What did you buy yourself for Christmas?

[LandyVlad]

I bought a TWSBI Eco with <EF> nib, another with an <F> nib,

a bottle of Diamine Pumpkin, and  

a bottle or  Iroshizuku Yama-budo

 

edit: Now they've arrived I might as well add a photo  

 

Top: TWSBI Eco Transparent Purple, Extra Fine Nib. Inked with Diamine Pumpkin.

 

Bottom: TWSBI Eco Dark Sapphire, Fine Nib. Inked with Iroshizuku yama-budo.

 

and yes eventually the yama-budo will go into the purple pen for... 'ADHD adjacent' reasons.

I have ordered a Lamy Studio Glacier with a fine nib to sit alongside to the Studio Rose EF someone else here made possible. The Rose pen travelled with a bottle of Robert Oster Australis Rose.  💙💗

An iPad. I know, it's not a Fountain pen, but my Gen 4 iPad just isn't cutting it anymore.

  I have a “fountain pen” stylus for mine by Adonit.

My plan is to get myself another Kaweco Sport (M) because I'm loving the one I just got for my birthday.

 

I also have my eye on a number of inks from Birmingham Pen Company.

  I honestly can’t recall what all I have bought so far; I can give a better accounting on Xmas itself, but my Pelikan Edelstein Moonstone and Crown Mill A4 Vellum just arrived. I recall a couple of Pelikans, M605 F and an early M300 CI. There’s more (husband bought music gear as his gift to himself, so it’s pretty fair, even though I get more items) under the tree and in the stocking.

Pardon the poor photography, but I'll have this black Sheaffer Snorkel Special waiting for me underneath the tree this Christmas! Technically, I bought it for my wife to give to me for Christmas. 😊

Conklin Crescent, S4 size, with two gold bands on the barrel and a straight slip cap.  It won't go to the bench for restoration until after I give it to myself in ten days.  Made 1905-1914.

Cool - looking forward to the thread on that (hint hint)

[LandyVlad]

I added a photo to the OP now that my presents arrived.

No way I was going to wait til Christmas Day. I have no kids so I live by my own rules!   

 

edit: I live by my wife's rules.

Nothing for myself (so far) but it's going to depend on holiday travel plans.  If we get to NYC, I may try to scope out the "Harry Potter" al-Star pens -- there's a couple of colors that have piqued my interest.

Two Levenger True Writer fountain pens I’ve had my eye on, plus their new Sugar Plum ink.

Montblanc Robrt Louis Stevenson notebook to complement to RLS FP I bought in October.

My order arrived today!! And I have a Christmas dinner and gift exchange with friends. So it’s an early Christmas gift opening day. Although the Levenger order was made due to a sale that got my target pens at half price. So they are coincidental but can be viewed as gifts to me. I do need to open the shipping box to make sure the right items are in there. 🤭

This Newton. A Majestic in Urban Offroader by D Squared Arts. Currently awaiting a replacement converter (it broke while installed).

Here are the goodies I got for myself. The two Levenger True Writers Northern Lights and Carrara, and the Sugar Plum ink.
