Here’s a great stocking filler – Stabilo Metallic Pens! I love this set and I’ve had several over the years thanks to how versatile they are. A set of pens in a tin (which makes them particularly attractive to adults) in 8 different colours but with a metallic finish to the ink when it sets. These are an alternative to marker pens or just felt tip colouring pens. They’re appealing to artists as well who want to use them to give a different texture to artwork.
Children will love them because of how fun the ‘shiny’ finish is on them, and they’re quite unusual. As there are 8 colours, they’re pretty versatile too and you can colour anything with them. I like using them to sign Christmas and birthday cards and to decorate the envelopes for children so that they know what’s arriving in the post. The pens are also great for creating gift tags and Christmas cards or attracting attention on signs. The pens I’ve owned previously have lasted for ages and somewhat become my ‘signature’ for sending cards and parcels when everyone knows who the mail is from because they recognise the metallic pens they’re decorated in!
