The Perfect Time Of Year For Engraving At Vanness Pens (Sponsor)

Are you having trouble finding the perfect gift for that special someone on your list? Look no further than custom engraving from Vanness Pens.

Not only do they do great work on pens, like Lamy, Pilot, and even Retro 51, but they can engrave on everything from metal, glass, leather, wood, stone, acrylic, and even some papers.

I’ve seen their work in person, and the results are crisp and clean, even on paper goods. I was stunned that this was possible!

If you are looking for a cool and affordable surprise for your pen friends, an Engraved Ink Bottle will put a smile on any ink fans face. You can even pick from a large supply of unique bottles from Pilot, Pelikan, Noodler’s, and more.

Vanness Pens is also giving away the Pen Addict engraved Retro 51 you see above to one lucky reader. How cool is that! Just leave a comment below and tell me what you would get engraved from Vanness Pens and I'll pick a winner on Friday.

The Pokka Pen Is Born (Sponsor)

We are all tinkerers at heart, hacking and modifying pens to suit our needs. Terry O’Connor got tired of losing his space pen and started making pen runts by cutting Bic ballpoints in half. That’s when the idea hit him - why don’t I make my own pen, and make it great?

Enter the Pokka Pen.

These precision injection molded pens are small and light enough to carry in your pocket or bag and go unnoticed, but when uncapped they turn into a full sized writing instrument. The unique Double Dokk system ensures the cap fits securely when open or closed.

The Pokka Pen comes in several different colors, including a series of premium Kustom Koated pens, and can be accessorized with the upcoming Keyring Kaps which allow you to attach your Pokka Pen to key rings, zippers, or lanyards. Best of all? They cost less than $9 for a 3-pack with free shipping on orders of 10 pens or more. Talk about the perfect stocking stuffer.

As a bonus for Pen Addict readers, any order of 5 or more Pokka Pens will receive a free Pen Addict logo Pokka.
