The Benu x Goulet Confetti Milkshake Euphoria Fountain Pen
Today we have another delicious looking fountain pen, the Confetti Milkshake from Benu and Goulet.
This pen was an exciting surprise for me when I was perusing the Goulet Pens site. Initially I was looking and drooling over the Iced Caramel Latte Euphoria, but when I saw this one? Oh man. A friend on Instagram penabled me instantly and I had to order both.
The Confetti Milkshake pen is a beautiful white with clear resin, so you can see pockets of the Jimmy sprinkles suspended in the pen. I have an obsession with ice cream, and Jimmy sprinkles are the superior sprinkle (those round ball ones can roll right away from me). The bottom of the cap has a beautiful pastel pink, and the grip/barrel, plus the thread section, are a mint green and a colourful sky blue. It brings me such cheer to write with.
I got mine with a Fine nib, and it’s a lovely nib. There is a bit of bounce to the nib, so I find it much nicer with cursive than with printing. My perfectionism can be a bit… unpleased with different line width when printing.
Here’s the unboxing video of the pen, if you’re so inclined to watch.
In terms of the buying experience, the team at Goulet were super lovely to deal with! I did leave a note asking for both of the pens I purchased to be tested before being shipped to me, just in case there was any issues (so I didn’t have to ship it back). They said yes, and it still shipped out fast!
The one downside (which isn’t their fault), was the astronomical duty and tax I had to pay for this one - a bit of a surprise. Standard shipping to Canada was I believe $28USD at the time of purchase. When it was on my way to me via Fedex, I did have to pay about $104 in duty and taxes, which did drastically shoot up the cost for both my pens LOL.
As of February 5, 2024, I haven’t seen this particular pen on the Goulet site! So I’m not sure what’s happening, but hopefully this gorgeous pen makes a return.
