BGS The Ink Experience Kit

$59.95
Boston General Store

Pen and ink have long been a classic duo, used for everything from grocery lists to great works of literature. While the tools have evolved—from early soot-based inks and reed pens to the instruments we know today—the act of putting pen to paper remains a simple, enduring pleasure in a digital world.

Our Fall 2025 Office Club celebrated The Ink Experience with this curated kit designed to help you mix your own custom ink colors and try them with a selection of pens and papers. We hope it inspires you to slow down, experiment, and rediscover the value of writing by hand.

In each kit you'll receive:

  • 3 jars of L’Ecritoire mixing ink in red, yellow, and blue
  • 3 pipettes to measure and transfer your ink
  • a small beaker and three wooden stir sticks for mixing
  • 3 empty glass vials (with labels) for storing your custom ink blends
  • E + M’s natural wood nib holder
  • 1 Nikko dip pen nib
  • a set of 50 small swatch papers
  • a recipe to get you started
