I gave this pen to my husband for our wedding anniversary, in 40th Wedding Anniversary gift "ruby" red. I had it specially engraved with his initials and a commemorative anniversary note. It may not seem like a typical anniversary gift, but for a guy who uses and loses blase' black pens a lot and a guy who is not interested in over-the-top, expensive gifts like new cars and trips to Paris, this was a perfect present for him. I love that he'll use it everyday and remember who gave it to him and why. He loves it because it is nice, attractive and comfortable to use, but isn't ostentatious.
