LONGWIN Crystal Fountain Pen & Pencil Holder Office Supplies Desktop Organizer Desk Decoration Christmas Gift Idea

I bought this pencil holder in the hope that I could use it to stop losing my apple pencil on my cluttered desk. The holder is larger than I expected from the photos, but exactly as large as described and as large as it needs to be. It is reasonably heavy (nicely heavy for its size, like a baseball) and the hole for the pencil is just over one inch deep, or probably an inch from the lowest point of the top, as the horizontal indentation for laying the pencil flat is maybe 1/4 inch. This means the holder does not tip over from the weight of the pencil at all, even though the actual base is much smaller than the diameter of the crystal. I put a small piece of padding in the bottom of the well to protect the pen tip from bumping against hard crystal. I'd love to find a less fancy-looking version because this is a surprisingly pretty item in my purely functional office, but that also gives it a certain charm. It's expensive, but I expect it to last forever. It arrived safely packaged in a padded, fabric-covered gift box.

This crystal pen holder is amazing! It is heavy and catches sunlight and sparkles wonderfully. I am using is along with a feather pen at a tea party I am holding. This item is beautiful! I am very pleased with it!

very nice and sturdy.

Update: this was bought for my mom who has a couple of very nice pens, and - SHE LOVES IT❣️ I'll try to post pictures later!Original, prior to gifting:This was so beautiful for the money. If you're wavering - just get it!!! For a gift for yourself or another - it's sturdy and beautiful.

This is one of my small “do I really need that”purchases that brings pleasure and satisfaction. I use this lovely item as a paperweight and as a fountain pen holder. Best of all, since it’s so handily available, my use of my fountain pen has shot up dramatically, which was my hope when I ordered. It arrived in a well cushioned attractive box and would make a thoughtful gift for your fountain pen loving friends.

Very pretty!

Very nice and high quality.

Excellent holder for a fountain pen. Nice weight. Felt on bottom. Delighted that I can place the pen upright or rest it horizontally in the well-designed groove. I was concerned that the crystal would not be something I would like, but I do. At less than $15.00 in today's dollars, this is a worthwhile buy and would make a lovely gift for someone who has a fine writing instrument--even one with a relatively large diameter. I have a Waterman demonstrator in it.
