Hand writing becoming ancient history

My boomer mother in law is one of the last examples left from the old world. Where school prioritized teaching kids to hand write. She writes poetry and grocery lists and notes all by hand. And is always in need of new ink pens.

For her birthday I'm getting her more ink pens, and never before has it been this hard to find a decent price for a couple blue ballpoint ink pens.

They are mainly found on scrapbooking sites like "CreativewithMia.com" where they take delivery charge double the price of the product.

I searched for around an hour scrolling scrolling reading typing scrolling. Until I found 1 product that had blue ink pens in a set of 10, with good hand grip in different colours and normal delivery costs. I snatched up the last one in layer.

(Ps. Not everyone online is from the US)

In England we still have some decent stationery shops which stock a reasonable selection of pens and ink etc - at reasonable prices. Amazon UK has a large selection of Parker pens (which is what I use)

@ArtieKat I found them on amazon! Maybe from UK even who knows 🤔

@Queendragonfly I'd rather support independent shops but, frequently, they just can't compete with Amazon.

@ArtieKat Nearest shop for me is just too far away. It's cheaper to order online and I must be cheap , I'm on low wage.
