Hey Heather!
I bought some ink stamp pad refill stuff (there are drops) from Office Depot. It seems to work ok for me. Usually when I first do it, it's a little dark and kind of runs, but I just stamp it a bunch until some of the excess wears away.
It's kind of a pain to fill, but it beats buying a whole new one.

Thanks, Heather!!
Kate - To refill that stamp, on the side with the little red slide button thingy, there is a very faint picture on unlocking it. Then on the "back" (the side opposite the "Ideal200" logo - at least on mine), there's a little indentation you can put your finger in and pull out kind of like a drawer. I have to pull it kind of forcefully. I've kind of been afraid I'll break it, but so far I haven't. I pull that out, put the drops of ink all over the pad and push it back in again. Then you can lock it back up with the red slider button. I have no idea if that helps because it's hard to explain! Good luck!
