While we’re probably past the point of any delivery being guaranteed for Christmas, we will continue to ship up until December 23, when most of our shipping partners slow down. Plus, even a late-arriving gift is still a gift! We have restocks continuing to arrive, including new shipments from TWSBI, Lamy, Tom’s Studio, Caran d’Ache, and more. Just yesterday, we received a fresh restock of Tom’s Studio fountain pens (including pens with Architect nibs pre-installed), additional Lamy 2000 pens, and of course the new TWSBI ECO Amazonite.
So what about in-person shopping? Many of you have stopped by “by appointment” this week, and public hours start today. For this last holiday shopping weekend, we will be open Thursday and Friday from 1-6pm, Saturday from 10-7pm, and Sunday from 1-5pm. We will be closed December 24-December 26, and reopen on the 27th. We will definitely be closed on New Year’s Day but otherwise business as usual.
Domestic U.S. orders over $75 ship free. Please review our shipping policies and time estimates prior to placing an international order. Orders to Canada may be delayed due to the aftermath of the postal strike, and UK orders are subject to a minimum due to VAT rules. We are open this week Thursday through Sunday!

TWSBI ECO Amazonite Fountain Pens. This new “Amazonite” material from TWSBI is created by mixing colors during the injection molding process, and as a result no two pens look alike! This material has a slightly different feel than your typical plastic TWSBI. Pens are in-stock and shipping.
New Iroshizuku Inks. Three new colors of Iroshizuku inks (Rikka, To-ro, and Syun-gyo) have landed in the shop, and you can see color swatches in Tuesday’s post. We have a blue, a shading orange, and a deep black/brown/red that might be my favorite.
Tom’s Studio Fountain Pen Restock. We have additional stock of the Tom’s Studio “Studio Pocket” fountain pen, including pens that ship with the Tom’s Studio Architect Nib pre-installed. Architect Nibs and Pro-Flex (Zebra G) nibs are once again available for purchase separately.
Tom’s Studio Wren Pocket Fineliner. The Tom’s Studio Wren is a refillable fineliner that comes in a pocketable size. We also have additional Lumos Pro Duo pens in stock as of yesterday.
Tom’s Studio Ink Restock. All colors of Tom’s Studio Ink is back in stock, including Pigmented Black and the Midnight Blue Fineliner Ink, specially formulated to work in the Lumos and Wren fineliner pens.
Lamy 2000 “Taxus” and “Blackwood” Ballpoints. The Lamy 2000 ballpoint doesn’t just come in Makrolon, did you know? These polished wood finishes add an interesting twist to the Lamy 2000’s classic design profile.
Caran d’Ache “Cosmic Blue” and “Cosmic Gold” 849 Ballpoints. The latest special edition releases from Caran d’Ache feature a metallic gradient finish that adds a “festive” element to an underlying industrial look. The blue might be my favorite here.
Taccia Ukiyo-e Inks. Based on the work of four different artists from Japan’s Edo Period, Taccia’s Ukiyo-e ink line features over a dozen wonderfully muted colors - perfect for those who want to add an interesting element to their writing without a loud color.
Lamy Pico Ballpoint Pen. Sales of the Lamy Pico always soar around the holidays, as this cool extendable pocket pen is one of the more practical pocket writing tools around.
Pilot Birdie and Birdie Switch Ballpoints/Pencils. Those looking for an ultra-slim planner or wallet pen will want to consider the Birdie. Currently available as both a mechanical pencil and a mechanical pencil/ballpoint combination.
