Review of the items to come, but for now just want to share the absolutely beautiful packaging by https://www.lacouronneducomte.nl/
I have purchased from them before, and each time the box has felt like a Christmas gift. Each item, no matter how small is comes wrapped in wrapping paper or other festive packaging. Even the lamy nibs!

You didn’t get any MB Shakespeare from LCDC? Btw, my boxes came in the same green wrapping paper! Let me know if you want to trade some samples.

No sadly I didn’t, I forgot to include a lot of things I wanted in that order lol, but there’s always the next one…. I think I am close to getting the free shipping with the items in my cart :). I am one of those people who will spend whatever but cringe over paying $15 for shipping lol.
On the subject of samples, I am in the process of getting some vials, once I do, it’s on!!!!! π

Oh, that’s a given. I mean, why spend more on shipping when you’re just going to buy that stuff EVENTUALLY, right? *innocent whistle*

You’re right! Have you seen their Christmas specials? There’s a certain Pelikan that I am struggling not to buy lol.

Do NOT start with me! I have been transfixed by your m805 Stresemann!
I think that is one of the most beautiful Pelikans I’ve ever seen. That said, I already decided on THE pen gift to myself this year! π

Heh omg do tell! Which is THE pen? I’m totally intrigued. I’m hoping that I have also found THE ONE, or of course the one plus two or three π

With a STUB nib, of course! (the silver is much nicer than the gold, IMHO)

Hey, I feel like I am ahead given I almost pulled the trigger on a less than cheap Nakaya. OMG, I was so close too. This pen SAVED ME MONEY! lol π

Heh omg I was in the same boat!!!! I had a Nakaya in my cart on Black Friday but ended up not. I plan on ordering a custom one, but they told me the wait is around a year for completion. I suppose that’s fine, but I think I will need to buy one to hold me over in the meantime….
