Mystery Dip - Fountain Pen and Ink Surprise Box - October 2025

No need to dress up and go door-to-door, Goldspot brings the writing treats home with the Mystery Dip Surprise pen and ink box. October's box might make you shriek with delight with all the fine pen goodies packed inside.

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 October's mystery box, you can expect:

• A fountain pen fitted with a stainless steel nib that fills by cartridge or converter (both included)
• A full 50ml bottle of fountain pen ink.
• Assorted pen colors and nib sizes will be randomly picked at the time of shipping.
• Instead of the Goldspot box, we are including an extra item that you'll find useful for your writing needs.
• No substitutions or specific requests.

To keep the contents of this Mystery Box a spoiler-free surprise, we will unveil the contents on Wednesday, October 29th, 2025. 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:

"I wasn't sure what to expect this time, but wow, this was a pleasant surprise. A very popular pen brand, not my first color choice, but that doesn't matter.  It was the nib that was something I did not have! The ink choices were top notch and beautiful colors.  Paper is always handy and other writing tools will be interesting to try as well.  Well done Goldspot!"

-Karin Webster

"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.
