Valerie needs to put stamps on the envelopes she is about to mail. She has thank you cards for each of her grandmother, uncle and aunt for the birthday presents they sent. She also has to pay the water bill and the electric bill separately. She wants to send three more mail-in rebates than she does bills and she has twice as many job applications as rebates to mail. How many stamps does she need if everything needs 1 stamp except the electric bill, which needs 2? Let's think step by step and output the final answer after "####".

Valerie has to send a thank you card to each of 3 people, so she has 3 * 1 = <<3*1=3>>3 thank you cards to mail.
She has 2 bills to mail.
She has 3 more rebates than bills, so 3 + 2 = <<3+2=5>>5 mail-in rebates to mail.
She has twice as many job applications as rebates, so she has 2 * 5 = <<2*5=10>>10 applications to mail.
She has 3 + 2 + 5 + 10 = <<3+2+5+10=20>>20 pieces of mail to send.
The electric bill needs an extra stamp, so she needs 20 + 1 = <<20+1=21>>21 stamps.
