Writing Instruments
We’re not going to lie to you, e-mail is essential. It gets the business done, holds the purchase confirmations and gets us our daily fix of everything. But it’s also horribly impersonal and nowhere near as fun to open. There’s something inherently personal about the old school – writing someone a letter, jotting down a note or penning the great American novel. Upgrade your co-workers from BIC with one of these pens and you’ll be first on the To-Do list.
Fjader Pen – $40
Beta Inkless Pen – $28
Messograf Pen by Cleo Skribent – $25
Graphite Writing Sculptures – $30+
Bookends
People cling to their iPads, Nooks, and Kindles more tightly than Charlton Heston to his precious gun. For our money, when it comes to reading (apps and movies don’t count) a real book outweighs the digital version in everything but convenience. Books have a way of becoming unwieldy though, so help your co-workers keep their collections in line with these clever bookends. Who knows, it might be enough to get them to finally lend you that first edition of Harry Potter.
Quotation Mark Bookends – $95
Glass Half Bookends – $58
Falling Bookend – $28
Book End Book Ends – $28
Everyone’s office has a different style, group dynamic and collection of people. If you have the perfect co-worker gift idea and we mistakenly left it off the list, leave a comment below.
