamps, Pink & Main, Sunny Studio, Memory Box/PoppyStamps.
