Pen Friend pen holder: review and giveaway

Pen Friend pen holder review

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.
