Evening guys and girls,
I wouldn't normally ask for pen recommendations, but I could use a little help on this one.
My brother gets married in April. He's in the unusual position in that he and his wife to be won't be setting up home together (long story). So that means that traditional wedding gifts are out - toasters, wine glasses, blenders and the like.
He's doing an English degree and I thought it might be nice to get them a pair of fountain pens.
The criteria I'm looking for is something traditional looking that won't break the bank. They won't form all of the gift, but I need to aim for something as cheaply as I can reasonably go. Not a great criteria for part of your brothers wedding gift I know, but times are hard. It'll also need to be presentable - a nice box would be a big bonus.
My initial search turned up these , with the added advantage that they could be engraved. However when I googled 'Franklin Covey', it would appear that they're some kind of consultancy training firm. I wouldn't want him to do a search and think I got them free on some seminar or something.
So do we have any idea's?
I'm not 100% settled on the engraving idea, but would be interested in your thoughts. If we find something really special, I can probably run to £40-45 ($60-70) for the pair.
