A Hamilton Pen Company Gift Guide!
It's that time again! Father’s day is fast approaching and it is one of those rare occasions that we get to unabashedly celebrate the fathers, father figures, step-fathers and everything in between. It can be hard to come up with the perfect present and although a good pair of socks is often very much welcomed…we are here to provide a little inspiration for those who are looking for something for the stationery loving dad (who maybe has plenty of socks for now!).
Don’t forget, gifts don’t always need to be a huge gesture, a well written letter, card or a passionately drawn picture will no doubt bring a smile to the face of the recipient so look out for our selection of pens, paper stock and art supplies to add a little pizazz to this years card! That being said, dads deserve to be spoiled from time-to-time so why not treat your father to something special this June 19th!
If you are looking for a special gift or just a little something that says you care, we have compiled a list of some of our favourite gift ideas for Father’s Day 2023. With literally thousands of items on our website, explore The Hamilton Pen Company for more ideas. Look no further for inspiration and our top gifts ideas for this Father’s Day for the Dads who enjoy quality stationery and accessories.

Wearingeul Fountain Pen Ink - Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde Ink Set
For fans of fiction and fun...Wearingeul inks are sure to delight and the Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde set is brilliant! Let your dad feel like a mad scientist this Father's Day!
Written by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and first published in 1886, the story is about a London legal practitioner who investigates strange occurrences between his good friend Dr Henry Jekyll and the evil Mr Edward Hyde. The 'good and evil separation experiment' carried out by Dr Jekyll is now expressed as the Jekyll to Hyde ink whereby you can transform the ink from a red to a purple by injecting it with the Conversion Solution!
Dr Jekyll ink is a toned down blush red ink that was inspired by the gentle and calm character of Dr Henry Jekyll. It focuses on the coexistence of good and evil that exists within the idealistic character who is not a nice person. Doctor Henry Jekyll was expressed through the calm and static yet not so pure and abstruse colour of the ink.
The Mr Hyde ink is a Do It Yourself ink where like the experiment of Dr Jekyll in which Henry Jekyll turns into Edward Hyde, once you inject the conversion solution into the ink bottle, the liquid turns into ink with a purple base and a green sheen.
The completed Mr Hyde ink has a purple ink base but a green sheen that shows up as it encroaches the dark ink. The ink expresses the evilness of the character as well as the mysterious yet dark and gloomy sentiment through the colour.
This set contains two 30ml bottles of ink, a tube of conversion solution, a syringe and a blunt needle.
