First of all they sent me 4 extra pens!!! :) a wonderful surprise. Secondly, they are so pretty and unique.. great gift or a way to show off! The beads are a little loose and one of the mirrors fell off, but you can't even tell and they were worth the price! instead of a candy cane attach a pen to the Christmas card for a 'wow' experience. I want to buy more but they are out of stock :(
