It’s Not Too Late To Give A Gift That Makes Memories This Holiday Season, Featuring Ellington Pens
With the holidays around the corner, if you need a last-minute gift for a stationery lover, then look no further than Ellington Pens. With their huge range of writing tools, inks, accessories and notebooks, you can get something for anyone! Whether this is a treat for yourself or a gift for someone else, you can get luxury products at very affordable prices, which is perfect right now. Orders must be placed by 19th December for arrival before Christmas!
Calligrapher?
Looking to get into calligraphy or know someone who enjoys it? The Calligraphy sets come with seven different nibs and ink to get you started! I am a sucker for the Midnight Rose Marrakesh Calligraphy Set, which features rose gold coloured nibs and looks so classy. However, I also really like the all-silver Silver Sonata or the all-black Stealth set. But if none of those take your fancy, check out their site as they do have five different calligraphy sets available.
You could also pair this with an additional fountain pen, as the nibs are compatible with many of their other pens.
These calligraphy sets are available at 20% off, using the discount code AUMSOME.
Journaller?
Every journaller needs a writing tool, and with the huge range available at Ellington Pens, you’re bound to find something. From mechanical pencils to rollerball pens. From ballpoint pens to fountain pens. If you are getting a fountain pen, check out The Writer’s Bundle. You can get one of their fountain pens (from a small selection, but it includes several of my favourites), ink, a notebook and a pen case at a discounted rate. The bundles don’t work with the discount code as they are already discounted, but if you are purchasing all four items anyway, they do give you a bigger discount on them!
However, if you’re after a pen and journal only, then you can get a gift set with either one or two pens. They are perfect for you – and work with the discount code!
Artist?
A mechanical pencil does not need to be sharpened and is great for drawing or sketching on the go! These also look incredibly sleek, stylish and professional – perfect for those wanting to take them into university or work. Some artists also love doodling with a ballpoint pen, and Ellington Pens does have a huge range of those, too! I just love the idea of a mechanical pencil since I hate it when my nib breaks and I cannot sharpen it, as I did not bring anything with me.
There is a huge range of them, with my personal favourites being the Midnight Rose or the Alpine Rose as I really am a sucker for the rose gold details!
Timeless, Classic Designs for Everyone
The Stealth and the Radiant Shine Collection are two of my favourites. They are both timeless, perfect for luxury in a professional setting or just to keep for years. The Stealth is all black – including the nib – which is stunning. It would make a great gift for my husband, to be honest, as he is a big fan of black. The Radiant Shine Series comes in gold, silver and rose gold, which is also stunning and works for everyone. I, personally, love the rose gold (which is called Roselight Veil) and the Silver Sonata, but I think my dad would be a fan of The Elysian Gold.They come in gorgeous journal sets, and a calligraphy set as well!

Launch Giveaway #4 – Fountain Pen Friday
Launch Giveaway #4 status: Closed.
For the final giveaway for National Stationery Week, I thought it would be perfect to tie it in with Fountain Pen Friday. I absolutely love fountain pens. There’s something satisfying about writing with a fountain pen and ink. I’m pretty sure it makes my handwriting a lot nicer than other pens too. However, not everyone is a fountain pen user. So for Fountain Pen Friday, I wanted to do a giveaway that was open to everyone but also tied in with the pens I love. As a result, I’ve chosen to add the “J Herbin Rollerball pen” to the bundle. This pen has a rollerball nib but uses fountain pen ink. It’s a great combination, allowing you to experience the variety of colours and fun of writing in ink whilst using a nib that most people are familiar with. Be sure to check out the other two giveaways running over here.

National Stationery Week – Fountain Pen Friday ft. LAMY & Bureau Direct
Today is Fountain Pen Friday – a day dedicated to bringing back (or out) the fountain pen, of course. I absolutely love fountain pens, inks and in particular bottled inks. I’ve been told I’m weird for this love of mine – often as people don’t expect someone my age to love stationery or fountain pens that much that I opt to write letters rather than send texts… Nonetheless, I stand by my “weirdness” and honour it fully by saying that I still love my fountain pens, no matter what anyone says. My range is rather small but it’s certainly growing as I treat myself to a new ink or pen every so often. I’ve recently done an order that was full of new pens for me to try out and had to include a new fountain pen or two, of course! I’ll be doing a proper review in time of the inks I have, as well as all of the new pens. However, today I wanted to do a quick post talking about my initial thoughts of the brand new Special Edition LAMY Safari Dark Lilac fountain pen.The LAMY Safari fountain pens are a very popular choice of pens – I have commonly seen that they are one of the first fountain pens people try. They are great for beginners and are incredibly affordable, so I’m not surprised at all. Personally, I was never convinced I had to have one… until I saw this. It’s beautiful. It instantly won my heart. Not only is it a gorgeous colour (I do love a bit of purple – or rather, dark lilac – in my life), it is also beautifully detailed. I absolutely love that the nib is black – perfectly matching the clip as well as the section on the inside (which is dark lilac but has a black ring on display).
More often than not, you find that at least one of the parts of the pen is a different colour but that’s not the case here today. It’s a perfect combination of dark lilac and black. I’ve fallen head over heels in love with this colour and just had to get my hands on it. The pen has a shimmery matte effect too, which is hard to capture in photos but really looks beautiful in person.
I never thought I would say this but I think LAMY are really starting to win my heart with this one! I might have to try out their pink fountain pen and the lime green that attracted me to finding out a bit more about the company too now – perhaps I’ve been missing out all of this time! I’ll have to do a proper review once I get some new inks to test this beauty with and actually get to play with it a little more!
But for now, if you’re after this pen then I got mine from Bureau Direct – and they do matching inks too! In fact, I regret not getting a set of the dark lilac cartridges to play with when I was ordering this… I think I’ll have to revisit them soon and rectify that mistake! I have commonly ordered fountain pens or inks from Bureau Direct so it actually seems quite fitting for me to mention them on a day dedicated to Fountain Pens! But be careful, if you check out their blog (which I do highly recommend doing), you might end like me and just want to buy everything! You’ve been warned, it’s seriously full of beautiful goodies at a really good price.
