Welcome, pen pals! I hope you haven’t clicked around for too long before finding this amazing resource for all your holiday shopping needs.
I’ll keep it short so you can shop and get back to your merry activities.
We know how much of a time-wasting struggle it is to shop online, bouncing from website to website, getting the same old suggestions that you’ve already given in years’ past. In this epic pen gift guide, you’ll find novel gift ideas for that creative, thoughtful person on your list.
First, here’s an easy way to check off your list quickly: Shop our “Best Sellers” collection and look for highly-rated pens in your price range. If you’re looking for something unique you won’t find anywhere else, shop our store exclusives, including all the collectible, limited edition collaboration designs. Have a favorite color? Shop Pens by Color to find the hue that's right for you. Want a great deal? Browse our Clearance Pens page for deals up to 70% off the retail price.
Keep in mind: you're not shopping for just any ordinary pen.
You're searching for an intelligent tool that makes a personal statement.
With a seemingly endless variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and design themes, the market for fine writing pens has never been so diverse. Which, if you're someone who has a hard time making a decision beause there are too many options, might be an overwhelming amount of choices.
To help narrow things down, here are some questions to ask about the person whom you are gifting this pen:
Now that you've given some thought about your gift recipient's preferences, you can put together a picture of their perfect pen. For example, if your friend likes the color blue, wears a beat-up pair of Chucks most days, writes with pocket pens for general note-taking, and goes once a year to an island beach resort, then the Kaweco Sport Sea Spray fountain pen would be a nice fit.
Place your gift orders early as possible to avoid any possible shipping delays, which are common this time of year. Use the following shipping methods up until the deadline to ensure timely delivery.
US Domestic Shipping (including AK, HI, PR)
December 12 - Economy Shipping
December 16 - Standard Shipping
December 19 - Express Shipping
International Orders - due to inconsistent international delivery times and customs delays, Goldspot cannot guarantee delivery prior to December 25th on any international orders.
Our writing tools, regardless if it’s a fountain pen, ballpoint, or pencil, are meant to fit the creative individual’s hand and become an extension of our minds, encouraging a free flow of thoughts and ideas to paper.
Personalizing a writing instrument elevates the gift’s sentimental feeling to a whole new level. Our in-house engraving department ensures your pens will be personalized beautifully and shipped quickly (usually within 1-2 days of placing an order).
One of the questions we get often is, "Does this pen come in a box?" When you're spending $50, $100, or $500 & up for a writing instrument, you bet it comes in a presentable box!
Of course, the more expensive the pen, the more elaborate the packaging.
Make your pen gift an unboxing experience the recipient will never forget by adding our gift wrap service - $4.50 charge for each item.
With all the pen colors, styles, sizes, and themes, you’re destined to find a fine writing instrument that speaks to your soul and motivates you to do your best work.
Although you’ll never need a software update, batteries, or a charging cable to use a pen (well, there are some that do) your writing setup is complete with ink, notebooks, and carrying cases.
For the pen enthusiast who thinks they have it all, there’s always something new that can be learned and added to your repertoire and your workspace. This video shares some of the most useful accessories you never knew you needed.
You don’t have to spend a mortgage payment to purchase a quality pen that lasts decades, if not a lifetime. In each of these posts, we break down our best gift ideas by price so you can stay inky and within your budget.

The art of handwriting, particularly the use and maintenance of fountain pens, is not common knowledge. So, we dedicated thousands of hours to build a FREE online resource of articles and videos meant to educate. A little "how-to" goes a long way toward enjoying writing at a higher level than originally thought possible.
For fountain pen-related information, visit Fountain Pen University. For all other writing modes, you can check out the Fine Pen Academy.
