In a short time, it's time to celebrate all the fathers, whether it's grandpa, the proud new dad, the bonus dad, or your own dad.
Of course, you might find it difficult to come up with a suitable gift when you have already given him chocolates, flowers, and one or two ties already. Lucky for you that Pen Store exists! Many of the pens we sell can be engraved. We do the engraving ourselves, which does not affect the delivery times, so even if you are out shopping for your dad at the last minute you can still get the pen delivered on time. If the option engraving can be added when putting a pen in the shopping basket, you can choose an engraving for your gift. Most engraved pens also come in a gift box. All pens that are available with engraving can be found in the category Pens with engraving.
If you have run out of ideas on what to give your dad for Father's Day, there is no need to feel stressed, because below you will find our best tips! What kind of person is your dad? We have something for most people so feel free to check out our assortment.
For the traditional dad
Our range includes fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and rollerball pens. Check out the classic and recognizable Parker brand, a well-known pencil maker for over a century. One of our best sellers, Parker IM, has a stylish look that attracts people who are looking for a nice gift for someone who is dear to them. The IM series is now also available in a new, even more luxurious version: IM Premium. Another classic, Jotter, is a familiar brand to many pen lovers. The model has the typical Parker clip and shape.
Lamy 2000 is a favourite here at the Pen Store, and one of its advantages is that it's available in so many different variants, for instance as a fountain pen, ballpoint pen, pencil, rollerball pen, and multi-pen. A wide range to choose from in other words, and easy to adapt to price range. 2000 has a stripped-down design suitable to the grand mass.
For the nature-loving dad
Here is a true bestseller! The Fisher Space Pen, selling ballpoint pens with pressurized cartridges. To make a long story short, the pressurized cartridge was invented in the '60s for the possibility to use pens in space. It has been said that it has been used on all American spaceflights since 1968. Maybe something for your dad to tell his friends the next time he uses this space pen. The clever thing about these pens is that you can write with them on most surfaces, in all weathers and temperatures, and even upside down. Maybe the classic Astronaut AG7 or the Bullet model could be something for your dad?
If your dad likes to be out in nature, we recommend that you look into Field Notes. This is an American brand that makes notebooks in pocket format - perfect to bring with you either in your back pocket or during the hiking tour leaving it safely in your backpack. The cover and paper are durable, but above all the books are very aesthetically appealing.
Another thing that is easy to carry in your pocket or backpack is the ballpoint pen, Pico, from Lamy. The smart design allows the pen to be folded up in a shorter version when you click on the tip, but folds out and becomes long when you click the tip forward.
For the stylish dad
If your father likes clean lines and smart design, we have several recommendations for pens. The model Studio from Lamy and the classic 849 from Caran d’Ache are both high-quality pens that will last a long time. In addition, you can find really nice pencils whose design never runs out of style and thus a gift that will be appreciated for many years to come. Curidas from Platinum is a newcomer to the range and has quickly risen to the list of our coolest products. It is a fountain pen with an unusual mechanism - the tip can be clicked forward just like on a regular fountain pen. The pen is also semi-transparent, which means you can see how the mechanism works in reality when you click the tip.
For the smart dad
At the Pen Store, we sell erasable ink pens that are perfect for crossword puzzles and sudoku. If your dad is into these things, we can warmly recommend the hugely popular series Frixion, available in several different variants and which can also be refilled when the ink runs out. The original pens are called Clicker and Ball, but there is also a slightly more elegant version, Frixion LX, which comes in a black tin box.
The aspiring author dad
Many novels, non-fiction, essays, short stories, and poems started as small insignificant notes on a piece of paper. If your dad likes to write there are lots of nice notebooks to choose from. Some of our best-selling notebooks are from the Leuchtturm1917 range, such as the Notebook A5 Medium or the Notebook A4 Master Classic. The paper in Leuchtturm's books is also extra suitable for fountain pens: the glossy paper that won't bleed through and handles liquid ink in the best possible way. The notebooks, such as Goalbook or Webnotebook from Rhodia, also have high-quality paper.
If the father you want to spoil with a gift is more into digital things, we can warmly recommend Digital Pen from Lamy. It is compatible with all devices that use EMR technology and is ideal for writing and taking notes on a tablet or mobile phone.
