Once upon a time there was a pen that surprised me in all the right ways. I didn't expect it to happen, but it was a real treat to use. And now, I want that pen to surprise someone else.

The Staedtler Intium Lignum Fountain Pen is a stunner. It's well put together, looks beautiful, and writes wonderfully. And I'm giving it away to one lucky reader.

Here is how to enter:
