New Starter Kits Now Available
A few months ago, we put together our first starter kits with our most-recommended products for a first fountain pen. As we detailed in a previous blog post, these packs are a great gift for anyone in your life that you want to penable.
Just in time for Fountain Pen Day 2020, we’ve expanded our starter bundles to include three more options! Whether you’re looking for the best first fountain pen or a ballpen to take with you everywhere you go, we hope that you enjoy these new varieties.
What combination of items would you recommend for someone who is just starting to get into quality writing materials? Let us know in the comments!
Lamy Fountain Pen Starter Kit
If you are looking for your first fountain pen, you’ve likely heard a lot about the Lamy Safari! Our latest Lamy fountain pen starter kit highlights this beginner friendly option and sets you up with everything you need to write, right out of the box. You can choose any colour and nib size of Safari that you like, and the pen also comes with a blue cartridge and a converter.
The pen is paired with a 50ml bottle of Lamy Blue-Black, which will last you over 50 full fills! Finally, to make your writing experience even more enjoyable, the pack also includes a Leuchtturm1917 A5 notebook of your choice, so you can go for any colour or page type that you like. Leuchtturm’s ink-friendly paper will be a great compliment for your new fountain pen!
Study Buddy Writing Kit
The perfect pack for a student budget, the new Study Buddy kit is great for any exam or essay situation. This kit includes a Laika notebook and a Parker Original Pastel Jotter in the colours of your choice. The Laika notebooks are thin and light, making them great for a backpack or laptop bag, and the Parker Jotter is a classic option with a great writing experience.
The pack also includes an Appointed pencil, as well as a matching Appointed Gum Eraser. These are great for mathematicians and artists alike — and they are even usable for Scantron tests! Finally, the pack also includes a Pilot G-Tec C3 pen in the colour of your choice. The C3 has an ultra-thin 0.3mm tip size, but it still glides over paper due to its smooth ink. This makes it great for writing in small spaces and writing quickly!
Eco Warrior Writing Kit
The Eco Warrior kit combines two of the most environmentally friendly options in the store: a Dingbats notebook and a Caran D’Ache Nespresso ballpoint pen, both in the colours of your choice! We’ve detailed both of these products in the past, but it is worth reiterating that both of these brands are completely committed to sustainability: Dingbats is the only certified vegan notebook in the world, and features rainforest alliance paper and a completely biodegradable cover. The Nespresso pens are made of recycled Nespresso pods and come in a single, folded sheet of post-consumer recycled packaging.
