If you ever wanted to give a gift to someone that wanted something multi functional, you must try the Ultimate 5-in-1 Geek Pen. This Geek Pen can do a number of things that you possibly can’t imagine a pen to do. If you twist the shaft in one way it becomes a ballpoint pen. If you do it the other way, it becomes a stylus tip and in another way, it becomes a laser pointer. It also is nice because it can also become a flashlight and UV light.
It measures about 5.25″ long and is one of the most multi tasking gadgets I have ever seen. This geekish gadget is also pretty cheap and costs only $9.99. It is a cheap gift for one of those nerds you encounter who would not understand the value of Prada underwear and Gucci thongs.

This one is their masterpiece. An exclusive and exquisite pen designed by the oldest most prestigious makers of pen in Italy has had the world spellbound. Believe it or not, but this gorgeous instrument for writing has around 2,000 ‘4C’ De Beers certified diamonds on a two hectogram solid platinum barrel, which, by the way, has a double tone shade because of being rhodium treated. An 18KT gold nib complements the brilliant design.
Believed to be the most expensive pen in the world, the price of this pen has not been made open to the public. But experts have calculated it to be close to 1 million Euros. And what adds to the beauty and enigma of this pen, is the fact that every year only one person gets to own it with a personalization with their coat-of-arms, signature, or portrait.

“The pen is mightier than the sword” wrote Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Little did he know that in future it will be ‘costlier’ also than most things! While it might disappoint our friends who have leftist inclination, the fact is, that pen, once considered a weapon of the intellectuals, has now become a status symbol. Well I am not going to crib or cry about that. If we can spend millions on our silly whims and fantasies, splurging on the good ol’ pen does make sense to me. ( to be taken with a pinch of salt!)
The new Maserati sterling silver pen is designed by none other than Armando Simoni, the true blue native of Italy. Only thing is, he makes a rinascimento in luxury goods!

Writers with an eternal relation with pen can here witness the possibilities attached to it and surpasses beyond the recognition of a writing instrument to a classy gadget. Instead of relying upon most recent microprocessor manufacturing techniques, it is the design form that adds to the appeal of the pen with technicalities at its most simple. Called Conway Stewart âEvolution pen,â it sports a perfunctory trick and took three long-years for its development. It is a clear indication that calling it an ordinary pen wonât be a wise statement to make. The holder can tailor pen’s center of gravity from front to the back as per the level of your fatigue and writing style.
Certainly, it must have been a challenge before the production company to engineer a pen with an adjustable weight. And the stamped solid silver body makes it prove its name and mark an evolution of a new breed of pens that would bring a revolution in the industry by alarming competitors. Counted 200 models are anticipated to be produced with each one retailed at $2,700.
