A few years back, Diamine had an idea that now seems kind of obvious. But at the time, it sounded a bit odd. Let's make an advent calendar, they thought, with ink. All new inks, 25 of them. And people loved it - that part isn't too surprising, to be honest. 25 new inks for your fountain pens, a new ink as a surprise every day as Christmas approaches?
If you're thinking "They can't possibly come up with 25 completely new inks every year, to put in an advent calendar, surely?", that's pretty much what we thought. Though we might have been a bit less surprised that they pulled it off, because we've known Diamine for a while, and they do not back down from a challenge. And they really do love making new inks.
And if all those new inks don't sound like your idea of a super-fun holiday time, maybe you know someone else who'd love it? They've been very popular gifts too.
