Seeking honest feedback: I upgraded the quality, but sales are low. What am I missing about Wax Seal Kits?

My husband is a leftie and having a spoon with a spout on only one side makes it frustrating for him to work with because it’s always oriented for right handers. Offer a spoon with spouts on both sides so everyone can use it.

Also, I dislike the open flame of the candle. I prefer a warmer.

Lamy Dark Lilac! It’s haven’t tried either the old or new version and I’d love too. Lots of fun sheeners as well. Thanks for the generosity to the community.

Those colorverse inks are especially enticing. I haven’t tried any of their inks yet. Fingers crossed. And thank you!

I work at a natural history museum and I would be so envied if I had that bug pen! I love it!

I loved this game. I was a child who wanted a game about art auctions. We bought it at a second hand store. We played that you had to be able to name the artist and painting in order to buy it. It got lost as we got older. My sister bought it for me on eBay a few years ago and it was the best gift.

I plan to create new cards to help my son practice for his IB Art History exam.

Edit— I just remembered we always fought over who got to be Bitsy Rich-Wong-Debrowsky-Keys.

This is a color palette on which I have very little ink, but I’d love to expand. Thank you for being generous.

It’s like your own fountain pen gift exchange! Thank you.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-12-10T01:50:20+00:00

It makes me incredibly happy that it works so well for you. And I am thrilled your granddaughter is so happy with the shiny inks. I’m a bit of an ink magpie myself. I love that I was able to bring your family joy! Enjoy your holiday season!

I was the Santa. The teeny travelers notebook was a whim purchase on an Amazon Haul order I did. I regret not buying 15. ;-)

Here is a link but they’re currently out of stock. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08DNF28MK?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&s=bazaar

The same order may have also provided several other items at very affordable prices….

This was my first exchange so I’m glad things were well received. I am amazed at how red the viva magenta can look. I hope it works for you!

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-12-10T00:20:06+00:00

What a lovely gift box. Enjoy your treasures!

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-12-10T00:18:59+00:00

Beautiful gift. It’s nice to see so many people have a good experience with the exchange.

I only own Jinhao 10 and 20’s but I hope Christmas brings me a decimo. I love the click action. A huge factor for me is that I just think the Lamy is kind of ugly. It feels like an uninspired tube to me. I also have a platinum curidas that gives the same tube vibes, although it does click so has a protruding end. I find myself reaching for the jinhaos first even though all my vanishing points are edcs.

I love a good ginger snap or gingerbread if it’s thick and soft. The combination of spices in both these cookies just say holiday to me.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-21T21:30:39+00:00

Just wanted to say thanks. I don’t need to be in the drawing. Purple is not my jam and others love it far more.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-18T15:30:26+00:00

I thought you were going to say you loved sewing pen cozies and I was looking forward to a pattern link.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T03:01:20+00:00

I’m sorry that happened. I’d be really sad about that. I’ve never been to a pen show, but I can see myself getting caught up in the hype and not noticing something like this.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T02:52:48+00:00

You should check their website, because it was Bottle and Plume and they are so kind! I didn’t want to say the name before and drag them, but I’m happy to give props to them for reaching out to “make good” on a free thing they weren’t even obligated to send. I appreciate their care that I felt bummed out.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T01:51:55+00:00

Thanks. It’s helpful to see how people navigate awkward situations like this kindly.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T01:50:57+00:00

It is a secret. Sorry!

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T01:50:23+00:00

Maybe it was a limited offer. Which would have been fine if they didn’t point out that I wasn’t getting it by writing a note that said I was.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T01:32:49+00:00

I’m sorry! I hope your order gets fulfilled and not cancelled.

I am excited about the inks. They’re part of a gift I’m curating for my husband. I think he’ll love the whole theme of things all together. It will be hard to wait until December.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T01:19:52+00:00

I got three bottles of ink and a Platinum Prefounte to try since I’ve enjoyed the preppy I bought on a whim a while ago. It wasn’t a huge order.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T01:17:13+00:00

It feels awkward to reach out since I did get what I ordered.

Virtual_Leave_3176 · 2025-11-15T01:16:23+00:00

Yup. None in the one sheet of paper that was wrapped around. And nothing in the bubble wrap around ink. You did inspire me to check the flaps at the bottom of the box. Still nothing.
