Kaweco Ice Sport Red Transparent Ballpoint Pen I went pen shopping with my daughter and she fell in love with the Kaweco Sport pens. She is 5 and this series of pens are just her size.

The stainless steel nib is fused with 18K gold making for a...

It’s not quite over yet, but as far as I’m concerned 2012 has been an extremely eventful year. On the positive, the Queen had her Diamond Jubilee, China launched its first female astronaut into space, the 2012 Summer Olympics were held in London, Curiosity landed on Mars, and chances are good no kind of apocalyptic event will happen on the 21st of December. In addition to this notable, one-of-a-kind achievements, I believe it should also be noted that 2012 has been a particularly good years for the world of stationery and its subsequent accessories. The pens, pencils, inks and writing...
