Why this gift works

A weighted pen in a presentation box, ready to be engraved with a name or a date. It is the classic milestone gift for a reason: it is dignified, it is personal once engraved, and a good pen is one of the few objects people keep on a desk for decades.

It suits a graduation, a retirement or a promotion equally, and it is the rare gift that works for a colleague you like but do not know well - personal enough to be thoughtful, formal enough to be safe.

Who is this gift for?

Great for

  • A teacher at the end of the school year
  • A doctor, lawyer or anyone who still signs things by hand
  • A coworker you like but do not know well

Think twice if

  • They never write by hand
  • You want a gift that surprises

The catch

Pens are a well-trodden milestone gift and an un-engraved one is forgettable - the engraving is what makes it a keepsake, and it makes the item non-returnable.

Skip for someone who never writes by hand, or when you want a gift that surprises rather than one that is reliably appropriate.

Worth knowing before you buy

  • Some listings include engraving and others sell the pen for separate engraving - check which.
  • Engraving makes it non-returnable, so double-check the spelling.
  • Note the refill type on the listing - it matters for a pen meant to last.

Why we like it

  • Dignified, and personal once engraved
  • A good pen stays on a desk for decades
  • Formal enough for work, personal enough to feel considered
