As we're heading well into December you know what that means... holiday shopping. While we all like buying gifts for other people, sometimes we just need to buy stuff for ourselves too. Especially pens!

To spread a little holiday cheer this month I wanted to offer up two $25 JetPens gift certificates to a couple of lucky readers! Writing the blog is a lot of fun and I appreciate everyone that visits.

CONTEST RULES (the "fine print"):

- Contest will run through Sunday, December 13th and will end at 11:59pm Arizona Time, USA

- To enter, leave a comment below (limited to one entry per person; no cheating!): Why do you enjoy pens? Or simply, "why pens?!" which is the question I get a lot. Is it design, writing, engineering, status... nostalgia? This is something I've thought a lot about and would love to hear what you think! ...and, take a moment to read what others have written. : )

- I will arrange the entries in numerical order and randomly select two winners. The winners will be announced on the blog on Monday, December 14th and will need to connect with me within a week to claim their prize (or someone else gets it!).

- This giveaway is open to both US and International readers.
