The Pen Friend is a wooden magnetised pen holder, so you can keep a pen handy on your fridge. It was a little Kickstarter project that delivered on time. They are now for sale on David Jonah Design’s website for £6 (about $9). They’re available in maple, walnut, yew or any of these woods combined with baltic birch. This one is made from yew.
It’s a simple design and a simple idea but aren’t they so often the best? The Pen Friend is a piece of wood with a hole in it and a couple of magnets on the back.
Simple ideas need to be executed well, though, if they are to become great products. The Pen Friend looks wonderful and is very well made. The magnets are strong enough to hold it firmly to the fridge so it won’t move around as you put your pen in or take it out. The hole is large enough for most sensibly-sized pens. I can also see this being useful in a workshop as it could be attached to metal shelving or machinery.
I like this very much. It’s a good idea, it’s very well executed, it’s available in a variety of natural finishes and it’s a sensible price.

walnut is one of my favourite woods, but yew is so unusual here, I think I would pick that.
Thank you for the giveaway!
These look wonderful! The maple looks really nice, but I think I’d have to go with the yew. It looks like it’s got a lot of character!
they are really cool i like Maple the most
thanks
I’d have to pick walnut & baltic birch – the combination is striking and gorgeous.
The yew one is beeeeutiful.
that walnut one looks amazing 🙂
I would pick the Walnut & Baltic Birch one as the colour and contrast between each type of wood makes it look classy. Thanks for this giveaway!
Hi Ian, always a pleasure to find someone else online who knows how to spell “favourite” correctly! My favourite pen friend would probably be the maple – simple, classy, and understated. Thanks for the chance (possibly) to win one!
Yew and Baltic birch for me, thanks for the chance!
