Giving a pen seems to be a normal gift but it's not as simple as it looks. While gifting a pen also one needs to think before buying a pen gift. The pen gift can be given to anyone but the person matters the most. A perfect pen has to be given to a particular person. Here we are suggesting some of the very important points which one need to take care before gifting pen.

Don't scream sexism when we say gender matters when you buy a pen gift for the boss. While there is no gender stereotyping when it comes to pens, it is the slight details like the pen size, type and the necessity that makes the difference. When it comes to women it is better to go for slim and sleek pens. They are comfortable to hold and don't strain their hands. Moreover, they give more of a feminine vibe. Not to mention they are lighter than their counterparts, the chunkier pens.

But it plays right opposite when it comes to men. They prefer chunkier pens with a big barrel which are heavier as a result. The chunkier pens are easier to hold in their large hands. In addition to that, you might also want to keep an eye on the style and the colour of the pen. While men go for solid colours like black and silver with a smooth finish, women might go for a feminine look. Leading brands like Parker have rose gold pens catering to women.

Pens can also be a fashion statement, a subtle expression of their inner selves, especially if they are carrying it daily. It can also be an easy indication of our preferences and style. It’d be good if you didn't underestimate pens. You can get pens suiting every personality and trend, be it bohemian or classy or glamorous or modest or artistic, you can find a pattern and colour that goes with their personality.

Everyone loves a personal touch to the gift. And that makes the gift truly special. Engraving can be subtle like on chrome-finish pens or bold like on lacquered pens. And always go for initials, a sentence or the full name detracts from the beauty of the pen. Most sellers offer personalization but do check for if the pen is suitable for engraving. Finally, go for a contemporary stylized font since it is a personal gift.

Pens are an extension of the self and have to be chosen depending on the profession as well. Someone with an air of authority would go for solid dark colours, chunky barrel and simple lines. This gives a professional vibe. But if you are gifting a pen to someone who has to write for long periods of time at a stretch, comfort should be the first and primary concern. When it comes to someone in the art world, the pen would be a showcase of their eccentric nature and should be selected with that in mind. But if the pen is most likely to stay in handbags or carried everywhere, a ballpoint pen would be the better choice.

After covering all the superficial factors, don't ignore the finer technical details, like the fill type and nib. When it comes to ballpoints and rollerballs, it is pretty much straight forward. But, fountain pens are not so. Fountain pens can accept both cartridges and bottle-inks. Most pens nowadays have features of both types. Make sure the one you get is of the same. And also, that the pens accept cartridges from other brands. If not, they should come with a converter at least.

The nib size, though, varies for everyone. Not everyone goes for the same nib size. But if you are a beginner, go for a medium nib. Smaller the nib, finer the writing but less smooth. “Medium” is the most famous type to go for but there are those who prefer “Fine” nib too. Then again, it depends on personal choice and comfort too.
