Reddit mentions of uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Pens, Medium Point, Black, Box of 12 - 33950

For your use, a notebook would be a lot better for the note taking part. I recommend this one, along with one of these.

As for the browsing reddit and general internet use, the 7 is pretty awesome. I love mine so far.

I personally dislike the G2 because of the consistency of the ink. You'll never want another pen after you try one of these.

Okay, so my recommendations are going to be based heavily on my personal experiences.

My two favorite "non-fountain pen" pens:

Best disposable gel pen: http://www.jetpens.com/Pentel-EnerGel-Euro-Needle-Point-Gel-Ink-Pen-0.5-mm-Black/pd/6265

Best disposable rollerball: http://www.jetpens.com/Morning-Glory-Mach-3-Roller-Ball-Pen-0.38-mm-Black/pd/11347

Now, I usually use fountain pens, because they're the best writing instrument. ;) So, how do you feel about starting to use fountain pens? They have so many advantages over traditional ballpoint/gel/rollerball pens. Let me know if you're interested and I can send over some starting recommendations.

And how do you feel about needlepoint pens like the two I linked above? I like them because they feel more precise on paper, and I also like the needle tip aesthetically over the traditional conical tip.

If you're not willing to purchase from an online retailer (No affiliation with Jetpens! Just a happy customer), I would suggest a Pilot Precise V5 or a Uniball Signo 207, both of which can be found for relatively cheap at Walmart and the like. The V5 is a solid rollerball that's super popular, for good reason. It's dependable, super smooth, and a buttery writer. The Uniball is very similar to the G2, but I find it to be much smoother. So maybe you can give either of these a shot?

Other people may recommend a Parker Jotter or a Fischer Space Pen, but I HATE ballpoint pens. But if that's your thing, give it a shot. These two are more permanent pens which you'll refill.

The clock isn't a 207. Uni-ball makes pens, one of which is the Signo 207.

The question is why there's a clock that commemorates that pen at all.

I am partial to these. But your pen is pretty nifty as well.

Pretty much any office supply store. Target, Walmart, OfficeMax/Depot, staples etc.

Also on amazon here uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Pens, Medium Point, Black, Box of 12 - 33950 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FDR47E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UXiMDbJDZB2D9

I never used baron fig, but I've used tomoe river paper. I love the
Pilot Precise V5 RT Retractable Rolling Ball https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CDW4BZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OG2FybW075H1E but it might be on the inky side that it will dry quick but leave shadowing on the other side of the page.
Another love is Uni-Ball Signo 207 Retractable Gel Pen https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FDR47E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_jL2Fyb3PXX1K1 but gel ink can get smudgy if you don't let it dry.

Also when looking at pens, keep in mind point size. I like medium to fine because I'll write small, but you'll want larger if you write big.

I would say it depends on where they are going. The safest answer is to get them Fisher Space Pens and Field Notes Expedition Editions.
 
The space pen will write anywhere, upside down or high/low altitudes because of the pressurized refills.
 
The FN Expeditions are plasticish paper that is water, rip and acid proof. They come in a 3 pack so 2 packs would be best.
 
If they are not going anywhere crazy, simple Uni-Ball Signo 207 is a perfectly fin and inexpensive pen. And you can get them at a store usually.
 
Then as far as notebooks go i would still go with Field Notes, their regular notebooks would work fine.

Pretty sure it's a uni-ball Signo 207.

Uniball Signo 207 are my go-to pen for bar rushes, but if it's a slow shift, I use a cheap glittter pen. Makes our chef smile, because we hand write our tickets.

Here's some things I like that I've ordered for myself that would be good in a gift box.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FDR47E/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_6 (I love these gel pens)

And I'd add a bunch of notecards, empty folders, maybe some advil, and a cute badge holder.

uh its cheaper to just buy a 12 pack of new signo 207s...

By far my favorite pencil ever.

Favorite pen.

Why is your future pen set so awesome looking? Why am I drawn to it? I want answers!!

I'm a roller ball fan. I will probably use these pens for the rest of my life. But that set is intriguing. I think the fact that the come in a case is what I like so much.

1. Uni-ball Signo 207
   
2. Rite in the Rain "Tactical" Memo Book - Not sure what makes it tactical. It's squared, not ruled?
   
3. Black Diamond Positron 'biner - So sad, my last one lasted me a couple months shy of 20 years, and it got left in a hotel room, and they wouldn't ship it (with all my keys and junk) back to me.
   
4. Loyalty cards
   
5. PNY 16GB "Sport" Flash Drive
   
6. Nite Ize Red LED Squeeze Light
   
7. Name tag from a dearly departed pet
   
8. Keys - House, mailbox, and one I never remember what it's for
   
9. Keys - bike, fire safe
   
10. SecurID fobs for work
    
11. Jaybird BlueBuds X Sport Bluetooth Headphones - As a hands-free, they are sort of noisy for the other party, but they're great for running, rowing, and just normal wear
    
12. HTC One w/ unlimited data plan so I never run out of music when running, rowing, just walking around
    
13. Wedding ring - Titanium w/ dinosaur bone, meteorite, and a bit of gold to make it look schmancy
    
14. CRKT M16-12ZER - I like orange. Recently picked up an M16-12ZLEK because it was on sale, might swap them in and out
    
15. Wallet
    
16. Casio PAW5000-1 Atomic Tough Solar Analog Digital Watch - I like orange, didn't want just digital, and admittedly the ABC sensor was total gadget fetishism
    
17. Fenix PD32 - because I gave the Surefire E2DL to my wife for walking the dog in the evening, because it's wet-crunchy-noise-making stabby bits are longer and sharper.
    
    The only real difference between this and the Not-At-Work Edition is the addition of a Springfield Armory XD Sub-Compact 9mm in bi-tone, a Crossbreed Supertuck holster (don't hate; I have had it for about 6 years, and my clips are actually from Theis Holsters because I got Kydex clips initially, and by the time I decided that metal was a better choice they had those crosses all over them), and the subtraction of the fobs for work.
