I remember when I received my first Cross pen. The pen was presented to me for my 8th grade graduation. It was a gold pen with my name engraved on and I was so excited to have such a beautiful pen. Forty years later, I still have that pen, I have always treasured it. Cross pens have a way of doing that, they are truly a gift that lasts a lifetime. Cross pens have an elegance about them whether they are presented to men, women or young adults. Cross Pens definitely make a statement. I always turn to Cross for birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, graduations and they make perfect Holiday gifts. My beautiful pen is a Cross Botanica (shown above). It is gorgeous as the intricate details in the pen make it more beautiful than it looks in a photo.
Cross offers so much more than just pens. Their pen and pencil gift sets are extraordinary and each design is unique. Cross also has a wide range of accessories which are perfect for gift giving.

I love the idea that Cross wants to revive the lost art of hand written notes. I remember way back when when my husband (then boyfriend) and I handwrote notes and cards to each other, they are keepsakes I will always treasure. I still write my own cards and notes and Cross hopes you too, will continue to do so. I love my new Cross pen and I truly enjoy writing with it. I will treasure it for another forty years!!!!
