The Selection of Personalized Pen Gifts

Are you looking for gold encrusted fountain pens that go for several dollars a pop?

Let me check my list... we have that. Yep!

Or are you looking for a reliable, engraved pen that won’t break the bank?

Of course. We’re drowning in those.

With a short description of each, here are the type of pens that serve as fantastic gifts for your boss, employee, or loved ones:

PEN	DESCRIPTION
Ballpoint	Versatile and works on any smooth surface
Fountain Pen	Luxurious, functional, a little less practical
Rollerball	Enables smooth writing; ballpoint mechanism with liquid-based ink
Gel Pen	Similar to a rollerball, just with gel ink
Felt Tip Pen	Porous fibers make up the pen nib. Think of highlighters, markers, and Micron pens!
Stylus	Glides through computer screens

Now you must be wondering: are they all customizable? You ask a lot of questions! Yes, with Dayspring Pens, they’re customizable within a day’s order (except for the Deep Cut Color-Filled Engraving Style) — regardless of price. All done in-house and, once fully engraved, you can choose to have them shipped out in a day.

Curious about how it works?

The engraving process is one wherein you cut into the surface of some material to permanently imprint a message or design, through a laser or a heated metallic tool. 

Through this process, not only can you make customizable pens, but you can etch many other engravable gift items as well. This includes mugs and wooden frames, for instance!

That said, let’s browse the selection of pens fit for all occasions and price ranges.
