Holiday Gift Guide for Fountain Pen Lovers (When You Don't Know Anything About Pens)
I feel like I know enough super organized people in my life, the sorts of people who buy their Christmas gifts in September when something goes on sale, that some of it should have rubbed off on me. I'm working on it. It's still early December.
