Parker Pens is gift giving made easy for Mother’s Day

Call me old fashioned, but I love using pen and paper. In today’s digital world, that seems almost out of place and when I attend conferences, you can bet I am way out of place in a room filled with laptops, tablets and smartphones clicking away. But, there’s something about jotting your thoughts down on paper that intrigues me. I’m a list maker, an organizer if you will, and I rely on the bedside notepad or desk side scribble paper to keep me on track! A perfect Mother’s Day gift for a gal like me? A Parker IM pen!


I’m a bit of  a sucker for office supplies and I love the idea of having a special pen, not just an average, plastic pen but something really special and Parker fits that bill. Parker Pens are a bit of an expert at making special writing tools, they’ve neen in business for 125 years this year! Isn’t that incredible?!

Parker IM Says Thank You in  a Stylish Way

Parker IM


PARKER IM, with its smart choice of high quality finishes, focuses on comfort and simple, high-performance functionality.  Its tapered contemporary shape teams up with the versatile appeal of metal to give instant modern style and understated elegance.

This Parker IM pen in a classic metallic pink lacquer with a satin finish is simply stunning. Pink and Silver is a long time favourite colour combo of mine, on the Parker IM,  it’s feminine sophistication at it’s finest. The black ink, is rich and runs smoothly on a fairly fine tip, which is what I prefer.
