Labor Day Giveaway, Courtesy of Rickshaw Bagworks and Nock Co.!

Brad was kind enough to send me home from the San Francisco Pen Show with an extra Nock Co. Sinclair “Model R”, in classic black cordura with bright yellow interior. While the case customizer isn’t quite ready over at Rickshaw Bagworks, you can still choose from some of Brad’s favorite color combinations, and comment below on the blog to get this one for free!

I’m keeping the rules for this giveaway simple, with no widgets, third-party apps, etc. You can leave a comment on this blog post, and/or visit the T.G.S. Instagram and like the post there. I’ll number comments and likes and then pick a winner using a random number generator. The giveaway will remain open until 11:59pm Central U.S. time on Sunday, September 11, 2022. While the giveaway is open to everyone (provided it’s possible for me to ship to you), I may request that you chip in for international shipping if it ends up being prohibitively expensive. Also, if you comment anonymously or don’t allow Instagram DMs, I may not be able to contact you to tell you that you won.

Finally, remember that all orders placed in the T.G.S. Curated Shop through today will receive a freebie, such as some washi tape, an ink sample, a pen or pencil, etc. All orders over $75 ship free!

This giveaway is not a paid promotion. Nock Co. and Rickshaw donated this case for promotional purposes, and T.G.S. is not being compensated in any way by either company for running it.

Housekeeping Updates: Vacation Time!

Just a couple of housekeeping updates for the coming week (6/11/22-6/18/22):

• Curated Shop Order Shipments: I will be on vacation next week, so any orders placed starting tomorrow (Saturday) morning will ship out when I return. Thanks for your support and understanding, and I always include extras (stickers, notecards, ink samples, washi tapes, etc.) to orders placed during a travel period.

• Our Current Giveaway Ends Sunday! Things have been getting buried on Instagram, and I know lots of people are on vacation, etc., so I wanted to make one last push to let people know that this giveaway is still live! Win a T.G.S. Sunderland Prototype, a Penwell Traveller, or a Musgrave Pencil Assortment! Hit the link for details.

Memorial Day Weekend Giveaway: Courtesy of the Well-Appointed Desk and Skylab Letterpress!

As it turns out, I have a lot more stuff in storage that I will never be able to work my way through, so let’s do another giveaway! The plan will be to continue these periodically (maybe weekly or every other week). This week’s giveaway is a product sampler from my friends at The Well-Appointed Desk and Skylab Letterpress, who have been kind enough to send me many samples of their excellent work over the years. Included in the giveaway will be Well-Appointed Desk Col-o-ring ink testing notebooks, including a “Dipper” and one oversized notebook, as well as some Skylab Letterpress notepads. In addition to what’s pictured here, I may throw in some additional product samples as I sort through my backlog. This giveaway will run through Memorial Day Weekend, and end at 11:59pm Monday, May 30, 2022 US Central Time.

As per the usual, enter via the Gleam widget below. While I need participants to provide an e-mail address so that I can contact the winners, I don’t compile e-mail addresses into a marketing list. That said, Gleam is a third-party, so please see the app below for their privacy policy and the full terms and conditions. This giveaway is open to anyone, though if you’re international (i.e., non-US), your ability to receive the prize may be limited by shipping regulations and cost. If shipping is prohibitively expensive I will give you the opportunity to cover some or all of the cost if you still wish to claim the prize. Many thanks!

First of all, I wanted to offer a huge thanks to everyone who has supported The Gentleman Stationer over the past eight years, whether here on the blog, on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other various social media sites where we maintain a presence!

This giveaway features three prizes: (1) a T.G.S. x Sunderland mk1 rollerball; (2) a Schon DSGN “Pocket Six” fountain pen in the “Fall Feelings” finish, with your choice of steel No. 6 nib, graciously contributed by Ian; and (3) a T.G.S. Swag Pack of buttons, stickers, and probably a few other small items. Enter using the Gleam widget below. The Giveaway will run until 11:59pm U.S. Central Time on Sunday, May 22, 2022. Once it closes, I will draw three winners, one for each prize, in the prior order. While this Giveaway is open worldwide, please note that your ability to receive the prize depends on shipping regulations and the cost of shipping, which you may be asked to cover.

Many thanks for all your support!

Fountain Pen Day Weekend Giveaway! And Don't Miss the Ongoing Sale!

I always like to make Fountain Pen Day a weekend thing, and that’s why today T.G.S. is hosting a giveaway! We have some great prizes as a thank you to all the loyal readers out there, and to let you know how much we appreciate your support. To participate in the giveaway, simply use the Gleam widget below, which also sets forth the full terms and conditions. The TLDR version is that once the giveaway closes Monday night, I will pick three winners, one for each prize. I will reach out to you sometime next week to let you know you won and to give you your shipping information. The prizes for this year’s Fountain Pen Day Giveaway are:

1. T.G.S. x. Sunderland Machine Works Special Edition mk1 Rollerball. Yep, I set aside one pen as a special Fountain Pen Day giveaway prize. The T.G.S. x Sunderland mk1 is my first pen collaboration with a manufacturer, and it’s a staple in the T.G.S. Curated Shop. For additional information on specifications, etc., check out the shop listing.

2. Fountain Pen Day Leather Notebook Cover. Win a piece of original Fountain Pen Day Swag, purchased at the D.C. Pen Show many, many years ago. I don’t use pocket notebooks all that much, so I figured I should pay this one forward! Fits three standard Field Notes Sized pocket notebooks, using Traveler’s Notebook-style cords.

3. Scrikss Fountain Pen in Indigo. Galen Leather was kind enough to send me this Scrikss piston-fill fountain Pen, which features a pale blue finish with gold trim and a nice medium nib. Scrikss is a Turkish fountain pen manufacturer that is relatively hard to find here in the U.S.

Also, don’t forget that we are running a promotional sale in the T.G.S. Curated Shop through the weekend, so until 11:59pm Sunday night (November 7), you can grab 10% off all Curated Shop orders using the coupon code “FPD10”! (Excluding TWSBI and Sunderland.) For as long as supplies last, all orders will ship with a piece of Fountain Pen Day SWAG!
