Sharks Six Colour Ballpoint Pen with Clip

This six colour pen carries a whole shoal of sharks around its barrel, so every note you write comes with a little underwater company. The barrel is a deep navy blue, printed with sharks in soft grey, pale blue and warm orange swimming in rows between the navy tip and the white collar at the top. Inside sit six inks, black, purple, blue, green, orange and red, each on its own slider, so you pick a colour with one push of the thumb. At 14cm long it is a familiar ballpoint size that sits comfortably in the hand.

Six colours in one pen means one less thing to hunt for on a busy desk. It earns its place in a pencil case, a home office drawer or beside the planner on the kitchen table, ready for colour-coded lists, marked-up notes, diary entries and the odd margin doodle. Red for deadlines, green for done, blue for everyday writing: the system is yours to choose, and switching takes a second. The shark print keeps it easy to spot among plainer pens, and the clip lets it ride on a notebook cover or a jacket pocket so it goes where the writing happens.

The pen is made from plastic with a metal ballpoint tip, and it is light enough to forget it is in your pocket. The clip and rounded end cap are finished in the same navy as the barrel, with the white collar showing each ink's colour on its slider. To look after it, wipe the barrel with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and slide each ink back up when you have finished so the tips stay clean. It makes an easy little extra to tuck into a card or a parcel, and it looks just as good standing in a pot on the desk.
