6 Fun And Amusing Gifts Any Stationery Nerd Will Love
There is no shame in having a well-organized selection of stationery. We all need it, it keeps the world moving. Good stationery is the easiest way to trick people into thinking you’re a respectable adult who’s got their life together and goes hiking every Sunday. Nobody ever questions a person with a clipboard and colored sticky notes, they’ve got places to be. Here’s a list of 6 amusing gifts that any stationary nerd will love. There’s no shame in wrapping them up and gifting them to yourself either.
Quill pen
The number one must-have for any writer that takes themselves seriously. So maybe you’ve never written a book or a poem or anything at all really, as long as you have your trusty quill pen it doesn’t matter. You, my friend, are a professional. Quill pens are great for doing fancy calligraphy writing or for swishing in people’s face when they’re being annoying.
Get your friend a single pen or splash out on a whole set. The larger the feather, the better. If they’ve never owned one before you could also add on a ‘How to’ book, so they can learn how to calligraphy like a pro.
