Tomorrow is Inkvent, so you can guess what I’ll be doing today! We have a couple of Inkvent Calendars remaining from our allocation, so if you’d like to play along this December, now’s the time! Other colorful gift items include the new Caran d’Ache Keith Haring series, the Caran d’Ache “Colormat-X” set of new matte-textured 849 ballpoints, and the “Kaweco Collection” Kaweco Sport fountain pens! Finally, we recently received a restock of Write Notepads items, including the popular writing pads and the Classic Hardcover Notebooks.
Update: As of this evening, we received our shipment of Kaweco Art Sport Fountain Pens, in four unique Italian resins!
Just a reminder that in order to ensure domestic U.S. delivery by December 25, it’s important to get your orders in within the next two weeks. For Holiday gift ideas, check out the 2023 edition of the T.G.S. Holiday Gift Guide! Also remember that we offer a gift card option.

Diamine Inkvent Calendar. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be opening doors 1-25 of the 2023 Inkvent Calendar, and swatching a 12ml sample of ink up until December 25 (where we open the 30ml bottle). Want to play along? Pick up an Inkvent Calendar. It will probably have you set on ink for the year.
Caran d’Ache Keith Haring 849 Ballpoint Pens. These collaborations with the estate of pop artist Keith Haring (whose artwork was featured on the “Very Special Christmas” album covers back in the late 1980s, early 1990s) would make an awesome gift for art fans, as well as for those who just enjoy a cool design on the 849. While the black pen is my favorite, the red is probably more classically Haring?
Caran d’Ache Keith Haring Colour Set. This set of 10 special edition water-soluble colored pencils also comes with a Fibralo brush pen. The pencils are engraved with Keith Haring’s signature. Pair this with the Colour Pad for a great gift idea!
Caran d’Ache Keith Haring Colour Pad. This A5 pad features 20 different Keith Haring drawings that you can color in to add your own twist on the original artwork.
Write Notepads Classic Hardcover Notebooks. A hardcover journal makes an excellent gift for pretty much anyone interested in reading and writing. These Write Notepads look great on a shelf once finished, and come in either lined or dot grid paper. Blue, grey, and cranberry (dark red) color options available.
Camel HB Pencils in Natural Wood Lacquer. Camel Pencil from Japan makes some of my favorite woodcase pencils on the market. The HB graphite is dark and smooth for an HB core, and these sharpen extremely well.
Caran d’Ache x Nespresso Edition No. 4 Swiss Wood Pencil Set. We still have a handful of these Caran d’Ache x Nespresso pencil sets from last year, as well as the standard Swiss Wood Pencil Set that includes a sharpener and eraser.
M+R Brass Pencil Sharpeners. Camel pencils serve as an excellent platform for the M+R brass sharpeners, including the long point Castor & Pollux sharpeners.
Lamy Pico Pocket Ballpoint Pens. The Pico is up there as one of my favorite all-around pocket ballpoint pens, and we have a fresh shipment ready to go. I’ve given these as stocking stuffers for years and people have enjoyed them - even “non-pen” people.
Laban Greek Mythology Ink Series. This is a bit of a random addition, but if you’re looking for a gift for a fountain pen person and don’t feel comfortable with a pen, this epic ink series based on 10 different ancient Greek gods and goddesses
