The classic unisex color theme is suitable for both men and women. Give this creative gift to your favorite writer, author or editor, or as a graduation gift to a recent English major graduate.

For the price it’s a good pen and very nice gift for a graduation or a special event. The pen has good heft and writes well. But do not expect Waterman or Monte Blanc quality for this price.

I ordered the Shakespeare pen and received the Beethoven pen. The pen is nice and makes a great gift but I ordered the pen for a Shakespeare-loving guy. Will give the Beethoven pen to his mother who is a piano teacher.
