Sp Aluminum Pen and Notebook (Sponsor)

Many of us have a favorite pen or little black notebook, but what if those two came in one well designed package? Bfofo’s Sp Pen and Notebook features a beautiful laser etched and anodized pen machined from solid aluminum that features a magnetic cap, the capacity to accept a broad selection of refills, and secures to their own version of the pocket notebook, or about any 5.5” notebook. The pen also comes with optional clips that let it work as a shirt friendly pocket pen. All five different different barrel finishes ship with both clip options, so there is no need to mix and match when ordering.

The hardcover notebook was modeled on the traditional 5.5” Moleskine and Leuchtturm pocket notebooks, with a few improvements. The binding was designed to lay flat - an important feature in a notebook this size - and the thinner, corded bookmark is designed to stay out of the way while remaining useful. The numbered pages feature a dot grid pattern, with a Table of Contents in the front, and a storage pocket in the back.

With backers levels starting at $18 USD, the Sp Pen and Notebook has pledge levels to meet all of your writing needs. The project just launched on Kickstarter today so head over and check it out.

What is the first thought that comes into your head when you hear the phrase “promotional pens?” Yeah, me too.

The promotional pen game has changed, and Cheap Pens is at the forefront of putting great pens in the hands of your customers and fans.

Making Light Artisan Candles (Sponsor)

Doing your best work is important, and finding that ritual and laser focus required to get things done is key. Making Light makes it easier to do work that matters with their wonderfully fragrant, hand-poured candles.

Dan, the proprietor of Making Light, has sent me samples of his candles in the past, and I can honestly say they are the best candles I have ever used. The scents are perfectly balanced, strong enough to notice, but not overpowering enough to take you away from the task at hand. The use of something real and tangible like a candle from Making Light engages your senses in a way that digital tools do not.

Making Light offers several options to get you started, ranging from a one month gift to a 12 month subscription. Each month you will receive two 100% botanical soy wax candles, a sample of the following month's scent, and a box of matches to fire up your daily ritual. Readers of The Pen Addict can also get $5 off their next order by using the code "POSTCARDS" at checkout.

Try out a candle from Making Light and see how it can change your daily routine for the better.
