St. Jude Milestone Giveaway - Skogsy Pens LVED 14mm

Skogsy Pens LVED 14mm

I’m raising money for St. Jude during the month of September, and as we hit fundraising milestones, I’ll keep adding items to give away to anyone and everyone who would like to enter.

We have hit our first milestone for the 2026 campaign, and to kick things off, I am giving away a Skogsy Pens Low Volume Eye Dropper (LVED) 14mm, with a polished Black cap and grip section, and Clear acrylic barrel. It is fitted with a Jowo #6 Stainless Steel Medium nib, and will ship with a Rickshaw Pen Sleeve, and silicone grease for eyedropper filling. Big thanks to Skogsy Pens for donating this pen to help us raise money for the kids!

One note: this, and all other St. Jude Milestone Giveaways will run until October 2nd, officially closing at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

These giveaways are free for all to enter, and I ship worldwide. There are more giveaway milestones to hit, so check out and share the campaign and help myself and Relay raise money for St. Jude Children’s Hospital during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The Pen Addict Podcast: Episode 732 - I Went Ahead and Bought a Bunch of Pens

Pelikan Hubs 2026

TL;DR - We screwed up.

I mean, who doesn’t just go out and buy a bunch of pens, right?

Ok, maybe Pelikan doesn’t because they are busy causing a ruckus with the upcoming Pelikan Hubs. That’s a hot mess express, but hopefully heading towards a resolution. I also break down the new uniball Zento Flow Multi Pen, which is the opposite of a hot mess express. In fact, I think it could be better than the Signature - with a One refill swap.

The Pen Addict for St. Jude 2026 - Here We Go!

Relay for St. Jude

The 2026 Relay for St. Jude Campaign has officially kicked off!

Last year, The Pen Addict raised over $25,000 during the month of September for Childhood Cancer Awareness month as part of over $700,000 raised by the Relay community. Since 2019, we have raised over $4.8 MILLION dollars for the kids, and are excited to keep it going.

For this year’s fundraiser, I’m running back most of what I did last year with Tiltify, our long-time fundraising partner. Yes, there will be postcard art, a new Ink “Cowboy Pony” Club to paint, and an opportunity for me to roast your favorite stationery. Oh yeah, there are awesome Relay digital and physical goodies, too.

What else is in store? In my attempt to raise $20,000 this year, I have enlisted the help of many wonderful friends around the stationery world, and with each $2000 raised, I’ll drop a new giveaway on the blog. Like last year, these giveaways are free to enter, and everyone can participate - no donations required. If you can help us spread the word I wouldn’t mind!

And if we clear $20,000 before the month is out, I’ll just have to add more awesomeness. And you should be sure that I have more awesomeness!

Find out all of the details and incentives directly on my campaign page, or head directly to the donations page if you would like to participate.

I’ll be promoting this campaign through the month, and I’ll be in Memphis once again this year for our Podcastathon, live from the campus at St. Jude. Me, Myke, Stephen, Kathy, Casey, and Jason will be bringing our best YEE-HAW game to the event, so I hope you can join us.

Thank you again to everyone who has supported our fundraising efforts over the years, and here’s to another big year in 2026!
