You're right! That red cover of the one piece planner! Now I must look for the A6 cover from last year - the red one, just so I can swap from time to time and use with my red VP. But the ivory logbook goes well with almost any pen so it will be nice with my VP too! :) Thanks for watching and Aww xD We can discuss getting one of my Kenchan keychain :)
Whoa that Opus 88 is really nice, I saw them in my feed on FPD but this looks so much nice than the photos! Love all the goodies, thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for watching, Foxglove! :D It really is so much more beautiful in person!! Some videos don't do it justice (reels I've seen), and I hope mine captured how beautiful it looks :) I'm super excited to use it this month!
Oh, Monica! Don'tchu worry! I didn't have it on premier, I've been wanting to sleep in on Sundays hahaha!! Plus it's such a long haul video, I wanted to give people the option to just skip to the sections they wanted to watch instead of having to watch through all 50 minutes of it. Can't wait to make that collection video for ya'll!
Fun, Lao! Got a 3776 for myself on FPD and some inexpensive ones (Cross and Conklin, I think) to give away to people I'm hoping to take into this rabbit hole. For Black Friday, I got a Montegrappa Team Fox Tulip for a great price from Endless Pens. Looking forward to getting back from vacation and opening up all those items!
Oooo! Team Fox Tulip, that sounds like a very amazing name for a Montegrappa pen. You'll have to share a picture of that pen with me! I'm excited for you to open everything :) I also got myself a 3776 from CultPens that I'll share once it arrives!
@@joyfulpens The creme will release on December 6 :) The rosso is a gorgeous bright red/pink color! I hope you'll be able to get it! I just know that I won't fully enjoy silver trimmed ECOs, so those are out of my list - and sadly, Creme Rose Gold is very similar to white rose gold, so I need to see videos of it before making my decision.
@@KenchanKrafts I feel that! I rarely buy preorders, but I ended up buying the Benu Bear-y Merry Christmas pen. Unfortunately there aren't any videos of it yet but I am super excited!
Thank you, Jayne! I'm so happy you think so, these keychains are just the best. I most likely will make more in the future, so if you'd like one just message me on Instagram! :) And yes! Winning that Endless giveaway was THE BEST!! Close second was earning enough commission money to buy my Homo Sapiens from Atlas! ^_^ This FPD month has been amazing. :)
Oooo!! Did you get their grumpy kitty opus pen? I think that one is so cute!! I'm sure it will continue to be on sale, so I will get it someday! I love that they keep restocking that one because it's just too cute to stay sold out or to be seasonal. I'm so happy sharing mine helped revitalize your excitement to ink them up! :D Thank you for watching!
Had so much fun seeing all of your new stuff!!! I think you need a new Pelikan M800 for those dry inks! That Anderillium butterfly blue is so pretty...and love that Colorverse Atlas exclusive. Adding that to my bag now! xoox
xD That's totally relatable - as you saw in my reactions haha! Going from what we're used to, to something totally different without actually knowing how big of a difference something is is such an interesting revelation! I hope you enjoy your Day-Free this year! :)
I loved your haul but I really love that you were able to make these keychains. That's so awesome. Love this! I hope you share all of those pens with us in the future and tell us what you like and don't like about them.
Thank you, Simone! I absolutely adore my keychains! I'm sending them out to friends and would love to make more to send out if you'd like one, too! ♥ I'm making my full collection video right now and I'm finding it very difficult to keep it tamed since it's so long and so many pens!! It's hard to talk about likes and dislikes about every pen even though I want to in such a video XD
I skipped FP day, and spent all my money on early black Friday shopping. The Pelikan 40 years of Souveran was on of them :). I got a couple of Magna cartas the Mag 600 and Mag 1000----the mags are not here yet.
Yes - you went biggggg :D I can't wait to see you unbox and share your Mags. Since you're using numbers like the Pelikans...are they also categorized like Pelikans? The Mag 1000 must be larger and more expensive! haha
Oh my gosh, Lao...this haul is amaaaaazing. The pens are all 100% beautiful and I'm SO HAPPY you won the giveaway for the gift card! I am newly hooked on Anderrilium inks since I tried Tolype Moth Warm. It's such a unique, taupey brown color, and it's perfect in my Platinum 3776 Nagasawa Silhouette. Love! Need to order more. Enjoy all your new goodies!
Thank you, Andi! I was so happy to have won the giveaway, too! I shop there all the time, so it feels so great to get something back from them for all my support for them XD Anderillium inks are just so amazing and I love their jam jar style ink bottles! So cute! I'll need to share my swatches of all the inks from that pen meet, because I think I got ALL of their inks in my notebook. Tolype Moth Warm is gorgeouss! It's got a peachy undertone to that brown - it's lovely! The Nagasawa Silhouette was one of the 3776 pens I wanted!! I regret not buying it at the pen show when it was 220, now it is 280 on most sites! XD I'm glad you have one and that you have the perfect ink in it!
xD Thank you, Aileen! :D Don't you also have your own lovely FPD purchases and stash? ^_^ Pennonia is super affordable, too, for their great inks! I need to get more of their inks.
Oh wow! That is a fabulous haul. I was even excited to see your Kennedy jigsaw, as that whole era fascinates me…..(I remember it🤪) The pens are gorgeous, all of them. I’m hankering after a blue pen , and have almost bought that Twsbi several times! In honour of your red and black vibe I’m going to ink up my black matte Lamy with a red ink…. haha …thanks for sharing your latest beauties 👍
Oof, yes, Kennedy Era was quite iconic in US and world history XD loved that they added that for vintage vibe and marketing for Esterbrook haha! I wouldn’t have bought this Twsbi if it wasn’t on sale for ye price of regular ECOs…as it should have been in the first place! Haha and thank you so much!!! That makes me so happy that you’re inking a red ink. I’m guessing it’s a dark red ;) I know you love darker inks! Plus bright reds aren’t that great for writing. Thanks for watching , Jean!
Great video!! You made such wonderful selections. Congratulations on your Endless Pens winnings!!!! I tried to get the Leonardo Fioritura Viola (this time and last!) but the website glitched on me. When I got the chance to go back and try again, it was already sold out again! 😩😩
Hi Kara! Thank you for watching and commenting! I remember messaging you on Reddit about the pen!! I'm so sorry it bugged out on you, that's so frustrating!! But I know that pen isn't out on many channels, so I will be sure to feature it a lot in my videos for you to enjoy vicariously through me! :D It will be the steel nib, so it may not show the most beautiful of nib writing, but I still love the steel nibs!
@@KenchanKrafts OMG, Lao! I was able to get the Fioritura Violet on preorder today!!! The only they had available was fine nib, which should be fine, but I can order a fine rose gold later if I want! 🥳🥳🥳
@@karamishmash this is literally the best news to wake up to!! I’m so happy for you my friend! It was meant to be, that’s amazing that they had one left, hello?! The stars aligned for you lol. Can’t wait for you to get it!
@@KenchanKrafts No problem, I love your videos they're always so relaxing to watch! Also, yes he is so cute! I unfortunately missed the first round of pre-orders and then the second time they came around they were sold out so fast. :( It is such a stunning pen and I can't wait to see your video on it, hope you enjoy the pen as well.
I think not all the goodies you got from the pelikan hub are provided by pelikan, in my city people just got the pink notebook and the ink of the year. Maybe the hub masters got local stores to collab on the bags?
That's probably it, that's why I had gotten so much extra goodies in this bag. And it only makes sense for pelikan to give the ink and pad, since, I don't think there was any fee for signing up (if there was, it was just enough to cover most of the ink, which is fair). Whoever their hub masters were, they did a great job of collabing and getting great freebies :) Thanks for watching, Jessica!
That Leonardo Smeraldo is on my wish list! Green is my third-favorite color, particularly teal, dark turquoise, and jewel-like tones such as emerald. I also love that Opus 88, since blue is my second-favorite color. For my Fountain Pen Day hauls, I got the Esterbrook Estie Maui, the Sailor Pro Gear Slim Cobra, the Conklin Israel 75th anniversary (the most meaningful pen in my collection now), the LAMY strawberry, the Leonardo Aloha, a 36-pen carrying case from Monteverde I got for 65% off, and a cute little beckoning cat pen rest. I also got an ink haul and a BENU Día de los Muertos limited edition pen which I ordered before Halloween but only received recently. Today I uploaded my hauls video, which took a long time to both film and edit since my main focus this month is NaNoWriMo.
Wow!! Love that! You got a lot of fun goodies! Esterbrook is on my radar but I have yet to see the perfect Estie colorway. I do love the Nuveau Bleu though. What is your very first favorite color? Is it purple? XD I think teals and greens are my first, then blues and periwinkle tones, then all rest except black! lol so excited to watch your haul video :) thanks for letting me know your haul and the notice on your video!
amazing!!! so happy for the great deals you grabbed (montblanc inks, leonardo and twsbi!) i was looking at the opus 88 sapphire as well, after your demo i might just get it!
It's a fairly large pen!! But it's absolutely gorgeous! You should get it from Endless - I think it retails for 140 and it went on sale for about 100 after the discounts! :)
If that Kanreki was just a solid red, I probably wouldn’t have gone for it! But the sparkle and shimmer threw me into the checkout and I couldn’t be happier with it! One of my catboy keychains is calling your name this holiday! 😼😻😽
Hello! I’m so glad this special day exists. I was able to grow my ink collection. This year I hope to start my Pelikan collection now that I finally got to try one…I have a list of Pelikan pens on my wishlist and this is the first one I tried and the first one I will get. Do you like the Pelikan inks? Thanks for sharing!
I love the Glauco Cambon so much, so is that the one you tried and want? XD It's totally a game changer of a Pelikan M600 pen. Absolute beauty and writer. I like Pelikan inks yes - they are very saturated and lovely for them being on the drier end. But any wet pen will make these Pelikan inks feel wet.
@@KenchanKrafts Hello! Yes that was the very first Pelikan I tried and fell in love with it. It’s so much more beautiful in person, a true work of art! I only have the Rose Quartz no and the Apatite sample you sent for Christmas and I love that color that I will get a bottle of it.
Hey Ryan! Thanks for watching and asking! Fountain Pen Day is the first Friday of every November and if you go to Atlas Stationer's channel, they had the founder of Fountain Pen Day at their store in Chicago on Fountain Pen Day for a live show :) I think that will be a great video to watch to learn more about it. Almost every Fountain Pen retailer around USA and some stores in Europe will provide between 10-20% discounts off their entire store and certain items are discounted even more. If you have one or two specific stationery/fountain pen website you enjoy shopping from, I'm sure they would have some sort of FPD sale! Endlesspens and Atlas Stationers are two of my favorite places for great sales and deals all year round and even better during FPD and Black Friday. If you're into pens and want sales, click on the links I've included on my channel for Atlas for the sales :)
@KenchanKrafts Do you think that Montblanc: Maya Blue its a unique Ink ? or is there similar Inks like Maya Blue ? Because here in Europe (Germany) it´s sold out.
The maya blue is very similar to Kobe Nagasawa - Suidosuji Marche Blue. But that ink is a wet ink vs maya blue being slightly drier. Still the shade of blue/teal from Maya blue is super close to that ink :) Anderillium Banded King Shoemaker Butterfly Blue or Colorverse Dokdo are also quite similar, but those seem to be a bit more blue.
Hi Karen, thanks for watching my video ^_^ For burgundy inks with golden shimmer...I have a few reds you can check out. They're not exactly burgundy, but it might be good to check each out to see which you like more. Van Dieman's Cheetah Chase, Colorverse Volume 7 Kingdom No 041, Ancient Song - Song of the Wanderer, and Wearingeul - The Great Sage Heaven's Equal. Those are all reds with gold shimmers. I don't see a lot of straight up burgundies with gold shimmer, but check these out :) Hope you like some of them. They're typically drier inks, just an fyi, so try to use them in broader nibs or a pen that writes wet.
@@karen1946-o4b You're very welcome! If you're using a Western EF nib, you may not have the best experience with shimmer inks in it as the slit between the tines will be very thin and make it difficult for shimmer particles to flow through, but it is possible to still use shimmers in them and get some shimmer and ink out of the nib. If you're using a Japanese EF, I recommend not using any shimmer inks in those pens. The only good flowing red with gold shimmer I know of is Diamine Firefly, but that one is more red/orange. Alternatively, you could add 1-2 small drops of gold fountain pen shimmer particles to your favorite burgundy ink and make a shimmer ink out of it :) I would suggest going to vanness1938.com/ and type in Burgundy ink in the search to find burgundy colors you like to try out. Pennonia sells shimmer particles here: cultpens.com/products/pennonia-shimmer-additive-15g?variant=43185145872627 Good luck with finding the perfect burgundy ink for your pens!
xD It's beautiful! I love all my rose gold ecos! All my TWSBIs have written on the drier side...this one was no exception. I'm using my Tsuki-yo Pilot ink in it and it writes quite dry! I'm shocked, may need to tune the nib to be a bit wetter. Otherwise, it's such a lovely pen! Thanks for watching my haul ^_^
Loads of fun!
This is so cool to see so many different pens
Thanks! If these four + the ones I haven't gotten yet are cool then I can't wait for you to see the whole collection ♥ Thanks for watching =]
You're welcome!! Great haul! You got the onirigi one. A little spoiler, they'll be doing One Piece again in 2025!
Woohoo!! :D Maybe we'll get a teal cover this time! The onigiri bag is so cute :D
In awe!!! The vanishing point would be so beautiful with your new "One Piece" Hobonichi!! I would buy a keychain!
You're right! That red cover of the one piece planner! Now I must look for the A6 cover from last year - the red one, just so I can swap from time to time and use with my red VP. But the ivory logbook goes well with almost any pen so it will be nice with my VP too! :) Thanks for watching and Aww xD We can discuss getting one of my Kenchan keychain :)

Me, too! ♥
You have to try inks from "the wet pen " designed and made in Washington state!

@KenchanKrafts
Do you think that Montblanc: Maya Blue its a unique Ink ? or is there similar Inks like Maya Blue ? Because here in Europe (Germany) it´s sold out.
The maya blue is very similar to Kobe Nagasawa - Suidosuji Marche Blue. But that ink is a wet ink vs maya blue being slightly drier. Still the shade of blue/teal from Maya blue is super close to that ink :) Anderillium Banded King Shoemaker Butterfly Blue or Colorverse Dokdo are also quite similar, but those seem to be a bit more blue.
Hi! Thank your a lovely video! Is there any ink that you can recommend me, I'm looking for a burgundy with golden shimmer, do you know a good one?
Hi Karen, thanks for watching my video ^_^ For burgundy inks with golden shimmer...I have a few reds you can check out. They're not exactly burgundy, but it might be good to check each out to see which you like more.
Van Dieman's Cheetah Chase, Colorverse Volume 7 Kingdom No 041, Ancient Song - Song of the Wanderer, and Wearingeul - The Great Sage Heaven's Equal. Those are all reds with gold shimmers. I don't see a lot of straight up burgundies with gold shimmer, but check these out :) Hope you like some of them. They're typically drier inks, just an fyi, so try to use them in broader nibs or a pen that writes wet.
@KenchanKrafts thank you very much for replying, the nib that I'm looking for is extra fine, any ideas?
@@karen1946-o4b You're very welcome! If you're using a Western EF nib, you may not have the best experience with shimmer inks in it as the slit between the tines will be very thin and make it difficult for shimmer particles to flow through, but it is possible to still use shimmers in them and get some shimmer and ink out of the nib. If you're using a Japanese EF, I recommend not using any shimmer inks in those pens.
The only good flowing red with gold shimmer I know of is Diamine Firefly, but that one is more red/orange.
Alternatively, you could add 1-2 small drops of gold fountain pen shimmer particles to your favorite burgundy ink and make a shimmer ink out of it :) I would suggest going to vanness1938.com/ and type in Burgundy ink in the search to find burgundy colors you like to try out. Pennonia sells shimmer particles here: cultpens.com/products/pennonia-shimmer-additive-15g?variant=43185145872627
Good luck with finding the perfect burgundy ink for your pens!
@KenchanKrafts THANK YOU so very much! I just got a Pilot E95s extra fine, in deep red and gold! I'm excited about it!! I'll keep you posted!
Love my TWSBI Eco Indigo Bronze in Fine! I have mine inked with Anderillium Flying Squid Blue.
xD It's beautiful! I love all my rose gold ecos! All my TWSBIs have written on the drier side...this one was no exception. I'm using my Tsuki-yo Pilot ink in it and it writes quite dry! I'm shocked, may need to tune the nib to be a bit wetter. Otherwise, it's such a lovely pen! Thanks for watching my haul ^_^
