Best. Gift. Ever.

As a high school student, I am definitely in the minority of pen type. Luckily, my friends tolerate my fountain pen obsession (it entertains them). I've even tried to convert a couple of them to fountain pens (to no avail). Today, a day before Christmas break, we were exchanging our Christmas gifts with each other. My girlfriend presented me with a small, heavy box. I was thoroughly confused. The box was quite heavy for such a small size. As I quizzically unwrapped it, my eyes began to glow. She got me a bottle of Emerald of Chivor!!! I had been meaning to get some for myself, but I impulsively bought a Kindle Fire with my pen budget, which, being a high school student, is quite low. The ink is amazing, and I'm super happy that she took the time to track it down. I had mentioned a "green ink with gold sparkles." This one's a keeper!

 

Edited because I had typed ones instead of one's and it was bothering me.

Sounds like you found a great girlfriend. Enjoy the ink and merry christmas.

The right move now is to write her some letters with the ink she bought you and win her heart anew with every day.

I love using Emerald of Chivor, so wonderful. The Hallmark Christmas cards I used this year show both the wonderful red sheen and the gold shimmer of this ink as well or maybe better than Tomoe River paper does. I used a 1.5mm Goulet nib that is super wet in my Vac-700 pen for this ink.

How considerate of your girlfriend! You just have enough time to pen a poem for her...

Mentioning in the letter that the 1670 series consists of three more colors

 

Best regards.

I bet she is happy that you are so happy.

A thank you note in your finest penmanship with your new ink would be a perfect thank you!

 

Seems like the ink and the girlfriend are keepers!
