How to choose a pen as a gift?

A pen is one of the most popular gift options that carries a neutral, business or friendly message. This accessory is often presented to people who are treated with respect and respect. Consider what to consider when presenting a pen as a gift so that this gift does not look banal and boring.

At first glance, the pen presented as a gift may seem like a rather primitive and ordinary decision. So that the souvenir does not make such an impression, it must meet the following criteria, such as:

• individuality;
• respectability;
• originality;
• high quality.

The individuality of such a gift may lie in certain features that distinguish it from similar accessories. So, it is possible to emphasize the uniqueness of this souvenir with the help of certain inscriptions, symbols, patterns. It can be branded fountain pens with the name of the recipient of the gift, with the image of his zodiac sign or initials, with a parting wish. Typically, such drawings and inscriptions are applied to the body of the product using engraving.

Respectability to such a souvenir in most cases ensures the fame of the manufacturer. The leader in the market of these accessories is the well-known Parker brand. Despite the fact that this manufacturer has quite budget options in the assortment, you should not buy a pen as a gift, the cost of which is below 1500 rubles.

The originality of souvenir pens usually depends on their design.When planning to present the hero of the occasion, indeed, an original gift, you should pay attention to beautiful pens with an unusual design. Fountain pens look very elegant, which are usually used not so much for writing as for emphasizing the special status of the holder. The feather of such an accessory can be steel or even gold.

A gift pen must be of high quality. This also applies to the strength of this accessory, and how well it performs its main function. For this reason, it is important to check in advance how well such a product writes, how convenient and pleasant it is to use.

This souvenir is most often presented to colleagues, managers, business partners, doctors, teachers, writers, and representatives of creative professions. Also, original and unusual pens are often presented as a gift to distant relatives and new interesting acquaintances.

As part of a business relationship, it is not recommended to give pens with your company logo to business partners. It is customary to exchange such souvenir accessories only as a sign of respect for each other.

To choose and give a truly high-quality accessory that deserves attention, you should consider pens that have manufacturer's guarantees. Large brands (in particular, the mentioned company Parker) provide similar guarantees for their products. Typically, product warranty periods are at least two years.

But you should also pay attention to the packaging of the product. Reputable brands without fail accompany their products with branded cases with durable latches or locks.

Do not ignore the country of origin. As you know, many people are more respected by European states than Asian countries. If the person to whom such a gift is intended is scrupulous in this matter, it is better to give preference to pens made in the UK, Germany, Italy or France.

Even very cool ballpoint pens with a plastic case significantly lose to products whose body is made of metal. It is known that plastic is considered the most short-lived material, it breaks easily, and with strong pressure it can crack. Handles with metal cases last much longer, and their appearance does not change with time. They do not fade, do not lose their presentability. In addition, such a handle is very difficult to break or damage. Their only, but insignificant drawback is the more tangible weight compared to plastic products.

A rather interesting and non-trivial gift idea can be a pen with a wooden case. Such souvenirs are best given to young people - schoolchildren or students.

Lovers of custom solutions will appreciate the multi-function pen, equipped with, for example, a thermometer or barometer. Another good gift idea is a convenient and practical pen equipped with a pedometer. Such a gift will certainly appeal to people who are fond of sports and prefer a healthy lifestyle.

If it seems to the donor that the pen purchased as a gift does not look very impressive, it can always be supplemented with auxiliary accessories. For example, in addition to this basic gift, you can purchase items such as:

• stand for organizer;
• calculator;
• diary
• the calendar;
• notebook.

To people who appreciate good literature, you can present an interesting book complete with a pen. And, for example, those who are fond of esotericism will appreciate the collection of horoscopes for every day.

At the final stage, you should choose the original packaging or a stylish gift bag.
