When I left home to start my training to become a registered nurse my mother gave me a Parker pen set. It was a beautiful pen set with my name engraved on the side and I still cherish it today. When Mum gave it to me she said, "this is to make sure you write to me often", and I did. Every time I picked up my pen I thought of my mother and, being a little home sick, it made me feel close to her.
Many parents will soon be saying goodbye to children going off to University and many will be looking for a farewell gift to give their child. An engraved pen is simple and special, especially in this age of text messages and emails. A beautiful pen asks to be used and what better way to use it than to write to the folks at home.
When someone you love is going away what better gift is there than an engraved pen set and encourage them to keep in touch.

Very nice, you just gave me a gift idea for my cousin who started his first year of school.
The art of handwritten notes is dying maybe we can help that one pen at a time.

That's great Ann. I think a hand written letter is lovely, you can keep it and read it over and over and there is something more personal about the fact that this piece of paper was touched by someone you care about. Email is just a tad impersonal I think.
