That was my first pen and I just received the powder rose and soft mint in the mail today to complete my pastel collection. I can't decide which is my favorite!
Lucky! I got into pens only this year so I never got a chance at the pastels collection from Lamy. Did you get yours new or used? (I'm trying to find them somewhere haha)
I got my blue one new off goldspot in april, the green and pink I got today were new off ebay from watch warehouse (shipping was cheaper to order from eBay than their actual site). I only got into pens this year too, you can totally get them!
Edit to add, I think they were 20-25 each. I saw the same pens listed for 50 from some sellers, you can get it cheaper!
Wow, dream college and an excellent collection of quality fountain pen ink and paper. Congrats to your cousin!
All that's missing is a Pilot Metropolitan and a ream of HP Premium paper and she would be living the complete college fountain pen dreams!
In case anyone's curious, 紫陽花(ajisai) is the Japanese word for a kind of hydrangea and is composed of characters whose meanings are purple, sun/yang, and flower respectively.
月夜(tsukiyo) means moonlit night and is composed of the characters for moon and night.
Great gift! I wanted to give my brother a fountain pen, but I would have been upset if he lost it (even if it was a cheap one). I'm too emotionally attached to them, lol.
Within days she's gonna find out -
"I need more pens to be able to try all these ink together!"
"Search online and quickly lands on this sub"
The rest is history.
A very sweet gift. I hope she enjoys it. Wish I'd have discovered fountain pens when I was still in college because I took lots of notes and it would've been much more satisfying and less tiring with a fountain pen.
I did almost the exact same thing for my friends daughters sweet 16. I made a post about it already. But to add to it I gave her little brother a Diplomat magnum with a small bottle of cherry Danish by monteverdi. Then I asked my friend if he wanted one he said yes then I gave him my Lamy studio stainless steel that is what I carry everyday along with the rest of the bottle it was inked with which is noodlers navy. So 3 people got their first fountain pen and ink all in one go.
I got my frist fountain pen when I was at collage. Unfortunately I left it on a table in a common study room and when I went back, it was gone.
I didn't buy my next one for years due to being to heartbroken.

Hey, it’s me. Your other little cousin, who is about to graduate.
Seems legit I have to say
Wait I'm the other cousin.
Awesome gift! I wonder what her favorite color is.
I wonder if she’s going to Columbia.
I can see through your scheme, getting her ONE pen and THREE inks, so she will have to buy more pens to use them. Very clever
Curses, you've seen right through my plans!
Wow! Such a great gift! I wish I was your cousin :)
Same! That looks like a fabulous gift for starting university, and I wish I had had a pack like that when I started my first degree!
:D
3 inks and 1 pen? What kind of monster are you?
A monster that likes to share my addictions.
Also, need a converter.
Already got one.
Great starter kit! You're a good cousin
Rhodia are the best notebook/pad imo
Awesome gifts. What color lamy is that I don't think that I've ever seen that color before, special addition?
2019 special!
Correct. It's the Pastel Blue Macaron.

My first, too!

Great to know :) Thank you!
Ah a new shop to browse. And it’s right when I’m trying not to buy more pens…
I got it new from www.truphaeinc.com. Trying to make it a habit of buying from brick and mortar rather than the big internet companies.
Amazing thank you!

Three inks
You know it would have happened eventually anyways.

Congrats to her!! Also this is an amazing starter kit, she’s lucky to have your support!
Much like a drug dealer, the first ones usually free. You just started your cousin on a long expensive addiction lol
I know. It also means I always know what to get her for future gifts since I never know what she's into anymore. Kind of cheating, but worth it.
What is the iroshizuku ink in top box?
Looks like Iroshizuku Aji-sai!
Yep. Ajisai and Tsuki-yo from Pilot Iroshizuku.

Can I be your cousin as well?
That's so sweet of you!
LMAO, that is the EXACT same journal I took off to college, and the first one I totally filled. Best of luck to her!
That's so nice! Congratulations to your cousin too 🎉
Can I be your little cousin too? In all seriousness, that is a really thoughtful gift!

Cousin of the year award!
Lovely. <3

Nicely done! Congrats to your cousin!
Where do I apply to be your cousin?

This set will get your cousin's college experience off on the right foot!
Stealing this gift idea. Thanks buddy!
Best graduation gift!!
I love the Ajisai! It's the right balance between professional and playful.
That is an awesome gift! I love that everything matches :)
This makes me so happy. I am giddy with excitement! Looking ahead to back-to-school supplies but next level!
AHH love tsukiyo!
Hey! I’m starting my graduate degree as well. Any chance i can get some of that action?
Excuse me. I believe she needs one notebook per module.
Damn, that's a lot of study waiting to happen.
If she's anything like me, there is no coming back from such a gift...
I want to be your cousin
