Montblanc Christmas Gifts With A Message

For some, Christmas is a difficult time as they never know what to get as gifts for the people they know and/or like. You’ve heard the laments; ‘Oh, what do you get someone who’s got everything?!’ or ‘Jeez, I don’t know what such-and-such is into!’ Of course, one solution is to just hammer the monetary value of your gifts and buy them the most expensive things you can (or can’t) afford in order to get your message across. And while that may work, what does that say about YOU? Are you really the kind of guy who knows the price of everything yet the value of nothing? If you are, so be it, but if you think you are more nuanced than that, then perhaps you should consider shopping for something more expressive, like these Montblanc Christmas gifts.

Montblanc make high quality luxury business products that anyone would be chuffed to receive but there’s a difference here; these gifts also come with a baked-in meaning. It all starts with an overarching philosophy that Montblanc are happy to wear on their sleeves; What moves you, makes you. In other words; you are what you believe in – so your personal and business principles don’t compete, they work together to create the success story that is you. Now that’s a nice message to transmit to someone you respect isn’t it!

To illustrate my point, here are a few Montblanc Christmas gift options that come with loads of implied meaning that you can find at the new look Montblanc Boutique in lower Queen Street:

 

Meisterstück Le Petit Prince Special Edition collection

There are pens for writing shopping lists and then there are pens for creating masterpieces of imagination; the Meisterstück Le Petit Prince Special Edition collection certainly falls into the latter category.

Named after possibly the most outrageously creative story ever written, The Little Prince was penned by Frenchman Antoine de Saint-Exupéry based on his experiences after crashing his aircraft in the middle of the Sahara Desert in 1935. He and his co-pilot somehow survived this crash then wandered for days in the blazing heat without liquid hallucinating continuously. At the point of dying, they were beyond lucky to be rescued by a passing camel-riding Bedouin. 

Snatched from the jaws of death, de Saint-Exupéry had had time to reflect on all the events he’d experienced throughout his life and their meaning so he used them to create a story that has stood the test of time – and is equally beloved of both children and adults alike. So popular in fact, that alongside Pinocchio, the Little Prince is the most translated non-religious book of all time.

Of course, you don’t have to crash your own plane in a desert and have to be rescued by Bedouin in order to come up with your own creative masterpiece but hey, sometimes a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do to get the story! Just make sure you take a Meisterstück Le Petit Prince Special Edition pen with you to jot down the hallucinations as they happen.

 

Montblanc Heritage High Artistry Egyptomania Limited Edition

Hands up everyone who has King Tutankhamen’s gold mask on their desktop. Keep ‘em up if you think Queen Nefertiti was a babe; have dressed like an Egyptian at least once for a costume party; and/or have THAT Bangles song on your playlist. If your hand is still up then you have just totally volunteered yourself for a trip to the Montblanc Boutique because they are just as nutty about ancient Egypt as you.

Montblanc actually got in a proper Egyptologist – yes, really! – to help create their Heritage High Artistry Egyptomania Limited Edition pens so all the designs and hieroglyphics you can see on the instruments are influenced by genuine Royal art. From the octagonal sarcophagus shape of the pens to the gold and blue patterns taken from King Tutankhamen’s mask beard, every detail has a relevance an ancient Egyptian time traveller would understand. The scarab on each cap top is a symbol of immortality and rebirth in ancient Egyptian religion as it pushes the setting sun along the sky. The hieroglyphics on the barrel of the Doué version are taken from a passage of the “Book of the Dead” of Hunefer, a royal scribe who lived during the 19th Dynasty – around 1300 B.C. Plus, each writing instrument comes encased inside an elaborate sarcophagus like a precious treasure, with a special cap mechanism to open and close it. 

For true fans of one of the greatest and most mysterious civilisations of all time – and yes, those hieroglyphics on the cap really do translate into the word; ‘Montblanc’!
