Perhaps it's more of a hobby than a little luxury, but if you do any handwriting at all, a nice fountain pen and quality notebook. It's just a nice feeling to write with a really smooth pen on good paper. And if you have RSI/arthritis like me, you may find that fountain pens are less fatiguing to use than a roller ball or gel pen. Sure, you have to clean and refill every so often, but that turns into a fun little ritual itself.
Yaaaasssss found r/fountainpens and decided to get one since I write a lot at work. Love refilling and changing colors :)
r/fountainpens was probably my favorite subreddit. Everyone was so nice and supportive of each other. During the time when Reddit gave out free awards, I made several accounts just so I could award new people who introduced themselves with entry-level fountain pens.
Aww! I never got up the courage to post but that's so thoughtful and encouraging for newbies!
It's pretty much always a great investment to give yourself the opportunity to try out different variations of a tool then upgrade to a great version of the style you like.
