How to choose a pen as a gift?

The pen is one of the most popular gift options with 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 the gift does not look trite and boring.

At first glance, a pen presented as a gift may seem like a rather primitive and ordinary solution. For a souvenir not to 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 some features that distinguish it from similar accessories. So, you can emphasize the uniqueness of this souvenir with the help of certain inscriptions, symbols, patterns. These can be branded (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. Usually, such drawings and inscriptions are applied to the body of the product using engraving.

Respectability for such a souvenir in most cases ensures the popularity of the manufacturer. The leader in the market for these accessories is the well-known Parker brand. Despite the fact that this manufacturer has quite budget options in its assortment, you should not buy a pen as a gift, the cost of which is less than 1,500 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 the beautiful pens with an unusual design. Fountain pens, which are usually used not so much for writing as for emphasizing the special status of the owner, look very exquisite. The feather of such an accessory can be steel or even gold.

A pen intended for donation must be of high quality. This also applies to the durability 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 it.

This souvenir is most often presented to colleagues, managers, business partners, doctors, teachers, writers, representatives of creative professions. And 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 donate 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 present a truly high-quality accessory that deserves attention, you should consider pens that have a manufacturer's warranty. Major brands (in particular, the aforementioned Parker company) provide similar guarantees on 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 necessarily accompany their products with branded cases with durable latches or locks.

The country of origin should not be ignored either. As you know, many people respect the European states to a greater extent than the countries of Asia. If the person to whom such a gift is intended is distinguished by scrupulousness 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 body are significantly inferior to products whose body is made of metal. It is known that plastic is considered the most fragile material, it breaks easily, and can crack with strong pressure. Pens with metal bodies last much longer, and their appearance does not change over 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 their more tangible weight compared to plastic products.

A rather interesting and non-trivial gift idea can be a handle with a wooden body. It is best to give such souvenirs to young people - schoolchildren or students.

Connoisseurs of non-standard solutions will appreciate the multifunctional pen, equipped, for example, with a thermometer or barometer. Another great gift idea is a comfortable 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, this basic gift can be supplemented with items such as:

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

People who value good literature can present an interesting book 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.
