Father’s Day is an invitation to honour the man behind the role.

This time, we mark the occasion with a new release close to our hearts — a special edition of our Classic Rollerball Pen, offered in three distinct finishes that reflect three remarkable ways of being. Sky Blue, Hand-Brushed Bronze and Dark Grey. Each chosen to honour a kind of presence, a way of moving through the world with strength and intention.

Because the most meaningful gifts aren’t just given. They’re felt.

The Visionary

He’s guided by optimism and a deep curiosity about what lies ahead. Whether he’s exploring new ideas or places, he sees possibility where others see routine. His presence feels like forward motion — always open, always inspired.

Gift inspiration:

Garmin Instinct 2 Smartwatch

Built for those who thrive in motion, this GPS-enabled smartwatch combines military-grade toughness with intuitive design. It monitors heart rate, stress levels, and sleep cycles while staying lightweight on the wrist. Whether he's hiking, travelling, or simply keeping pace with life, it reflects his love for smart, purposeful tools that never slow him down.

Scriveiner Classic Rollerball Pen in Sky Blue

A writing tool, the pen, as uplifting as his perspective. With a polished finish in such a bright hue, our sky blue special edition rollerball pen speaks to those who lead with vision.

Schmidt's German-made liquid ink system installed in the Scriveiner rollerball pen delivers smooth, confident writing. An everlasting companion for thoughts, goals, and everyday clarity. For a man whose ideas are always moving forward.

The Maker

He finds purpose in doing — hands busy, mind focused, heart steady. From repairing the old to shaping the new, his work is quiet, deliberate, and full of pride. He doesn’t chase perfection; he crafts it.

Gift inspiration:

Opinel No. 08 Knife

The legend of knives, with a story to match. The No. 08 features a beechwood handle and stainless steel blade, known for its perfect balance of tradition and utility. It locks safely open and folds neatly away — ideal for woodworking, gardening, or simply honouring the beauty of a well-made EDC tool. It's a gift that respects his craft and his care.

Scriveiner Classic Rollerball Pen in Hand-Brushed Bronze

This stunning pen, made of brass and plated with bronze, is hand-treated for a brushed finish and coated with premium transparent lacquer — a tribute to materials that endure through time. Whether jotting notes in the workshop or sketching out an idea, it brings elegance to his process.

A Schmidt-made liquid ink system allows for the flow of a fountain pen and the reliability of a ballpoint pen, striking a perfect balance. A tool of precision and permanence, for the man who builds with intention.

The Quiet Force

He moves with intention, speaks with care, and earns respect without needing to demand it. Grounded and calm, he’s the steady centre of everything around him. In his world, quality always outweighs noise.

Gift Inspiration:

Stamford Leather Notebook

Crafted in the UK using British leather and hand-bound paper, this notebook is a quiet expression of quality. The Silver Birch colourway is refined and calming, while the lay-flat design makes it a joy to use. Whether he’s making daily notes, recording memories, or simply enjoying the feel of pen on paper, this notebook becomes a personal ritual.

Scriveiner Classic Rollerball in Dark Grey

Subtle yet deeply expressive, this limited edition dark grey rollerball pen carries weight without flash. The finish is cool and composed, offering a moment of pause every time it’s uncapped.

Engineered with precision, balanced to perfection, and hosting a Schmidt liquid ink system made in Germany, the Scrivener ballpoint pen offers reliability and control in every line — a trusted companion for the thoughtful mind, and a gift that reflects presence and respect.

Honouring the Father Figure

Father’s Day isn’t just for fathers. It’s for the men who show up — with wisdom, with care, with quiet consistency. Whether he’s a dad, grandfather, uncle, mentor, or simply someone who’s always been there, this day is about recognising that presence in all its forms.

And yet, choosing a gift for someone so meaningful can feel like an impossible task. How do you wrap appreciation, history, and quiet love into something small enough to hold?

That’s where intention matters most. A Scriveiner pen is more than a writing instrument. It’s a gesture of respect, a nod to who he is and all the ways he’s shaped your world.
