If you’re looking for a fun, artistic pen to jazz up a festive birthday card, I recommend the Metallic Sakura Gelly Roll. They come with a 0.8 mm tip, which lets you create bold art and doodle to your heart’s content.

Just make sure that you give the ink a bit of time to dry, or your masterpiece might smudge. 

Have you barely made it to the end of this semester all in one piece? Has this year been a shit storm of drama and emotional turbulence? Well, you’re not alone.
