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, 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.
This Mother’s Day, write mom a hand written note to tell her how she’s got your vote for Mom of the Year, and give her a Parker IM pen of her own!
The PARKER IM, along with many other models of Parker pens, is available at fine writing specialty stores throughout Canada as well as Basics, Wallacks, Novexco, Staples, Boutique Du Stylo, Charals, Le Parchemin and Staples with prices ranging from $32 to $80 depending on the model of choice.
