Gift ideas from The Pen Company

Christmas is coming, and while the goose is busy getting fat, the rest of us are stressing about what to buy our loved ones for gifts this year. Perhaps you have a stationery lover to buy for, somebody who likes to be organised, an artist, or maybe you need some ideas for what to ask Santa for yourself. Whatever ideas you are searching for, we have compiled this list of TPC favourites, with something to suit every budget. Don’t forget: the majority of our products come with free UK delivery if you spend over £10, we ship worldwide, and we are offering free engraving on lots of products this year too!

A Paperblanks diary, journal or address book

The Paperblanks range of journals, diaries and address books are eye-catchingly beautiful. From French textile design to traditional embroidery from India’s Gujurat region, every single Paperblanks piece celebrates human artistic creation from around the world. Whether it’s a 2017 diary or a journal, the gift of a Paperblanks will be welcomed by anyone on your list – including Mum, Dad, siblings, Grandparents, and friends.

Prices vary, and most come with free first class UK delivery.

The Fisher Space bullet ballpoint pen

The Fisher Space pen is the most versatile pen ever made. Originally designed for use by astronauts, it can write anywhere, on anything, and even at extreme temperatures, all thanks to it’s unique pressurised cartridge. The Fisher Space bullet ballpoint pen is the most compact version, which is the range’s bestseller, and it’s not hard to see why. Available in an array of beautiful colours, this pen would be a welcome gift for anyone, but would be of particular interest to those who love gadgets, those who need to label things, such as gardeners, or those who need to make notes on the go, such as geocachers. Small enough to fit easily in a pocket or handbag, it extends to a decent size for writing when you mount the cap. Whoever you buy this pen for, I can guarantee that they’ll spend half of Christmas Day testing it out – writing upside down, at funny angles, underwater, outside, indoors, on plastic… there’s so much fun to be had! Great news on the refills too: they last three times as long as a standard ballpoint pen refill.

Prices from £19.95, with free first class delivery within the UK.

The Lamy Safari fountain pen

The Lamy Safari is both a wonderful everyday fountain pen and also an ideal starter fountain pen, due to its simplicity and ergonomic design.

Introduce a sibling to the joy of fountain pens, or add to a friend’s pen collection: a perfect gift for the young or old.
