I have mentioned several times (I think ) that I'm a planner addict. And as a planner addict, I'm addicted to anything planner related stuff including pens.
Pengem is a US brand pen with crystals inside and a gem on top. It's a very pretty pen that comes with a ball point refill that you can later on change into a gel ink pen. In the US this costs $9-10 each depending on the type of pen. I think there's also a $12 one but I forgot. The ones I got were $9 each and free shipping in the US address for orders $25 up!
They are so pretty and I love it so much. I prefer the gel ink though than the ballpoint ink. However, I'll just consume the ink that it comes with before changing into my preferred type!
I know this is the digital age but I still prefer writing on an actual piece of paper with a pretty pen!
Don't you just love glittery pens?

Weeeehhhh, we have a lot in common !
It's the first time I've tried this pen. I usually use a fountain pen from pilot, the pilot prera. I also use coleto pens. But pengems are just so pretty! I can't resist not getting myself any.

I am fond of taking notes even nowadays that I used my online calendar to set my schedules. Whenever I have free time, I would take out my note and will start writing, sometimes articles or anything that I can think of. Having a nice pen is a good thing to have. I still remember my high school days when I need to write in order communicate. Yes, they are very pretty and would want to have some of those too.

@toniganzon That's already very expensive. But of course, a good product demands a high price.

Some people are just not into it. I love writing a lot and pens really matter to me. I've been collecting since I became a planner addict.

those are beautiful pens.
for me, since i use the blue, red, and black pens, i buy the cheap pens, but i use the ballpoint pens sent or brought home by my brother- the BIC and the papermate. once a bought a Pilot, but when it fell, i could not use it anymore.

I have tons of pens I love and pengems are just my newest collation. I love my pilot coleto pen with four barrels so I can have different colors of gel ink in them. My most precious one is my pilot prera fountain pen in fine!
Pengems are so fancy and it's the kind of pen you want to flash around hahaha! It's very pretty when the light hits the gem, it sparkles!

@ridingbet the gems is just a gem: precious stone! It's a pen with a gem on top. That's why it's called a Pengem, but that's the brand name too.

@toniganzon hahaha! right, and you might not believe me, but i just mispronounced the names of the pen as PENGEMS, like the PENGE + the 'ems'.
now, i knew that it is PEN- GEMS. (the gems pronounced as jems, am i correct now?)

If you aren't a planner addict you wouldn't know about these pens.
If you like writing with a pen you can check out their website. It's just simply pengems.

@toniganzon no, I am not a planner addict. I don't think we have that pen here in Germany. I use a normal quality German pen.

I love using different kinds of pens. My favorite is the pilot prera. I don't use pencils though but Japan has the best quality when it comes to pens and pencils. I usually buy from there.

Paper matters a lot to me too. So my planners and journals use a special kind of paper. They're called tomoe river paper from Japan.

Good. That's good to hear. I usually use fountain pens and brush pens as well. You should check out the pengems. Not sure it's available in your country though. But maybe you can get it online.

@SHOHANA They don't have a physical store in the US. They can be bought online. In my country, there are some online shops selling them on Instagram. Maybe some online shops from your country are selling them too.

I must admit that I misread it as "Penguins" and was going to say "Me too." Nothing like a good pen!

I have tried buying cheap ones from China and it was a total waste of money.
The best ones are from Japan.

I love writing. Sometimes I really get sick typing in my computer. So I always still have my notebook where I write what I feel and sent it to the big man up in the heaven.

Who would steal it? It's just a pen. I more other expensive pens but I've lost none. I'm planning to buy a fountain pen with a gold nib. It's not that expensive, it costs Php5,500 only.

Thanks for explaining what it is that you like. At first I thought it was penquins but I was totally wrong. I have never heard of that brand of pen before. I am not into glittery pens.
