Which pen brand is good to gift a person?

Depends on what the recipient would what or use the pen for. Reported silly spammer!

First timer something inexpensive as TWSBI Eco, Lamy Safari, Sheaffer No-Nonsense, Chinese sumpin-sumpin.......

Or if the recipient is the Queen of England, perhaps a Montblanc.

And that goes even if you're one of those "I wonder what this button does?" kind of people!

Mods? Admin? Echo?

The links are still there. But in this particular case after a quick check, the links don't appear to be nefarious. But at the end of the day, a spammer is a spammer.

Actually, her Majesty prefers a Parker 51, Burgundy in color with a gold cap, medium nib. I understand she has several that she uses on a daily basis. One with indelible black ink for official correspondance and the other loaded with her own specially chosen color for personal correspondance.

All the Best.

Yes indeed. The last pen I gave as a gift was a jade Aikin Lambert Mercantile.

I wish that someone would give me one of these. Fat thing would be ideal to sign the minutes and resolutions of my lodge.

One thing I recall finding amusing in my high school German class was that "Gift" is a German noun meaning poison. Gives new meaning to "don't look a gift horse in the mouth". A gift pen could be one that you use to send poison pen letters.

In English (having forgotten almost all of my German), I find the use of "gift" as a verb quite annoying, even though, and let me make this clear, I am evidently wrong to do so (that link should be safe to click on).

...I find the use of "gift" as a verb quite annoying....

I agree totally with this. Whatever happened to "give"?

On the other hand, the OP hardly cares so long as we see his spam by bumping it to the top.

Neither Hemingway nor the Duke would have written that.

And while we're at it, let's stomp out "No problem" as a response to "Thank you."

It doesn't matter if the recipient doesn't care. Yes it has happened to me. I'm more choosy who I give a fountain pen to now. If the person shows genuine interest in a pen I am using, I can make things happen. If it is just curiosity, I'll wait to see if they are serious.

You know, I was going to give her one for her last birthday, but she told me she already had a few and thought she'd like to try something different.
