Gil Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I want to gift each of The Boys a small collection of quality writing and drawing instruments (and a nice storage case). I want the pens to last for several years, so I'm looking for well-made and that means I'm probably looking for pens that you refill vs dispose of. I'm thinking of getting them each a nice art kit that will last several years. They do a lot of writing and drawing so I think that they would appreciate having nice writing and drawing tools to use.

2Peanuts Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I like the site jetpens.com. They have blog posts that compare different pens - fountain pens, gel, roller ball, etc. I’m sure they can at least get you started on finding a decent set. Have fun with the search! I’ve enjoyed learning about all the nuances of pens & ink! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 So there is a lot more variety in pens than I thought, but Jetpens.com is fantastic because they sale samplers. Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 My daughter loves these pens. I'm so glad that I looked in this thread and went to the website! Dd has this set, but it doesn't have a purple pen. I was able to order a whole sampler pack of just purple pens! Her birthday is coming up, and I know she will be excited. https://www.amazon.com/Staedtler-Triplus-Fineliner-Porous-334/dp/B0007OEDYI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1550750833&sr=8-7&keywords=pens+staedtler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. My dad collected fountain pens and I remember having to go with him to *pen* shows! Talk about variety! Who knew there were pen enthusiasts? But there you have it.... I am amazed at all the little details about writing instruments — but it’s really cool when you can tell the difference! Some pens really are nicer to write with! Have fun with the research and the samplers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
