Mystery Dip - Fountain Pen and Ink Surprise Box - January 2026

Renew your pen-thusiasm for writing with an exciting surprise delivered to your doorstep. The Mystery Dip Pen and Ink box is ready to help you accomplish all your most ambitious goals for 2026.

While we want to keep the box contents a secret so it doesn't ruin the surprise, we did want to set some expectations so you can trust that you'll get your money's worth (and more!). 

In January's mystery box, you can expect:

• A fountain pen fitted with a 14kt gold nib that fills by cartridge or converter (both included)
• A full bottle of fountain pen ink...and then some.
• Assorted pen colors and nib sizes will be randomly picked at the time of shipping.
• Instead of a Goldspot box, we packaged this Mystery Dip in "packaging" you can repurpose.
• No substitutions or specific requests.

To keep the contents of this Mystery Box a spoiler-free surprise, we will unveil the contents on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026. Please know we are 100% committed to your satisfaction. If you do not love the contents of our mystery dip, you may return the entire set within 30 days of purchase for a refund or exchange. 

Here's what our pen pals had to say about previous Mystery Dip boxes:

"Bought this month's Mystery Dip as a birthday gift for myself and I in aww of what I got! Fantastic is all I can say without giving it away, you wont be disappointed."

-William Phelps

"Really have no idea what to expect this month and am pleasantly surprised. Love the pen (in red) and 1.5mm nib. Never heard of the brand before which is unusual at this point in my pen collection. Good value. Get it."

-Sherry Yang

"This Mystery Dip was insane! IDK how much I can divulge, but usually with these type of product, you're lucky if you break even. This dip was a steal and a deal! I'm so happy I got one before they sold out. Great job to whoever was in charge of curating this dip."

-Alicia R.

"I can always count on getting a box filled with a lovely fountain pen, ink and a total surprise trinket. I totally love this pen. The box was worth so much more than what I paid. I can’t wait for the next one. Goldspot never disappoints. Thank you!!"

-Reena T.

"I love a mystery box and Goldspot doesn’t disappoint.  I always get more than expected. The only time I’m unhappy is when I don’t get the chance to order because they sell out so fast."

Alice M.

"Fantastic selection! I’d been looking at this pen so was very pleased with it, and the “journaling accessory” is beautiful and will be put to good use.   Another great offer Goldspot!"

-Mark R.

"Another banger of a pen that I didn't even know that I wanted. For the money this was another great surprise. I don't want to ruin anyone's surprise, but the pen itself should have been more than the whole kit and kaboodle! Thank you!" 

- Brad S.

"Delightfully surprised - items I wouldn't have bought on my own - that's why I like the Mystery Dip - guaranteed value over the price." 

- Trey D.

"Once again, the mystery dip has proven itself worth the money. Even more so because the pen that arrived was on my list of "to get." The ink samples seemed to be chosen for their color matching to the pen body, and I could not be happier with their choices! Another win for the mystery dip!!" 

- Robert G.

"There is really no risk with Goldspot's Mystery Dip Surprise Box. It always is built around a pen you probably have already considered purchasing, with some great ink samples that are fun to try and offer new possibilities for your writing and fountain penmanship." 

- Thomas L.

"I was very pleased with my mystery box. I've only sprung for one other mystery box (from a competitor) and I wasn't happy with that one so I was hesitant to order another. This one was a winner, however."

- Robert A.

"Honestly, I expected to be disappointed since the selection is random. But this is a gorgeous pen. It has the weight I prefer, and the color is vibrant. I couldn’t be happier!" 

- Ann L.
