Even in a weird year like 2020, there are still certainties in life: one, of course, being that first Friday of November, it's Fountain Pen Day! Of course, you should always take good care of your fountain pens, but today is the day to do something extra: buy them flowers, or a box of chocolates... Ok, maybe that's a bit weird, just enjoy some peaceful writing today, or clean that one pen you've had inked in your pen case or desk drawer for far too long (we're all guilty of doing this, aren't we?), that's an option too!
But let's start the FPD celebrations with a giveaway, shall we! With the help of Esterbrook and Fountain Pen Day, I've got a fantastic Esterbrook-themed swag bag to give to one lucky winner! The contents are pretty insane: one of Esterbrook's new JR fountain pens, an Esterbrook NOOK single pen case to keep it nice and cozy, a custom vintage Esterbrook-themed stamp (never thought I'd say this about a stamp, but it's super cool!), and of course a bunch of Fountain Pen Day stickers, pins and bookmarks, so you can show off your nerdiness in style!
RULES: Open worldwide! Giveaway ends 11/7/2020. The winner will be chosen via random.org, and announced in a separate post. The winner will be contacted directly via email, if he/she fails to reply within one week, a new winner will be picked. Only entries with valid email address are eligible to win. Invalid entries are denied.

ReplyDeleteI've yet to own an Esterbrook, perhaps this is my chance.
ReplyDeleteI celebrated by giving my 2 1/2 year old daughter her first fountain pen and showing her how to use it. She now calls it her fancy pen. Overall, amazing day :)
