Special effects rubber stamp

A rubber stamp is disclosed which produces a special effect when the stamp is pressed against a medium to be imprinted therewith. The special effects generated by the stamp can include audible (sound and/or music), light (patterns and/or sequences), and/or aromas. A cavity in the wood block of the rubber stamp contains the electronic circuitry necessary to provide the special effects messages. A sensor is affixed within the wood block, such as a pressure sensitive switch between the block and the rubber stamp, so as to trigger the electronic cicuitry to issue the special effects message simultaneously with the imprinting of a visual image from the rubber stamp upon the desired medium.
