Every year I give out Christmas pens instead of Christmas cards. These were a hit!!! The scents, hot cocoa, peppermint, sugar cookie, gingerbread and peppermint. Black ink and retractable for medical field lab coats. At less than a buck its better than a card and cheaper than a candy bar. They are loved. Some still have last years pens. I recommend! Some did have ink leakage at the tip but were usable and no one cared.These were perfect for my “not so pretty sweater” themed office gifts. The scents were true to their description and never faded but not too strong either. So many compliments and seeing my co workers enjoy the pens daily is the best gift of all. Best of all, they write well and great quality. Thank you, Raymond Geddes!!I actually gave them out at our Ugly Christmas party/event. They were placed with a notepad for participants to use and everyone loved them, the smell, and the the smooth writing tips. I will definitely order again and look forward to exploring any other theme pens that are offered by this company. Kudos fora great productCute pens for school hand out!! I wish I would have counted them sooner, only received 23, it was too late to get an extra before handing them out at school, hopefully someone is absent.... count them when you get them!The pens write well, but smell awful. The Hot Chocolate one is the only pen that remotely smells kinda like what it’s supposed to, but they all have a weird metallic smell that makes you nauseous. I even kept the container lid off for a few weeks to see if the smells got better, but they didn’t. I was disappointed and ended up not giving them out to coworkers for Christmas as planned.Heard great things about these last year from a shoppers' forum, but always missed when they were on sale. In NOV 2012 it was posted that they were back to 9.xx for the dozen (1 display)--snagged three dozen. Found out this week that we're having a baby girl, so friends, co-workers, relatives of the FFerret fam are all getting them as Christmas storks with a tag announcing the new little lady on the way.Got great feedback. It's not obvious that they're pens, so you'll have to inform the recipient. They write great and look awesome :) Very festive for Christmas as well.HIGHLY recommended!During Christmas time I bought this for my coworkers. They loved it because there pens always get lost and or someone steals it lol. If you have a big office like mine best present cause it’s festive and helps them work when they lose their pens lolLove the pens. Gave them as giftsExactly what I wanted, but I thought that the end of the pen would be closed. I still like them, thx
