What's Wrong With This Picture?

This is the time of year when gifts beyond the pale of necessity and even lavishness appear. I recall a seven foot stuffed giraffe selling for close to one thousand dollars. 

All the catalogs haven't been sent, the weekend newspaper inserts are not yet stuffed into the paper, and Montblanc may have trumped all the wildly " you don't really need this " gift ideas.

They have created a software program to analyze your writing " and create a bespoke fountain pen nib--made to suit one's individual writing speed, angle, pressure and more." That individualized service costs $850. Of course that doesn't include the fountain pen. Nib and pen will you cost $2000.

Makes me want to use a dollar Bic pen.

Ooh, the perfect gift for a Mont Blanc lover. I wish they didn't have that little white flower at the top. It's a decent fountain pen and rollerball, but I feel it's too gaudy to use.
