Good luck with your purchase. I like that sense of humour!

Wonderful advice!! It has served me well, but sadly contributed to my exclamationaddictioness!! However, as it is apparently a genetic disease, I’ve had it since birth and am quite accustomed to living with it, including the adverse social impact. (I also suffer from intermittent ellipsesese…)

Hi Wendy,

Exclamationphobia may have deterred some responses to your query, but I’ll suggest this:

You seem to be planning a large purchase. So think like a purchaser. Make a detailed list, including the required delivery date, and fax or email it to your favourite retailers, asking them for their best price. See what they say. I’m sure many of them need and would welcome your business as well, especially in a recession.

Oh… My comment is awaiting moderation and I am awaiting advice… oh… I have to figure this out and I am getting more confused by the minute!
To summarize… I guess I am looking for:
-A Premium perfect pencil “set” for the executive type “sons”,
-A pretty (unsure which) perfect pencil (no executive desk accessory type box necessary) for the daughters,
-The aluminum perfect pencil (black pencils preferred)for the grandson…

Is there ONE place where I can get ALL, and be assured of a relatively good deal?

URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!! PLEASE! A MATTER FOR THE HEART!
I am helping my mother buy gifts for our family, and want something that they can remember her by and will last a lifetime… she has been recently diagnosed and this is extremely important to her. After VERY lengthy debates and discussion we have firmly decided upon the Faber Castell Perfect Pencil for her one son & his family. For her son I was thinking the Platinum, his wife Platinum or silver and son (the grandson) an aluminum. I wasn’t going to try the plastic model. There might be a couple other family members who will get a “perfect pencil” I have done abundant research (your site is outstanding, I thank you) I am familiar with all the models – I like the desk sets that come with refills and the beautiful boxes, but not everyone should get/would want the box so I will get just the pencil and some refills. My question is: WHERE DO YOU RECOMMEND I PURCHASE ALL OF THESE??? Do I really need to shop around and get the “Desk Set/platinum” from one website, the aluminum from another…UGH! I see a variety of prices (of course I really need to watch the total cost – this is getting pricey!) I really would prefer to find ONE place for the variety I am seeking, yet is getting so confusing to find good prices and variety! Add to that my worry because some of the websites have vague descriptions and I may not be getting what I THINK I am getting, and that is why the price is good.

I have only a couple of days to place these orders – they will be given out at Thanksgiving – probably my Mom’s last one…This is so very important… PLEASE HELP!!!!

Congratulations, surely! By the way, you received three or four “go look there” mentions in a thread on Fountain Pen Network yesterday.

Way to go on reaching four years and 425 posts! Loved the pieces on the Blackfeet Indian Pencil. That picture brought back memories of when I was a kid in school in Virginia.
