The next time you find yourself at the end of a long, exhausting day at the office, what would you rather find in your jacket pocket? A fancy Montblanc writing instrument, or an herb-grinding, weed-dispensing pen that guarantees a super-relaxed evening? The answer is obviously the latter.

Think youāre the biggest Star Wars fan in our neck of the galaxy? Hereās your chance to prove it once and for all, because only the most loyal of Star Wars devotees will be willing to spend just shy of $25,000 for a lightsaber fountain pen and a nifty floating display stand.
In an ideal world every product would perfectly balance form and function. But in that ideal world this Lego-compatible ballpoint pen from ThinkGeek wouldnāt exist. Who cares if itās the least ergonomic writing tool you can buy, you get to customize it with Lego!
At the very tip of a ballpoint pen is, you guessed it, a ball that rolls around and basically stains the paper with ink. Imagine if you dipped your body in paint and then rolled around white carpet, thatās basically how writing instruments works. Hereās an incredibly up close angle of a ballpoint pen writing from NRKā¦
Itās really no surprise that the company that raised the vacuum from a lowly appliance to a lust-worthy gadget puts a strong focus on design. But a recent visit to Dysonās US headquarters revealed that design ethos extends all the way down to the pens used around the office.
Itās not like I totally judge peopleās handwriting (okay, I judge them a little) but itās just refreshing to see good penmanship in 2015 because itās so rare. We all just type on computers or phones and the most we write is two or three looping scribbles on a receipt. Hereās a look at someone who doesnāt just type andā¦
This whole short, Ink by Ryan Couldrey, focuses on Tanja Tiziana and the journey of rediscovering the long lost (okay, not quite long lost but soon/almost/eventually) art of calligraphy and just handwriting in general.

The secret to a really effective desk toy is that it has to blend into your office. A pinball machine in the corner is just going to tell your manager you're probably not getting a lot of work done. But a pen/tablet stylus made of magnets opens up a whole new world of slacking off, with your boss being none-the-wiser.
This pen is smooth, sleek, beautiful; it's solid but gracious. And it's even called Nautilus. All things considered, it's enough to make me want to write something in ink instead of typing.
Your finger works just fine as your body's built-in stylus, but sometimesālike when checking Twitter while eating wingsāyou'd rather not touch your screen with your filthy digits. It's those times when carrying a stylus is perfectly justified, and with the clever rubber StretchWrite, you can just use your favorite penā¦
If you've ever used a hot glue gun for a craft project, you already know how tricky and messy they can be to work with. And this is partly why the handful of 3D printing pens already on the market aren't the easiest tools to use. So maybe the CreoPop pen, which instead uses UV light to cure a liquid resin, might be aā¦
They're not as awkward to transport as a piano or a cello, but guitars are far from being the easiest instrument to travel with. And if air guitar never really satisfies your desire to play while away from your instrument, this pen-sized single-string playable guitar might be a better traveling companion.
We here at Gizmodo love pens. We're very particular about what we write with, and heyāwe're pretty fussy about what we're writing on, too. We've got our personal faves, and want to know: What are your go-to notebooks, must-have pads, and never-without journals?
Yes, this is the internet, but we all still have to write by hand sometimes. I was just in the middle of an interview and my pen ran out of ink. What should I get to replace it?
Pininfarina is known for turning Ferraris and other exotic cars into even more impressive works of art, so it's a safe assumption that its new 4.EVER Pininfarina Cambiano writing instrument is going to cost a small fortune when available.
