Just bought a four pack of Parker pens on amazon for £19. Not saying they're the best in the world, but I'm not civilised enough to appreciate anything better.
I can buy a bag of bics (not to be confused with a bag of dicks) that will last me years if i don't lose them. Given my history with misplacing pens i don't see it as a good investment.
On the other hand i have t shirts from 10 years ago.
I find when you believe something is expensive, you treat it that way, meaning you take better care of it and it lasts much longer. I have one expensive all-weather pen I've had for years. Biggest concern is everyone who touches it tries to walk away with it!
Honestly, I'd just give them $20 so they so they can spend it on whatever they want.
Harder to lose a shirt then a pen.
What about a $20 toothpick?
Wtf
I will lose that pen way sooner that I'll lose a shirt.
The pen is mightier than shirt.

Bro you are totally right and it confuses me
Totally unrelated, but your name can be rearranged to "Serve it to h-job" and I think that is beautiful.

I'd rather get a t-shirt than a pen though
Have you ever used a fountain pen? Writing with one is amazing! It makes writing a pleasurable activity!
Since I'm a writer people have gifted me some absolutely wonderful, fancy pens and inks.
I'd still rather have the t-shirt.
What if it was something else more tailored to your hobbies. Say for example if you like to cook, would you prefer a $20 whisk or a $20 kitchen knife?
Lmao definitely a $20 whisk a $20 knife will be trash no?
I guess I could prefer something like a book, but I would never say no to a funny graphic tee or something like that
Me too, I love a good t-shirt! I get what OP is trying to say but the real point is spend the money on something that the person would actually want.
Depends entirely on the t-shirt, and the pen for that matter
Who buys pens?
Yes I would love if someone bought me a cool Buster Keaton T-shirt. F..k a pen buy magic markers to color in pre-made posters.
I guess we all like t-shirts but it works with everything else!
